If adesanya is backing that guy to be a top light heavyweight then I’m worried about his fight with jan. I can see him out landing him then getting clipped

Who would have thought that Kennedy would have finished Carlos Ulberg after watching the first 3 minutes of Round 1...Kennedy kept composed though and paced himself more effectively... A great striking fight, another finish... 5 for 5 and Ulberg will have to learn that attack only takes you so far if you don't get the finish... Needs to work on his gas tank a little too... 🤑👏🤔🧐👊🥊👍💯

@AceGrains Magomed never fought Kennedy. Sorry if this is a joke that's going over my head but I think you're thinking of Dalcha . Or is it just cause they look kinda similiar lol?

You've got to move your head and pace yourself in kickboxing too, so I dunno what that was. Dude bought into his own hype and couldnt fathom that someone would stand up to him.

can't expect ulberg to fight other than a kickboxer, even dustin jacoby looked flat the other day against grishin.
