I think Whittaker has the potential to make Khamzat look really bad. Chimaev has gassed out against welterweights and now he’s fighting a real middleweight with cardio for days and a nightmare style matchup for him. I don’t see Khamzat starching him early and I think the takedown will be pretty hard for him. Maybe I’ll look stupid but I think +170 is a steal.

Re: UFC 303

You can no longer buy the ppv through espn. They’ve taken down adds for it as well. The Conor vs Eddie and Conor vs Nate 2 videos uploaded by ufc have also been taken down

It sounds like this fight is off, probably due to Conor doing something stupid. That card was one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time too.

 

[AA484]

Yeah, that card was dogshit

These are definitely better fights. Pereira can draw but I’m not sure he will draw anything with this short notice.

Looking at the upcoming MMA schedule and wow, the summer is a wasteland. I hope they have some shit saved up for the fall.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Yeah it sucks because summer is traditionally the best time for big MMA fights since that’s when other sports are on hiatus. At least we have the euros this summer.
