why is there such a huge size, frame and probably also walking-weight difference?
UFC should also introduce walking-weight like ONE to prevent this. Also the Middleweight (almost a Light Heavweight) Pereira fighting in the welterweight is odd.
The last fight before he came to UFC Pereira weighed in at 204.6 lbs. And on the UFC-scales he miraculously and allegedly makes the welterweight.

I was definitely sweating that with 30 seconds left on the clock. But I hit my two contender bets which is always good given how inconsistent it can be. Sometimes I wonder why I bet the contender series at all lol.

Tafon Nchukwi just finished his bout against the undersized Matavao with a great kick to the chin to put Matavao to sleep... Nchukwi looks somewhat powerful... His Strikes are clean, but also quite predictable... Plus he looks a little flat footed... I expected Nchukwi to Win and he will probably get a Contract after the finish he produced, but he still requires some work before he can climb the ladder too far in the UFC without taking his first loss... OSP I feel would sleep him if they were to fight in the next 6 months... But Nchukwi has some good skills to refine, improve and develop... Matavao will come again... Hopefully he will get matched against a fighter more his own size next time, but he fought well until he was taken out... His Cardio definitely needs a little work, because the pace of the fight throughout was relatively slow, but he looked gassed when the finish came... 🖋️🤔🥊👊👊🥊👍

Thank you for not giving Blackledge a contract. If the main thing you do on the ground is push your face into someone’s chest, you’re not ready for the big league.

Laura Stanko looks absolutely stunning to be fair!! After watching good fights, it's appreciated to have someone interview who is easy on the eye... She does a good job too.... 🤔👊👍
