[Headliner]

Izzy at the face off looked like the bigger fighter.
Weird.
Though I guess once Jan hydrates it could look different

[cowboyronnie]

Yeah, Izzy was 201 and will probably walk into the ring at that weight. Jan will definitely be 225. Forest Griffin used be 240 e.g.

[REDDzone]

Jan could definitely KO Izzy if he lands, but he's just sooo plodding at times. Izzy could end up putting on a clinic.

[cowboyronnie]

I had no idea this card was sodeep. There are like 5 fight night headliners beyond the three title fights. Raddich vs Santos??? Joey B is like 4 back on the prelims.

[Dupp]

Yeah this card is stacked.

3 title fights

Islam vs dober will be great

Good LHW fight.


Pre lims - when was the last time dom was in a non title fight? His last fight was against triple c and now he’s on the pre lims

Even benavidez last two fights are for the belt..




All this and my parter selfishly has her birthday tomorrow

[Susan]

Izzy 50-45

[Dupp]

Izzys gonna finish him you can bank on that

[cowboyronnie]

If Bob cant catch him w fwd movement, hard to imagine Jan can. Size dif notwithstanding.

Yan vs Aljo is a pick em. I'm just not convinced either guy is that exceptional or that this is really a title fight.

Izzy is going to stay on the outside and win rounds, not put himself into danger with Jan and get himself a second belt without any risk. Manage distance, pick em apart and call it a night.

135 is weird but Aljo running through Cory and Yan being a fairly unknown still makes this fight really interesting. Sandhagen finishing Frankie + Marlon since Aljo ran through him makes the division something fun to watch because there's a ton of dudes who haven't really faced each other and are all studs. 205 is dreadful but Rakic/Santos is going to be incredible.

[Dupp]

Speaking of which I think Cory is gonna fight dilashaw for the next shot at the belt.

[duppyy]

That fight was insane lol

[Reeko]

On paper this is the best card I've seen the UFC put on in a good while. Santos vs Rakic is a dark horse for fight of the night, if it lasts long enough lol.

[GoRapstheoriginal]

Double knock outs in the main & co main, you heard it here first!

[Dupp]

That was domination, 30-25.


DC, rogan and even the ref didn’t wasn’t any of talk by Tim getting air time

[Dupp]

That fight and finish was insane. Surviving the back mount and choke to knocking him out and then stopping the fight for herb.
