I thought Gastellum had him in the 4th. I'm very surprised he didn't finish him off.

Izzy needs to work on his defense a bit.

And all that Jon Jones talk. Lmaooo I beg make e just be for bants. He doesn't want that smoke at all
Hahahaha. I swear. Jon Jones will rape his ass. The guy couldn't even finish the 44-year-old spider who has been out of practice for about 2 years. He needs to calm down and learn how to wrestle before even talking about Jones.

Let him test himself against Joel Romero and Whitaker first. If he can beat Yoel Romero with his head still attached to his shoulders then I will root for him against Jones.

Jones is a big problem for anyone.

UFC 239 ?

Thoughts ...
Ngannou, meh I don't see him ever getting back to the pre-Miocic level. Shame because he was what tuned me back into MMA. His uppercut KO of Overeem was chilling.
Still he wins this one. Decision.

Masvidal is going to kill Askren. Herb Dean won't be there this time(jk).
KO 2nd round.

I don't like calling Jon Jones' fights. Dude is just too annoying.

And Holly. No chance against Nunes.
KO 1st round.

Jeez this would be the dopest card I've seen in recent memory

Bones vs Thiago Santos

Ngannou vs Cigano!!!! FFS

And then Rockhold fighting too

I think the winner between Cigano and Ngannou should get a shot at DC. Btw where the fuq is Miocic? You don't just take an L and go into hiding
Miocic wants a rematch with DC or nothing.

Unfortunately Ngannou is still at his pre-Miocic levels. The problem was that Miocic is just a better fighter all round. Stipe has better cardio and better ground game and a better chin. Ngannou just relies on his brute knock out power. Unfortunately that is not any good against a technical fighter like Stipe. Even the Overeem guy u talked about, Stipe handled him easily.

The only way Masvidal is going to beat Askren is if Askren is unable to get a hold of him throughout the whole fight. Unfortunately I think Askren will find that fight easier than against Robbie Lawler. I doubt Masvidal's take down defence is as good as that of Lawler. So we are likely to see another win by Askren. But if Masvidal is smart and Askren charges him blindly like he did against Lawler then Masvidal can use it to his advantage.

Jones Jones wins again. It might be harder this time but he will still win. He will utilize his ground game more.

Unfortunately I agree with u about Holm. I have been rooting for her since she beat Ronda but mhen have I been disappointed too many times.

Lool Anderson Silva is a tough nigga though. For you to finish am you go try. For me Izzy and Jones is a bad mismatch

I want Izzy to keep dominating in Middleweight. He should fight the pullout merchant Whittaker first. 'New Zealand' vs Australia things

Jon Jones should go to Heavyweight and fight the likes of Cigano and Ngannou. I don't know what else he wants to prove at LH

Bruce is definitely a trip ...I've heard that it's bad luck to fist bump him . But some new fighters do it .

He's also a playable character in the game UFC 3 .

How do you guys see this Israel Adesanya and Jon Jones back and forth ?

Whittaker has been talking a lot about Izzy too recently.

I've heard Adesanya say he's not ready to fight Whittaker by September .

Yoel also tweeted at stylebender too .

What an exciting time to be an MMA fan .

Yea!! I've seen an interview of Whittaker down playing and under estimating Izzy (well that's the sport though... It also has more of mental prep). Most fighters have underestimated Izzy because he looks more slender in his category...but Izzy has been able to prove his doubters wrong. Whittaker Izzy will be a fight to watch to be honest.... It will go down to the wire.

My brother Whittaker is no joke . Even Izzy knows this . He has to be really prepared to fight Whittaker . Gastellum really showed that Izzy can be touched . Imagine fighting Whittaker or Romero .

Can't wait for this fight ...I think Jorge will tag askren and then we will see what happens next .

Masvidal has stated that the UFC promised him a title shot if he wins .

Askren would have to submit him to win . Masvidal has never been finished before. Askren does not have knockout power.

Ngannou relies heavily on his power. If you can avoid his fists of stone in the first two rounds your chances of survival increases drastically. He struggles with good grapplers, it explains why Cain went for a takedown that early in their fight but I don't know anyone in the division that can survive a clean hit from the Predator

However the Heavyweight division is such a crapshoot. One mistake is all it really takes

Izzy is my guy but Jones will beat he and Whittaker on the same night. I don't know what spliff all these Middleweights are smoking that makes them think they can survive Jones in an octagon.

Izzy is due some rest. He's had 6 fights in 14 months. Whittaker has had no fight in 10 months.

Paula Costa just made fun of Izzy about his looks during his interview after Kevin's fight.
Truth be told, I don't see Style bender beat any of those 3; Costa, Romero and White taker for now.
They all seen his weak point. He needs to doughe fighting for now and rest properly. He should not fight Whitetaker anytime soon, he needs to see him fight again so that he would know what to expect.

Lmaooo pretty rich for Jacare to troll the man that beat the man that beat him. Izzy has little to prove taking him on anyway. If he wins, critics would say Jacare was old and washed so for me it's a lose-lose.

I'd love Izzy to take on Romero though. He at least has more bodies on his résumé. Only problem is these Cubans are notorious juicers. I fear him more than the others

Whittaker is a pure striker and so for me the most straightforward opponent for Izzy. It would basically come down to who's the quicker to draw and who has the sturdier chin. I also don't think Whittaker has fought a guy as unpredictable and can improv quite like Izzy.
