I know we don't expect much out of the UFC these days and nothing should surprise us, but this is legitimately shocking. Are they going back to WADAs 3 or 4 drug tests a year?

Usman really has a way with words: Like the saying goes 'fighters fight'. I think Chimaev takes this early and decisively. Interestingly Chimaev is a 2 to 1 favourite against the former p4p #1 but i think Usman has started his Tyron Woodley slide. His knees have been dust for years and the short notice and 185lb weight class won't help him one bit despite his protestations.

The only thing that makes me unsure is that Chimaev has been out of action for over a year and seems like he might have been taking training a little less seriously, but I could easily be getting the wrong impression there.

Yeah thats totally fair and Allstar aren't known for demanding insane gas tanks out of their fighters. Chimaev slowed down vs Burns too but I think he's going to get a flash knockdown submission against Kamaru early. So basically its the ol reliable 'if it finishes early its X, if it goes to the later rounds its Y'

And now we'll never see Jones Ngannou either. At least not in MMA

That invicta card sucked. Maybe I didn't have the context or something.

After doing an 8 or 9 figure contract with Bud Light, fighter pay should double instantly

Just my humble opinion but an elite level striker doesn’t get leg kicked into a casket

I am of this opinion too. Nate was so front leg heavy and he never adjusted
