Agreed. The chances of Alvarez humping Nate against the cage seem high.

Alvarez wouldn't be able to keep Nate against the cage, I don't think.

I like that 'yeah, TKZ looked a little rusty there, it took him a while to get going' and 'TKZ knocked Dennis Bermudez out mid-way through round one' are both true statements.

IMO Choi will ruthlessly gently caress Barao up but I'm wrong frequently.

Probably, but I'm curious how many clean punches from Choi that are an can afford to eat in order to try and do his usual thing.

i believe the better fights now are down to stuff like drug testing and better standards of athleticism, and little things like weigh in changes etc.

I think matchmaking and hiring practices have had a lot to do with it too, but I guess we'll see. I am not averse to the idea that fights might keep being real good, but it's equally possible that 2016 was a freak year and/or it was down to changes the Loretta's made that have now been undone, or are planned to be undone.

Really cool of the UFC to put one of their three Scottish fighters up against one of their ten Australian fighters and force me into a deep fit of existential confusion over who to root for.
