I would be incredible at anything. But better than MMA Betting. I think it's not possible. It would tear the fabric of time and space and I don't want everyone to die

@Tapology 
Well folks, 5 more sleeps as the great Jon Anik would say. Lots of emotions and excitement as we enter fight week. Volk is such an inspiration. Islam is a dominant champion I believe the first fight was the best fight of 2023. 
10 days  short notice up a weight class for Volk. A completely different fight for Islam as he prepped for a rematch with Charles Oliveira. The big question is if Volks cardio can be dialed in for a 5 round war, if anyone is the man to do it its Alexander "The Great" Volkanovski. I have high hopes for a great fight but, we can never sleep on the ground game of Islam. 
And for the co main being contested at 185 pounds, we have an amazing matchup. Kamaru Usman former welterweight champion also stepping in on short notice is  slated to fight Khamzat Chimaev. As he prepares for a matchup with the undefeated Khamzat Chiamaev he will be fighting at 185 pounds for the first time. A matchup of two excellent wrestlers will be very interesting, and we could see a stand up war. 
Hope everyone enjoys this great event.

Anything can happen, my brotha. Before the second fight between Alexa and Valentina, I thought it was impossible that Alexa could KO/TKO Valentina, and look what she almost did...

you guys remember all those fighters making complaints that when they came to Abu Dhabi they were all put in this hotel that was right next to some race track, and none of these people could get any rest at all? I wonder if that's all still the same and people have to put up with that ******** during fight week.

Damn I'm more excited for this version of the card than I was for the original. Costa vs Chimaev didn't really move the needle in my opinion. But if Chimaev beats Usman? That's the beginning of a brutal title reign right there.

Elliot is a very consistent fighter, he beats fighter who arenā€™t very good, but lose to all the talented fighters he fights, heā€™s a good gatekeeper because he very consistent, If Mokeav donā€™t beat Elliot he need to stay at the lower level of flyweights  to gain experience, but I think Mokeav is going to win because you can see talent
