Justin Gaethje, TKO, R2
Expect this fight to be violence for however long it lasts. I anticipate it to last 2 with gaethje getting a devastating finish with constant pressure and vicious leg kicks. Gaethje has become a lot more calculated and reserved in his recent fights and I believe that it will help him in this fight... Not to mention the extra 3 weeks of training he will have to prepare for Tony. Also, take note that Ferguson cutting weight to 155 this week could potentially play a big factor in this fight. He looked awful (drained)... and for anyone who knows about weight cutting they know that it takes a tole on your kidneys and results in a lower immune system, meaning that it is not beneficial for Tony to cut a reasonable amount of weight 3 weeks prior to him doing it all over again. Tony more than likely walks round at somewhere between 185-190 which is quite a lot of weight considering he will have to do it all over again in a couple more weeks. Even if he is doing it in the correct way, it still will have an affect on him and will not be good for him in anyway shape or form.

I’d imagine the event as a whole is canceled, but the above message could also be taken as the event may happen just not in its original location, which we already knew.

My local council charges me 1975$ a year in rates to live on a property with no mains water or sewage. Nice 2 acre paddock that I have to mow every three days in summer, I get mobile reception 50% of the time and the highest net speed I can get is 1.3MBS so I guess it all works out though.

When Justin was announced as the replacement for Khabib I thought “this will be interesting, but I’m taking Tony”.
When the matchup got kicked back to May I thought “This fight just got more interesting now that Justin has more time to prepare for a specific opponent. Still giving a very slight edge to Tony”
Now, I’m sitting here thinking about that frivolous weight cut Ferguson made last week and am thinking “Geez, I’m thinking Justin walks away with this one”
I know Tony’s a character all his own, but it seems pretty foolish to cut weight for a fight that’s not happening when you know you could possibly have a fight(and another weight cut) within a few weeks. I know he was trying to prove a point, but I won’t be surprised if he’s laying on his back questioning that decision with a flashlight in his eyes come May 9th.

I’ve thought for a while that Spencer could give Nunes problems on the ground. I’d still pick Nunes for the win, but wouldn’t be shocked if she got out-grappled either.
