And Chandler isn't a 170 guy, he's 155 not cutting weight so not a lot different to Volk on fight night...
Won't be at much of a size disadvantage compared to Leon or a proper 170 guy

Apparently UFC are putting feelers out for a McGregor replacement again this morning

Yeah I forgot how much of a rat he is. The most vague reports ever so he can't be wrong.

Islam v Tsarukyan should be next, Islam hasn’t defended enough at 155 for a champ champ fight yet. Two defences against the 145 champ, one of which was on 12 days notice for Volk and a defence against Dustin who legit is a stylistic dream for Islam.
Leon would beat him anyhow 155-170 is a big jump.

Lots of carry-on that Khamzat is out of his fight against Rob. Fingers crossed it's all bs. Khamzat out would really suck.

Absolutely ridiculous Chimaev pulls out again. He's had 4 fights in 4 years and only scraped by Usman on what 3 days notice? Holland on short notice up a weight at the time too. Pathetic
Was a great fight on paper, best for months ahead (big call as there's some good ones), and Rob was $3 odds so I'm very annoyed haha

I'm spewing, what a great fight it could have been. Haven't heard of this Aliskerov but he's a multiple world combat sambo champ, at 31 probably in his prime too, dangerous fight for Whittaker with not much upside (other than getting paid i guess)

He's a problem. He slept Phil Hawes badly when they fought and did the same to Warrley Alves not too long ago. Against Hawes he got a little over excited and fell over trying to throw too hard, but against Alves he looked like a killer. I haven't seen much of his groundwater yet, but with the sambo background I expect ots at least solid. His striking looks very good and he packs plenty of power. A real dangerous opponent to take on for Rob as his profile is so low.
I wonder if Whittaker's team made that point to try and get some more money out of the UFC? He'd deserve it, maybe that was part of the deal anyway.

Khamzat come into the UFC wanting to be extremely active.. let this sink in..
Khamzat was in the UFC about 18 months before Alex Pereira but Pereira is a 2 division champ while Khamzat hasn't done shit.

He's been ruined by Covid, doubt we'll ever see the best of him now.
Aliskerov is a very dangerous fight for Rob. Gains next to nothing with a win, and risking it against a guy with a strong all-round skill set and very much on the rise. To bring it all together, his only loss is via an uppercut from hell from Khamzat.
I haven't seen the news today but I was reading the Hill/Ulberg fight might also be in jeopardy. Poatan vs Jiri II is a great fight, but the event is an absolute mess now.

Whats the difference between Bellator/PFL and the last few UFC Fight Nights? Other than marketing, id argue the smaller promotions cards are actually better. Absolute garbage the last couple UFC

By the look of his fat gut he was already very hungry.

I think I'm concerned for what might become of Perry's mental health in the lead up to this fight
