Whittaker still has fuel, looks really good against Paulo Costa who also had a good fight. As much as many people want, they cannot detract the Dricus KO win over Whittaker.

Hey if Volk wins I've more or less dug myself out of the hole I dug myself into during earlier stages of this card.

As much as I love Volk, Topuria could upset here

So many options, but Strickland/Whittaker does sound like a banger.

And what for Costa? Fluffy/Ikram. Costa/Curtis. Nassourdine/Hermannson? Robobama/Dolidze

Whittaker is always in David v Goliath fights, this one, his bouts vs Romero stands out. He's a natural 175er forced to fight at 185.

costa did better than i thought too, but i think whittaker was the better matchup for him in the top 10, since he can weight bully him. but he always delivers fun fights
