I think pereira is a lil taller and should have the same reach this one is gonna be tough to call. pereira has the mental advantage over already beating Izzy, but Izzy has more experience in mma I think I'll go with Izzy, but I won't be surprised if Alex can secure a KO victory Izzy been practicing dodging tennis balls for a reason lol

Pereira has a good chance to win and god know how much i would love to see the cringy motherfucker obliterated into another dimension but the cunt is probably gonna kick at range for 5 round and win.

Zhang is probably gonna murder esparza.

Poirier vs chandler, i root for chandler but dustin is gonna win, probably a 2 round ko.

Has Pereira ever did 5 rounds ? I don't know if he has cardio like Stylebender has.

Esparza won against a self defeating Rose so she hasn't been tested yet, we may be surprised. I hope we are.

Chandler is really an awesome matchup maybe we will get a new Lawler vs. MacDonald II, It has that same 110% energy to both fighters.

Periera has a a huge change and i have a bad feeling.. Alex also has it easier in regards to this fight. If he wins he's champ and if he loses it's no biggie as well. There's far more on the line for Izzy and yeah. High stakes.

He did in kick boxing but it wasn't at his best, he has worse cardio than gynosanya, he is also 3 years older and more muscly, so more oxygen wasted.

Zhang is on another planet in the stand up and she is not scared to scrap and get damaged, the opposite of esparza in her last fight, zhang wrestling against joanna was great (and joanna has great td defence) and she fucking lift an out of shape 270-280 pound ngannou in the same way i lift a mars candybar, if she can do that without a fucking sweat, she can probably throw esparza in the 3 seat row from inside the cage, if carla manage to win then mma makes no fucking sense.

Dustin vs chandler is locked for best fight of the night unless it ends in like 30 sec with a flash ko.

OMG Spann. That was a nasty KO. Spann is a specimen. Where to for Reyes from here? He gave JJ a great fight, but he is 0-4 in the last 4 and suffered 3 KOs.

maybe dom should try 185 I remember a pic where Pereira looked bigger than him when they were training for this event

Edit: my final picks are poirier, zhang and adesanya. unless chandler does some wrestling I think Poirier has his number in the stand-up. only esparza fight I saw was the one with Rose for the title and I don't really remember it, but I know how brutal Zhang can be especially in striking so I'm picking her and already said Adesanya because he has more octagon experience he knows how to win, but still Pereira can catch him with one left hook and good night he has five rounds not too sure how good Pereira's gas tank is either.

That was difficult to watch Frankie Edgar's career end like that. Fighter careers, especially for the dudes that reach the top, rarely end in storybook fashion though. MMA is a brutal and unforgiving sport. That was a slick knee that caught Edgar, but I think he would have survived or avoided it when he was younger. Crazy to think I was barely out of high school when I first saw him fight in the UFC.

Here's a clip of Edgar knocking out Gray Maynard. This was after Edgar got fucking clobbered earlier in the fight and nearly stopped. Incredible that he fought at lightweight, considering how small he looks at 135. Fucking legend.
