Interested in seeing what Kron has.

Glad Henry is back, saw a crazy stat that dudes over 35 in 170 and below are something like 2-28 over a certain time period. Wild how quickly the fall comes in the smaller weights but if there's anybody capable of bucking that trend it's that dude.

He seems very motivated to me. In the pre-fight interview he mentioned that he wants to do 3 fights. Beat Sterling, take down O'Malley, then go for 3-champ status with Volkanovski (if he wins vs Rodriguez).

I like the arc there, but I'm just not sure about CCC vs Sterling, seems to be a tough matchup for both guys. Enjoy the fights you guys.
Cheers

My god, Kron is cooked.

Think Maia might be in his corner to be his striking coach.

I wanna see greatness with Henry and see him fight volk but he’s a douche. His team messing with aljo after the weight cut was lame. Plus the dude hangs with terrorists

Aljo has 0 level charisma but he seems like a good good.

Clearest round of the fight was 5th for Henry and Cleary scored it for Aljo. Had that been scored right we have and new.


I did have it 3-2 aljo but Cleary needs to be shot.

Aljo is going to be getting crap, and being counted out in every fight, and then all of a sudden he has an all time great streak and resume', out of nowhere. lol. Wild sport.
