DDP is ready for a title shot. Guy has shocked me.

Just a horrible showing v Strickland. I think some time off is best for him as of now.

Can not believe I have this man here. But he deserves it, Strickland shut Izzy down and is now the champ of 185!

Hell of a win v Vettori. Cannonier improves with age.

Sadly the loss to DDP feels like the start of the end of Robert's time as an elite 185er.

- 19-6-1

Vettori may never win a title while Izzy is champ, but he's a proven top 5 guy in the division.

What a year for Dolidze. From unraked to establishing himself within the division. Look forward to his 2023.

What a showing for Allen v Muniz, tapping Muniz is a huge deal and Allen has shown he's a very talented MW.

Really don't know if Paulo returns to the UFC or not yet.

A loss to Strickland is more valuable than a win v Gastlelum imo. Feel for the kid for getting a tougher matchup, but he will learn a lot from this fight v Strickland.

Really tough loss to Dolidze. But shows what Jack really is. A top 15 gatekeeper.

Welcome to the top 15 Mr. Craig!

Really like what Muniz has shown from a grappling standpoint.

Chris is a known quantity in the UFC win or lose.
