UFC 305 On ESPN+ PPV [8/17 at 10 pm ET] “African Born, African Bred” (Israel Adesanya/Dricus Du Plessis)

[profound]

For fukk SAKE what was I thinking putting this man in my parlay!!

as u know i was leaning du plessis, until fight week.

izzys weakeast performances have came against guys he had no incentive to destroy.

but look at paulo costa. look at rob whitaker, they had some kind of oceania thing going. derek brunson who talked big. alex pereira is alex pereira, but he still put on before the early stoppage and had no trouble performing in the rematch.

i would take crying izzy over bored izzy every time.

r1 +900
r2 +1200

i already booked them.

styles make fights and this broer fights nothing like strickland who ran into the worst version of Izzy we'll probs ever see.

I will be shocked if he doesn't get made to look foolish in there.

Izzy a weirdo but kill the boer :

I hate that I'm in a position where I have to root for Izzy, but middleweight is full of cacs I need to see catch L’s. That being said I m predicting Izzy loses a split decision.

I like Pereira, but Roundtree? Why not Ankalaev?

Think they're hoping for an Izzy win and assuming Rountree will catch an L so they run it back with Izzy and Pereira.

UFC is basically a carnie show.


Roundtree just had to back out a fight for popping (wasn't his fault, but still happened) then gets a title shot for it

Izzy at LHW is nuts. They really want JJ Alex

Its really tough to know what Jon is capable of against a non-Cyril Gane opponent at heavyweight. But if Jon beats Stipe, which I expect and then gets to wrestle Perreira and win, I think the UFC would be ecstatic. I think perreira is much more winnable fight than Aspinall.

Izzy is a bona fide weirdo, cringey, possibly and even at times (the way he defended racist ass Joe Rogan).

I think all the racist bullying he endured as a teen in NZ fukked with his head. He had no other Black kids around him, so he still had to find ways to gain White acceptance just to have some friends.

But all that aside, no way can I root against him vs DDP - the descendant of White colonizers - who claims he's the first "real African" champ.

It's make or break for Izzy...win or lose he better go all out and try to end that man.

100% Facts. UFC is WWE in terms of title shots...they threw merit in the bushes a long time ago.

Hoping Izzy breaks this Rhodesian Afrikaner Boer cracker chin

ankaleav has a lot of wins, and in four years does not have 2 good fights in a row.

he was in purgatory for that pile of shyt he offered vs no-knees thiago santos, when he served up that toilet bowl he called the jan blachowicz fight. i bet he's still being punished for that.

khalil is an entertainer and kept pushing for this. if colby covington can get dana privilege title fights off the back of nothing, khalil is more than deserving.

We just need to come to terms with the fact that the UFC is not a meritocracy, it never was, but they used to make an effort to pretend. They get to hand pick people to do the rankings for them and then they ignore them.

This card is very ass btw. Dont care about any of these shyts outside the title fight
