Whittaker vs. Costa
Robert Whittaker, DEC
this should be a good one for fifteen minutes, whittaker is one of the most skilled fighters in his weight class and im expecting him to use his wide arsenal of striking and mixing in takedowns to edge this one out i think rob will honestly win all three rounds but costa will look good

Makhachev vs. Volkanovski
Alexander Volkanovski, TKO, R2
i think its volks time to become the next double champ he has so much heart and such superior striking that if he can somehow find a way to scramble or stuff islam on his takedowns then i think he can knock islam out on the feet this man has power and is fast he also is a stocky fw even though he is small so i dont see LW being a problem

I wish promotions would do this more often. Where literally right after 1 fight is over, the next one is announced. For special occasions like this

I think Paulo Costa loses his last UFC fight. He was an overrated power ove technique striker anyway.

Why not make Sean O'Malley vs Aljamain Sterling, Sean is the bigger star and is the rightful number 1 contender??? Literally no reason not to make that fight, Cejudo great, But he ain't a star and he been retired for 2-3 year by now, Also retired fighter for the belt clog up the division

But, I'm going to try and be their, You just going to hear me chearing for Sterling as his only fan

Chito is a much better #1 contender than O'Malley. Sean fought a good fight but him being #1 for getting a gift victory over Yan is clown ****. The fact that Merab and O'Malley both jumped Chito in the rankings is hilariously bad.

I rather have either Sean O'Malley or Chito fight Sterling and the other fight Sandhagen then give the title shot to Cejudo. Chito might be more derseving, But Sean technically beat Yan(Don't want to get into a discussion about the score, But the judges gave it to Sean), Sean a biggest star in the division and you can give him a title shot now,  Why not get a fight which people will watch and give you money

I just want them to give it to the two valid contender that want to fight Sterling, instead of giving it someone who been retierd for 3 years, Batamweight is the best division in the UFC, I want to see Sterling fight contenders

Je savais qu'O'malley gagnerait contre Petr Yan, Yan a tremblé de peur quand il s'est fait rouler dessus au R3 il a égrèné le temps en s'accrochant pour rentrer en lutte c'était son échappatoire car à ce moment précis O' malley l'aurait détruis par KO

Petr Yan cherchais à aller à la décision cela s'est ressenti pour qu' au final !une décision partagée mérité pour O'malley qui a chercher à finir le combat. O'malley sera CHAMPION !!! soyez en sûre et il devancera cette merde de Mc Gregor en popularité

Chito Vera très dangereux pour la catégorie il a la dalle il casse la mâchoire du pauvre Edgar avec un kick du futur, fait tomber le nez de Cruz. Ce gars n'est pas une blague. VAMOS CHITO MATALOS A TODOS

The more I look at this fight, the more excited I get, but at the same time I genuinely dont see how Volkanovski wins this. Like literally how? I can't see a world where he doesn't get taken down and put to sleep within a couple rounds maximum
