MAIN CARD
Israel Adesanya vs. Jan Blachowicz TITLE FIGHT
Amanda Nunes vs. Megan Anderson TITLE FIGHT
Petr Yan vs. Aljamain Sterling TITLE FIGHT
Islam Makhachev vs. Drew Dober
Thiago Santos vs. Aleksandar Rakic
UNDERCARD
Dominick Cruz vs. Casey Kenney
Song Yadong vs. Kyler Phillips
Joseph Benavidez vs. Askar Askarov
Livinha Souza vs. Amanda Lemos
Sean Brady vs. Jake Matthews
Tim Elliott vs. Jordan Espinosa
Kai Kara France vs. Rogerio Bontorin
Carlos Ulberg vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu
Uros Medic vs. Aalon Cruz
Trevin Jones vs. Mario Bautista

Stacked card a lot of good fighters on this one. I think jan is getting disrespected bigtime. I think he walks thru adesanya. Will be interested to see it play out. Nunes should roll Anderson and the yan sterling fight is another great one.

Hope this one doesn’t fall apart

Not on this card, but Khamzat Chimaev kinda announced he was retiring from MMA on his Instagram about an hour ago.

This is getting overshadowed a bit. How do we see this one playing out

Tough one to pick. I’ll have to go Yan. Dude is just mean. Can sterling handle the aggression that yan brings? I like both guys I just think yan is a little nastier and can see him breaking sterling.

If Adesanya wins, he becomes the biggest star in the ufc. And yes, Jon Jones will be as jealous as prom queen runner up.

honestly if he wins, they should forget about Jon Jones vs Miocic/Ngannou and do a Jon Jones vs Izzy fight. It'll be huge for the sport.
Jon Jones will frick him up, but the hype leading up to the fight will be great for UFC. And his legacy will be fine, because there's no shame in losing to bones.

Wait, what???

He was supposed to fight like 2 weeks ago. He also fought like 4 times last summer it feels like.

He was a rising star.

What is going on?

I give Izzy props for going up but I wonder if he would have been favorite over santos or Reyes.

Looking at the early lines.

Amanda is -1125 . So you're telling me that Megan has no chance?

Izzy said he walked around at 203 when he was fighting 185. Interested to see him perform at 205, 20lbs is a big gap between weight classes.

He's not retiring. The UFC flew him out to Vegas for medical treatment recently. The doctors put him on Prednisone and he tried to train while on it. He got frustrated after only being able to go a round or so and posted that. Dana clarified it earlier today I believe.

He had a while ago and has had suffered complications from it. I think he had it prior to one of the fights with Edwards that got cancelled.

Agree with your comments about Jan. Izzy basically just won't have to cut for this fight, so he should be really fresh, but he's going to weight a legit 205 against a guy that walks around at 225. The match up is definitely interesting. Alot of things could happen.

I would be surprised if jan walks around at 225. I would think 230 or more the man is thick.
