    The odds seem off on the Adesanya fight. He's special but this is a hell of a challenge. All the other two belt champion went up 10lbs. Izzy is going up 20lbs. Plus its the smaller octagon size

    I have it as a 50/50. Genuinely no idea.

    The womens 145 division is a joke. I'll cheer for Megan but this should not be a contest

    I have Yan over Sterling. I just think Yan will catch him with something significant at some stage

    So many good fights on this card. Another tough one to pick is KKF v Bontorin. If Kara-France wins he might be one win away from a title shot.. if he loses he might drop out of the top 10

    @duluth KKF throws bombs but he's open for them too. His ground game isn't on par with alot of the fighters in his division. But I like him and he's a kiwi so I hope he does the job.

    Pretty boy needs a good showing too.

    Hopefully he'll be ok. Apparently the UFC gave Bareman 5-6 opponents and he was able to pick. The UFC is going to look after someone as marketable as Ulberg (at least initially)

    The faceoff were good today.

    Jan and Izzy were respectful. Izzy pointed out that Jan had a cut. Jan said "yeah a little bit" or words to that affect.

    Megan looks fucking enormous. She had heels on but she looks gigantic compared to Nunes. If she wins she saves the division. If she loses see you later feather weights. Also Megan's last fight on her current contract.

    Yan and Sterling face off had a bit of venom. Yan turned up in his fight gear lol. He's ready. May need to change my pick on that one.

    Jan left hook leaning back looks the punch thatll cause the most damage. He seems to get everyone with it. Izzy Caught Gastelum, Whitaker and Costa in the pocket where they all the threw similar. But they didn't have his power. Whittaker actually landed it. I think if Izzy is there in that range he'll crumble.

    In an interview Adesanya claimed he’ll probably weigh in ~193lbs

    He looked good. He suggested 193 because he thought his body would start cutting as he was keeping his routine the same (saunas etc) just without the water cut

    Ulberg no defense. Great slobber knocker type fight but Ulberg looked like an amateur defensively.

    @raznomore he did enough to be put on another card in my opinion. But his tank is very small. Fatigued in the middle of the first round

    I’m not watching the early prelims. How did Matthews look? I see he lost too

    @duluth he looked good with a double jab and quick straight right behind it. He looked quick. But Brady got it to the ground and just smothered him. Brady is so strong. Just a monster.

    Got an arm triangle against the cage and probably had it not been Brady there wouldn't have been enough squeeze in that position. But Brady is a tank and got it done.

    @duluth I think the Brazilian was too big. His arms were heavy and he couldnt get the RNC in because of the fatigue in his arms. Kai just kept fighting him off.

    What is up with so many fighters missing weight these days? Askarov in this case.
