Kelvin Gastelum vs. Izzy was his best fight, destroyed Whittaker in the first fight and destroyed Costa. I don't know why people compare him to Anderson Silva, who played with Maia, Leites and Patrick Cote.

The comparisons can stop now, Anderson, a part from his wrestling, was great in submissions and knocking oponnents out. 14 finishes and 17 wins in a row, so now stop comparing this Disney watching bum to an all time GOAT. 



Only pick I feel was bad was Tavares and looking back now Pedros
Hard to see Lawler go out that way, it's been a while since a fighter losing has depressed me.

Great PPV from start to finish!

Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 5 Perfect, 650 Points   |   Tied for 76th



Izzy and Volk delivered as expected.

That left hook from Pereira is lethal.

Always knew Bam Bam had underrated power but I didn't think he still had power like THAT.

O'Malley / Munhoz was anticlimactic.

Seems the future has arrived with Maycee Barber and Ian Garry.

Surprised to see Du Plessis come back and win Rounds 2 & 3 after dropping the 1st to Tavares.

Also surprised with Stoliarenko pulling off the 2nd fastest submission in division history.

Wonderful night of fights.

@RHillman Great PPV? Are you telling yourself that to justify the $80 that you wasted? The O'Malley fight ended in an eye poke, the Izzy fight was a snoozefest, Volk's dominating performance was a snoozefest, and the Strickland-Pereira fight wasn't competitive at all (the KO itself was cool but I can go find the highlight on Youtube).

Pedro has a torn cornea, so the eye poke was significant. If people think their eyes are tough they should try running into someone that jabs their finger into their eyeball, eyelids closed or not. Seriously go test it out if you think he's a quitter, I think you'll be shockingly surprised by the end result YOU ***** lol

Also I read a stat on twitter that Max has now absorbed the most strikes in UFC history (over 2000), more than Cerrone AND Lawler (not combined). That **** is truly concerning seeing how he's nearly 10 years younger. I think this dude needs to take like a good year or two off and re-think his career future.

I wanted to wait a bit for the dust to settle, but people calling Pedro a quitter gotta realise this man has never been finished in his career. What in your mind tells you that this man would want a way out? It's like when Jeremy Stephens got eye poked. Tough ************ that said "It's bad" and knew his eye was jacked.

This isn't a movie, this is real life. This is their body on the line, if he got poked, and he said it's over he knows. I'm not gonna fight with one eye, he knew his eye was ******. He's not afraid to fight, he's probably serious concerned for his eye and freaking out.

Perreira is real, nobody drop Strickland like that! He is more precise and have more handspeed then Adesanya. I think guy like Vettori or Romero can outwrestle him but Adesanya wont. Adesanya is probably the best at distance management in all weight class now but I dont know if it will be enought.

Ya know. 
Wouldnt it be great if after all this, Holloway took a year off to move up to lightweight and had an Aldo esque run there.
That would be fantastic.

Max will 100% keep fighting. I agree that it's concerning, but I'm sure that stat is not something he cares about. I also highly doubt that he will change his fighting style because of it. If he does go up to Lightweight to get some fights there, it becomes truly concerning. Since those guys hit a lot harder and are much bigger than him as well. We already saw what happened to him in his fight against Poirier.

I think Max should retire. Mans has nothing to prove and this is another one of those fights where he took years off of his life
