UFC 253: Saturday 9PM - Izzy... AND STILL
Posted on 9/22/20 at 12:33 pm

The week is upon us.
These two have the ability to bring more fans to UFC this week, hopefully they don't disappoint.
The path to this fight sucking is very narrow imo. But I probably said the same thing about Ngannou vs Lewis
Main Card-PPV
Prelims- ESPN2

Posting this image since it has the lines. Wanting to parlay this card this weekend. Anyone have any feelings?

Not familiar with everyone on this card, which fights are hidden gems?

Blows my mind that these two guys weigh the same thing
I know adesanya gives up a few inches to costa, but damn man, that dude is huge
My picks for the main card:
Adesanya
Blachowicz
France
Dawodu
No clue for the women’s matchup

Allegedly in November

I expect Reyes v. Blachowicz to also be a good fight.

I think adesanya is too much for costa. I think his striking is too crisp and his reach is going to be a huge advantage. costa is very good but I think adesanya is going to be the jon jones of his division.
Not sure why but I think blachowicz wins his match.

Somehow I'm pulling for Costa simply because it'd be sick to have a champion in that division who's a legit 'eraser'. Adesanya has way more experience though and that goes a long way.

Going to be interesting to see just how willing Costa is going to be to move forward and if he does, what adesanya will do about it
I’m excited. Every PPV for the rest of this year is going to be electric

Costa walked through Romero's strikes all fight long. Adesanya took one left from Romero and fought like a bitch for the rest of the fight. Adesanya is extremely skilled and has a good chance to win the fight but Costa has a granite chin and will definitely be in his face as long as the fight goes

My mind is telling me Adesanya but my heart wants to pick Costa. This might be the most pumped I’ve ever been for a main event. Both guys put on a show every time out. Reyes-Blachowicz is a sneaky great fight also.

I somehow think that Adesanya is going to fight this fight just like he fought Romero.
He can't bang with those guys but he had the length and reach to stay away from them the whole fight and accumulate enough small strikes to win the fight.
Costa at fight time is going to come in at 215-ish. Adesanya probably about 200.
I hope it's an exciting fight, but I have my reservations after the Yoel bout. If Adesanya gets in trouble, he's got too many physical gifts against shorter fighters to stay away and not engage.

If Costa attacks and attacks I think he can easily knock him out. But yeah, he can also get countered to hell.
I still don't understand what Romero was doing in his fight with Adesanya. Even when it was painfully obvious he was losing the fight in the 5th round, he still refused to attack.
Maybe it was a cardio thing and he didn't want to burn himself out, I don't know. I hope Costa charges in and delivers a KO.

Yeah I was watching that fight again yesterday. A full two minutes went by before Romero did anything.

I think that's the problem with Adesanya. He has that huge reach advantage so you have to pick and choose your spots to try and get inside, but he makes it so difficult to even get inside and punishes if you choose wrong.
Should be one hell of a fight with their two contrasting styles. A lot of good fighters in the prelims and early prelims

I was highly impressed with Reyes against Bones. He took it to Bones more than anyone has in a long time . I love bones as a fighter, ( he’s a shite person ) but Reyes won me over.
