Grishin though is a solid fighter, his 2 ufc losses are to tybura top 10 hw, and jacoby who should be ranked, and arguably won that jacoby fight.
Knight shouldn't be in the ufc imo.
The only thing that worries me about Grishin is his age and cardio. But other than that he is better than him everywhere.

Robert Whittaker, DEC
I've been slacking on picks lately. I haven't given it much attention and when I have, it's not where I want it. My gut is usually right despite my going against it so I'm basing this off of who I feel wins.

Izzy/Rob will probably be boring, Izzy has too much Anderson in him to initiate against anyone he respects or is worried about (see Romero) and Rob will probably turn to grappling for the win and he's not an exciting grappler.
Lewis/Tai will probably be great as long as it lasts but will we learn anything new? Probably not.
Brunson/Cannonier is a more extreme version of the main event; either Jared sparks him most likely early or Brunson will dry hump him.
Several of the prelims will probably be good but there's 15 fights, way too many.
The 2 fights that probably interest me the most are both pretty low-level: Grishin/Knight & Ulberg/Cherant.
I think Grishin got a much tougher fight. The question is can he do what Jung did and take and keep Knight down. Knight is usually a good scrambler and dangerous with ground and pound. Grishin has fought at HW so can he handle Knight's raw power?
And Ulberg will probably win but I just love Cherant's nickname and keep hoping he'll live up to it. Nobody ****s with an angry water buffalo.

Tough matchup for whittaker because he's a range fighter and he will be at like a 8 inch disadvantage, hopefully he's patience, can touch Izzy, and we get a war of some sort. That's my ideal fight.
