Blanchfield is a monster, was one of my favorite prospects and she’s looking scary good right now.

Reyes should retire IMO. 4 losses in a row, 3 of them by vicious KO/TKO. He’s never winning the title and he’s on a obvious downward trajectory, taking massive brain damage for no reason but trash pay (relatively speaking). It’s time to look at other career options and preserve his health.

I was going to drop like $100 on Spann by KO, and I didn't. I'm really regretting that.

Still in shock honestly.

Dude just has his number even though Izzy is seemingly clearly better. If Alex didn’t have a mental edge before he sure does now.


Also, how **** big is Alex. Man’s a monster

Ha.

What does Izzy do now? There's nothing but a rematch w Pereira available. What else is he going to do, he's already beaten everyone else. He can't rematch them in 3 rders or non-title fights.

Lol. What happens if Pereira...as he likely would do, beats him again in a rematch? Izzy would just stick to fighting non-title fights? That's impossible for someone who had once been a long-reigning champ. Move up? Not likely.

Izzy was laser focused for those first many rounds. But lasting 25 minutes against a guy so big that he can bully you to the fence...and has that insane power...that's super tough.

Yea, it looks like Izzy is better, but Alex is good enough and durable and powerful eenough to keep the fight close enough to afford him many chances for his power to change the fight. Tough matchup for a guy whose gameplan is about controlling the fights with distance and precision.

I think Whittaker is gonna beat Poatan.

It’s actually good for the division because if Izzy won there was literally 0 fights for him.

Alex now beaten him on 3 different continents.

USADA has just given up? There are some juicy bods on this card. And I'm not talking Tyron Woodley's apple-bottom. That Petroski dude?

Also, highlight of the prelims was Moicano's postfight interview. Haha. "Moicano want money!"

(Remember him coming in to go 5 rds w RDA on 4 days notice? Turns out, UFC gave him no bonus cash for doing that. It was one of the most sustained beatings of all time, so punishing... and the UFC remunerated him not at all.)

UFC's new path to fighters becoming stars is them becoming so fed up with their BS that they openly advocate for themselves on the mic and gain a real following.

Frankie's team really should not have let him in there. I saw some of his training footage, he looked super shot and stiff (not to mention the slurring). Meanwhile, that dude he faced was an absolute killer. Gutierez...his lightness and agility on his feet. He was obviously going to set up a brutal KO. Movement was next level. What did Frankie's team think he was going to do? Bully that guy for 3 rds with pace??
