A lifetime MW vs a WW coming off a four year layoff and people aren't excited for it :mindblown: I'm completely flabbergasted.
Heh, watch this fight be fire out of nowhere. Not that I've been calling that and defending this circus, it just seems that a lot of hated big MMA matchups tend to end up great. :yeshrug:

I'm worried about GSP because of the layoff and age.
But remember, Robert Whitaker was a welterweight

Fight Night Musings:
- Luke Rockhold is still gonna have issues with cats that can get inside with good hands...If Gastelum is still stuck at 185, I wanna see that fight.

- been saying he's the best up and comer in the division, it's time for Kamaru Usman to get a high level opponent to see where he is in the division.

- Not surprised by Hall KO'ing Jotko, I'd put a soft bet on that one and flipped that into an NFL parlay. Hall is frustrating in that he has lapses, but when he's locked in and aggressive the dude can KO anybody.

- Still not buying the Perry hype until he fights someone with ringcraft and makes in-fight adjustments to win. Wasn't gonna be impressed with an Alves win let alone an undersized, short notice non-UFC fighter. I'd love a Robbie fight though for the highlight reel guaranteed to come.

- Anthony Smith is hard to gauge...dude is gonna be a solid gatekeeper but I doubt much more which is too bad because he's got a great size advantage over most opponents.

- Justin Ledet another one of those cats where I haven't been particularly impressed but he's strung some wins together and the division could use new blood, so give him a shot and let's figure out how far away he is.

Never letting this one go.


He thought about throwing it up but changed his mind. For as someone as classically handsome as he is (no homo) he is awkward as fukk at times.

I think he's one of the most well rounded MWs in the division, but the other night Gegard, Whitaker, and Romero would have probably taken him out.
