Why does that fat, jovial journo always get the first question at pressers ?
Why does he never change his clothes either?

He gives softball questions that are really inoffensive is my guess, I'm not watching it but I bet it was such an easy to answer question.

Holy shit, Arroyo is out of his fight vs Giles (MW), and The James Krause has stepped out to save the fight. He usually fights at WW/LW and is gonna fight a guy that fights at LHW/MW. Brave motherfecker.

UFC loves their in house reporters. Its why they rounded on SAS when he dared voice an opinion that went against the hype machine

Yoel definitely won the dance off.
At 42 years old too. He is a phenomenal athlete. Even if you beat Romero, he takes a piece of you and many fighters are not the same after wars with him.

You’ve got to respect Adesanya for pushing for the fight against such a dangerous opponent.

That's why I wasn't mad he got the title fight coming off 2 losses.

I thought he beat Costa to be honest. I remember feeling surprised that the decision went against him. Costa was pretty banged up and I felt like he landed the more meaningful shots.

I think his shenanigans like the “Look over there” punch and taunts went against him in the end.

I thought Costa won the fight by a small margin, but just like Whittaker, he had to take some time off to heal after facing the beast.

I can’t remember who it was against (maybe Brandon Vera) but the last time I saw jones look down at the face off, he went out and obliterated the guy. I was thinking Reyes would pull off the upset here, but after seeing jones focus, his physique and Reyes not looking super confident, this could be a mauling by jones. It’s always easy to forget just how good he actually is because of all the controversy and cheating.

The moroccan underdog, Zalal, so far putting on a clinic on the favorite, Lingo (despite being 7-0, he didn't looked UFC level).

feck me, the two week notice fighter UFC debutant beats the hometown guy.



A lot of upsets and some questionable scoring already. It's gonna be one of those nights.
