I was in the building for both of those fights and both were unreal, but I have to say that when that headkick landed from rose, it was unlike any other moment at any mma event i have been to. It was like a big frick you to china with all the covid and communist bullshite. Felt so good to scream in excitement that night in Florida.

Gaethje v. Chandler could be an insanely entertaining fight. If Chandler comes out hot like he did against Hooker it’ll be one of the most action packed, fast paced fights ever

This will get Izzy’s interest. Either nervously sweating or licking his lips.

Would love to see it, but I don't think that's going to happen.

As much as everyone wants Colby to win, including me, the Whittman/super steroid version of Usman is like a cheat code in the Welterweight division.

I don't see how anyone beats him unless they catch him in a submission on the ground. His wrestling skills have somewhat dimisnihed since he began striking more, but they're still better than most. It will be interesting to see Colby's approach. He banged with him last time and had his jaw broken, but it's still the closest anyone has come to beating Usman in years.

I want to see them wrestle and see who has the upperhand. I think that is key for colby to take some power out of usmans punches. I think they are basically the same fighter except usman has more power and with whitman has been able to learn how to use it.

But we have seen usman get rocked by colby and also rocked by burns…. So anything is possible. Colby doesnt usually throw with much power as he would rather overwhelm but he has great kicks and has done some nice spinning attacks and elbows. I think the fight needs to be dirty and in a phone booth. Usman has gotten too good at fighting theoutside and using angles.

I see Usman winning in dominant fashion, and I love Colby as a fighter and think he’s easily 2nd best in the division. Usman is so cringe and has such an awful personality that he gets overlooked, but he could easily be the GOAT if he keeps fighting the way he’s fighting. Guy is so ridiculously skilled and he just keeps looking better. His bizarre, boring way of communicating is going to stop Dana from ever pushing it on people though

I honestly thought Gilbert had the best shot of beating Usman. Actually clipped him one good time when they fought but obviously didn’t make it the distance… I still feel fast heavy hands is how you beat a guy like Usman. He’s too big and well rounded to out point, grapple, wrestle, trade blows with…

GOAT? People throw this term around loosely. Khamzat might beat his arse.
