Absolutely. I assume Hunt/Lewis is the main but it's hardly like they're going to need all five rounds.

If you can't beat Joseph Benavidez you won't beat Mighty Mouse. I don't know why they're giving this kind of fight to Nguyen but maybe he was the only one who would accept the fight (featherweight is shook).

yeah, its still a decent jump up for him. hope he does well, but other than stopping a new prospects rise whats in it for joey b?

My assumption would be that they hoped that fight would have played out more like Browne vs Lewis, wherein Lewis savagely KOs a guy within 2 rounds.

Instead it was four brutally boring rounds until Lewis eventually got the guy on the ground and savagely knocked him out.

I don't know how to feel about Hunt/Lewis. I don't like the idea of possibly watching Hunt die in the octagon.
Like I'm sure it'll be a rad fight with a sweet finish but I'm concerned.

I'm tired of watching hunt lose!! Kick his rear end mark!! I just watched Teymur/Vannata and now I would like to see Teymur fight Yair, and then maybe the winner could fight barboza.

I should rewatch it. It's in a bad spot in my memory because watching live I was worried that Cain was going to literally die - his head was bobbling around so much and he was starting to do the drunken cross step.

I guess someone left a hot mic near Conor's coattails:

Artem Lobov posted:

“Now that Conor is gone from the division, I’m the hardest hitter of the division by a long shot.”

quote:

“I’ll tell you one thing about Jose Aldo, if I was in his position I would have never accepted that belt,” Lobov told Submission Radio. “What? So they took the belt from the guy that knocked him out in 13 seconds. They took it off that guy and they handed him that belt and he just takes it and he’s happy and smiling on his face?

“Like, what kind of pussy do you have to be to take that? No way in hell would I ever accept that belt. I would say, ‘give me that guy again. I want to fight him, and if he’s not in the division anymore, well then f—k that, I don’t want that belt. Let the other two fight for the belt and then I’ll fight the winner and I’ll earn that belt’. Because now he’s holding a belt that Conor got off him in 13 seconds and he’ll never be able to get rid of that stain,” he continued.

“Even if he beats now Max Holloway, he’ll still be holding that same belt. So how are you as a man, as a fighter that respects himself, accept that belt? I would have never done it in my life. I don’t know why he f—king done it.”
