I can respect that Spann tried to make weight, Weight cuts are hard And especially when they try and do hard ones to lose like 20% of the body weight, My issue is when they don't try and all they do it take the piss of the system, And honesly, what 0.6lbs(200g) gonna do in the fight

It's a good sign when only one weight miss and it by a small ammont

I think 3 fighters missed weight but I agree, the important part is they make a serious effort to get there. I hate it when a fighter weighs in heavy with 2 hours left to cut and calls it a day.

Tepid introduction video to the main event. I think Izzy will stay on the outside for 25 minutes, take no chances, and retain the belt. Not even Izzy sounded convinced when he said you don't want to miss this one.
Good thing entire card is filled with bangers.

Adesanya vs. Pereira
Israel Adesanya, TKO, R3
Izzy is ready! He’ll make history tomorrow, I can tell throughout this entire build up he has something up his sleeve for this fight, I believe he’ll make it look easy and disappoint the naysayers once again. He could honestly retire after this if he wanted to, this is that fight that shuts everyone up, similar to the Floyd - Manny fight, will close that chapter and leave no what ifs. And still.
