This. Masvidal has been living off that Askren KO, hasn’t done shite since unless you want to count that stupid arse “bmf” fight with diaz. I hope to god he dosent win so he dosent get that undeserving title shot, the guy isn’t even ranked in the top 10.

I watched his whole interview on Rogan’s show. He hates Covington with a passion and vows he will beat him before his time in the ufc is up, that shite ain’t happening He also voiced his frustration at the ufc giving him so many wrestlers knowing that’s his weakness. They got on the subject of politics and he seems like a MAGA guy though which is cool

I think pereira wins again, he just has Izzy’s number. But it just feels like he’s a place holder until he fights somebody with a ground game then he’s fricked

Masvidal is delusional

Coby completely rag-dolled his arse 50-44, Usman stomped him out twice, etc.. yet here he is thinking that he deserves a title shot after three consecutive losses

Same can be said about colby. He is 2-2 in his last 4 with his wins against masvidal and woodley. No big draws at 170 so the ufc is gonna milk what they have since khamzat cant make weight. If khamzat was able to make 170 he would probably be fighting for the belt against leon.

Yeah and belal likely would beat leon, colby, or masvidal. I think he beats shavkat also.

Not sure why but im expecting something crazy if masvidal wins. Like a colby vs masvidal interim because leon doesnt want to fight colby. On the international fight week card in july of course. It just makes sense yo have those two fight again with the drama assuming masvidal wins. Whole situation seems strange with colby with dana guaranteeing him the next title shot. Dana never does that. He got some bs in the works.

Maybe the behind the scenes Colby is telling Dana “give me a TS and I’ll drop the charges vs Jorge”.

To be fair to Colby, both losses were to Usman. Whom, at the time, many considered the best active P4P fighter.
Not saying Colby is amazing, but comparing him to Masvidal right now isn’t apples to apples.

I could see that but he and Colby would be a good matchup.

Shavkat is scary good. IMO, only match for him at 170 is Khamzat and vice versa. That is assuming Khamzat could make weight.

Since I'm poor and following the UFC costs so much, I've pulled back a lot, but I love MMA.

My respect for Adesanya went up a lot after his fight with Gastelum - that was a legit war. And I admired his effort going up to 205. I like the guy. But, I don't know what his chances are tonight. I didn't get to see the first one.

I miss the old days when the UFC didn't have so many events. In the old days there would have been weeks of talk and analysis on this title fight. But now, there are just too many events and I don't think these big fights get enough hype and analysis leading up to them. But, it's a business, so I understand they need to make money and volume is how you do it.

Evening, gentlemen.
