Adjoudj vs. Sasu
Asaël Adjoudj, TKO, R1
We got to see the massive improvements Adjoudj made in the grappling department, always a concern with high level kickboxers. This dude IS high level..the speed, the feints, the combos, the setups. It's going to be a clinic that I'm totally excited for. Sasu’s offensive grappling & low output striking is levels below Asael’s

Khamidov vs. Petshi
Sarvarjon Khamidov, SUB, R3
Of this style made famous by Khabib, there are many wannabes who are mediocre at it. Khamidov is the real deal, he is impeccable at it. If you have good TDD & good getups, it doesn't matter - he continues mauling (Vs. Yoo). His striking is so dangerous as well (we saw last fight as it was all on the feet) - he’s certainly a future title contender

From what I understand it was partly timing, GSP came back and Bisping upset the title picture so everyone else had to wait. Gegard had worked with Scott Coker before and got a good offer, didn't want to wait forever for a title shot in the ufc.

mousasi left ufc because Dana did think mousasi wasnt sellable because he isnt a media type of guy. bellator offered him more money and because he didn't get a title shot at ufc he made a money choice

Johns vs. Alves
Brett Johns, DEC
Cara, esta será uma lutaça! O Durin é um excelente atleta! Ele tem um jogo em pé muito sólido! E, por outro lado, acredito que o Brett Johns seja um dos 20 melhores atletas do mundo nesta divisão de peso. Visualizo uma vitória do Galês na decisão dos juízes. Creio que este usará o jogo agarrado para neutralizar e vencer o brasileiro. Será um lutão!

Islam isnt a race. I was probably off my meds that day like they wore off, but I have zero issue with them, I actually think they are God fearing great people, every group has their issues, but I would prefer as others do if they could just keep it in their own lands please, or assimilate to western values
