Can't tell if I like Illia or not yet, definitely fun to watch but he absolutely owned Holloway in their one on one online faceoff.

Pantoja defending against Kai Asukura on debut which is crazy

Sterling evloev and Smith vs Reyes as well. Pretty stacked card.

They definitely don't like Belal to give him that match up straight away lol... I see it as a 50-50 though.

Its sad Nick Diaz is on the card, they should have just gave him a tomato can to beat.
Belal defies expectations every time he fights, but Shavkat is as good a grappler as him, plus a superior striker and far bigger. It looks terrible on paper for Belal, but we shall see.

Belal is boring fight style wise but he isn't to bad on the mic.

Hope Rob gets the W over Chimaev next week. First real MW test for Chimaev. Beat Usman at MW by MD but didn't cover himself with glory from memory.

Looks like it is 5 rounds with is good for Rob if it goes into a 4th or 5th. The last time they were booked it was the ME which would have been a 5 rounder.
Chimaev will gas without the body strikes. Rob makes it past the 2.5 minute mark of round 2 and he gets the KO shortly after. Easier said than done though.
I think Topuria is an out and out star. Max might avoid him for a couple of rounds, but he will definitely have to take some big shots. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Topuria threaten with some takedowns/submissions attempts - but I think he ultimately gets the KO.
It's great to have an event that has more than just 1 or 2 big fights on it again. Though the top 2 here stand out big time, because they are massive. I haven't looked forward to two matchups like this in a long time.
I think we can chalk the DDP fight down to a bad night for Rob, as he's basically been amazing since losing the title to Izzy (including the rematch). It's the perfect test for Khamzat, who looked irresistible in the first round against Usman before fading hard. He seems to have had a good run of health and has been steering clear of Till, so should be at his best. Safe money is with Whittaker, but I'm going back and forth.
I agree that Topuria is a genuine star, and possibly the most well-rounded fighter in the game right now. Common sense says he'll have to stop Max - who hasn't been finished since he 20, and never TKO'd - but with his superior grappling and the 5-round effort he showed against Emmett, he might just have the edge over the distance.

The real question is after looking so good at 155 did max make a bad call going back down again. Obviously not gonna turn down a title shot but I can't see how he will be better at 145 than that last 155 performance.
