I am.done doubting Adesanya now.  I picked Gastelum against him and I almost had Whittaker here.
No more doubting him, he is legit AF!!

Imagine if Costa murders Adesanya....knowing how much of a tunstyle MW is it will probably happen! I can see the belt changing hands a few times in the next couple of years...all the top 3 have the potential to not just win but destroy one another....Like I would pick Romero over Adesanya but maybe Adesanya over Costa and Maybe Whittaker over Costa if his chin isn't totally shot. Interesting times.

Well, that sucks...but it is what it is.

Good card overall, worst fight was probably mathews vs the manbear and even that wasn't that bad.

I too wish that fight lasted longer. 


2 True Nigerian Champions on the board..


First tests? Perfect example of a hated but thoroughbred American with a political agenda & a "God Gifted" Brazilian with unbreakable faith & will, capable of absolute destruction. 


Nothing beats Prize-Fighting.

Now I can finally revert to @Mikey


Best championship fight of the weekend was obviously Froes dominating upset over ANGRY Salman Zhamaldaev?!

Sadly I think you're right Phil. I don't want to believe it's true but what the Whittaker we saw in the second Yoel fight would not have been dropped from those shots. Chins don't age like wine.

That was a long layoff vs 1 of the most active & surgical guys possible




IMO that was more of the issue.

I wonder if Robbie will ever have the same durability after the Romero wars the getting stylisticallybent and ****** in the arse. Those three fights may have taken years off
