Responding a day later, but do you see Alex getting on top of Jan? IK he trains with Glover but I'll be shocked if he even tries.

Justin Gaethje is 100% winning this fight.  That is all I know.  Whether it's through knockout or decision or some fluke injury or eye poke or whatever, Justin is getting the green W next to his name for this one.

Saying Gaethje is 100% winning this fight is pretty comical.

Kinda wish the ufc put Ferguson vs Green on the same time as Spence vs Crawford, The Ferguson fight is the only fight I don’t want to watch on this card because it sad

But the ufc put wonderboy fight at the same time as Spence vs Crawford, kinda want to watch Wonderboy fight

Is anyone else factoring in the air density in UT for this? Gaethje might have a cardio advantage this time around.

I will watch both at the same time, I just prefer to watch one thing at a time so I can enjoy the fight, and not half watch 2 fight
