I think there's a time to win fans, and a time to play it smart in the upper ranked fights. Rakic should have just won a title shot (if Izzy didn't come up and Glover was getting a shot). 

What was Santos doing is my question? You've got one punch power that hits people like hollow point bullets, yet fights like he's got the yips. At least in the Glover fight, he was landing shots.

Glover is next, Prochazka could finish reyes and be next after that. If Ankalaev & Hill continu to win Rakik could never get is title shoot.

This Izzy fight is lowkey ******* up the division longterm, when it would otherwise be pretty hot right now. He already says he's going back to 185. Jan winning would be the best thing possible for the light heavies.

Rakic will be #2 in the rankings on Monday. He's closer than you think Hyrm.

If Izzy wins the UFC would be smart to just feed him Glover quickly and let him defend the title against a 41 year old.

That weird leg triangle these guys do is wild. Where they lock your ankles together and you look like you're laying on a beach recliner. It's so emasculating.
