Hum... Well... Whatever?

At least they'll pay a lot of taxes.

Even Pimblett turned down the offer to fight then so that he wouldn't be heavily taxed.

[Mr Meow]

And so completes the most obvious streamlining to a title fight purrrrhaps in ufc history.

Hopefully they book Usman vs the kid who blocked his layup in 7th grade next.

[PainDog]

So Adesanya's title officially has an end date

Pereira does not just have kickboxing wins over Adesanya he has wins over better kickboxers than Adesanya.

Unless Izzy tries grappling he is going to to lose.

With that said just about any MW with wrestling will be able to beat Pereira.

[asdfghjkl]

How much shit will izzy talk saying he is going to put on the performance of his lifetime of some shit

[Fyodor]

Expect izzy to take a page out of post Cain JDS and circle and jab-tip,like a maniac...only to go for a takedown towards the end of most rounds.Another masterfull performance....



If only fookin Gastelum hadnt gone for that takedown when he rocked izzy

[JACKnoneREACHER]

I'm a super casual, Izzy is great at UFC. This seems like a straight up kickboxing fight. These 2 have some that before, I don't see how Izzy worries pereria but I don't know much about anything. I do know Izzy didn't win by omoplata

[ThaBlackGuy]

Why is izzy the favorite?

Anyway I think it's gonna go down like page vs wandy 3. Revenge. Only it won't be a ko. he'll outpoint him.

If that happens he'll stay champ forever. Nobody else has a chance

[Mr Meow]

Izzy also weighed like 201 or something for his LHW title fight vs Jan

Alex weighed in at 219 for his last fight with Strickland. That is a big ass weight cut.

He is going to be a lot larger than Izzy come fight night. He won't have to worry about pacing himself either as Izzy damn sure is not going to press the action.

[bruins2012]

Brock Lesnar was a 1,000,000x more deserving of a title shot than Pereira.

[bruins2012]

The MW division is still the weakest division.

[Fyodor]

Much more deserving than Lober

[Mr Meow]

Much more deserving than Lober

Good point

Lober got a title shot for surviving an ass kicking from frank shamrock and beating up a gasses Frank to barely win a decision. Then losing 5 of 6 fights, drawing the other, for his title shot simply because Frank had the belt

[hawgridoh]

Hopefully they book Usman vs the kid who blocked his layup in 7th grade next.
