I've never really liked Volkanovski so really pumped for Topuria.

First off, thanks, glad y'all liked it.

Second, the UFC is in a weird holding pattern right now where most of the fight nights are, uh, lamentable, but the PPVs scheduled for the year thus far are pretty stacked. 298 this weekend rules and UFC 299 next month has O'Malley/Chito, Poirier/Saint-Denis, Holland/MVP, Burns/Maddalena, Yan/Yadong and Gamrot/RDA on it, which also rules, and while the main event of UFC 300 is still up in the air the card is about as balls-out as the company is capable of being.

But aside from Moreno/Royval 2 + Yair/Ortega 2 next weekend, the TV cards for the next few couple months are, like, Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs Shamil Gaziev, Tai Tuivasa vs Marcin Tybura and Amanda Ribas vs Rose Namajunas. And those are the main events, so you can extrapolate what the rest of the cards are like. It's not great.

RDA is still fighting?

Let's go ilia. Looking at volk bobbing around in front of topuria for the first two rounds the thing that really struck me was how loose his defense was, feel like he was much tighter in the past. Felt like topuria would put something past him once he got the range and timing and lo and behold he did. Didn't think he'd fold him up like that. Great performance.

Haven't watched fights in years and Whitaker vs costa would have ruled years ago, wasn't surprised by the outcome but Whitaker earned that one.

Machado Garry vs Neal went kinda as I expected tbh.

Lol Mackenzie dern.

It's really funny because I think if they just cut the poo poo and stopped pushing her towards a championship they'd have an equally profitable career out of her as like fan favourite fun fighter - but it seems like she wants it too, she's just never catching up to champion standard on the feet. She's improved a lot but she just doesn't have the mindset for striking imo. That fight could have ended when she put her hands over her face.

Yoel Romero had/has the best career.

Donal Cerrone being Donalds less successful Irish cousin.

i'm not unhappy about that if it's true. i think he could beat gaethje (and if his chin is still there i think he's likely to) but i think it would cost him whatever longevity he still has left, for the sake of a stupid bullshit belt. he should fight topuria instead.

I think gaethje would ruin him.
