I'm rooting for Whittaker, but Yoel is also extremely cool, so that would be fine.

OTOH put me on suicide watch if Colby wins

Colby spent a round getting decisively outstruck by a gassing elderly jiu jitsu man who doesn't know what a punch is.

I'd clumsily compare him to Jeremy Stephens. Someone who isn't perfect on a technical level, but who you simply cannot gently caress up in front of, because he will fly across the octagon and kill you

I think there's a decent value in Yoel as a 2:1 underdog coming off an insane KO victory while Whittaker has been off forever and just had his knees repaired.

yoel and whittaker are both good, but bobby knuckles is such a charmer that i cant help but pull for him. yoel is also cool though.

Yoel is a steroid golem that when his roids run out it will be as if he drank from the wrong Holy Grail.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.

dana had to go shopping for a man maybe bad enough to lose to cmpunk and he annihilated cm punk instantly. but that's ok. gall's pretty drat good, and everyone agrees that while he was outmatched, he wasn't in any way embarrassed despite being old and bad.

now he is fighting someone genuinely nowhere near ufc calibre. an opponent so bad that he is five years and an obvious gift for combat sports away from being a ufc fighter. to lose here would be humiliating. he is a significant underdog on the books.

punk - the tit - is praying. and if he's not, he loving should be.

just a quick question: is megan anderson loving retarded? she fights at cyborg weight, and ducked cyborg to take a tune up fight against holly holm? holm is loving awful, but she is like a thousand times better than the best opponent megan anderson has beaten, and 3 years ago megan anderson lost to cindy dandois. hmm. cindy dandois... 'why do i know that name yet can't remember her?' you ask... well it's because she is no poo poo the worst fighter to have ever stepped into the octagon including the 0-1 cmpunk opponent. here's her highlight reel. https://streamable.com/lgp0y

A true renaissance man


The worst fighter ever in the UFC is that girl who came in with something like a 9-0 (9 kos) record and then went 0-3 UFC and then like 0-4 invicta, and then it turned out that her 9 wins were all in that sketchy California promotion that pays literal homeless people to get beaten up to pad fighters' records.

Found her. Alexis "Sneaky Zebra" Dufresne.

Came into the UFC 5-0 with 5 stoppages. Her opponents combined records for second, third, and fourth fights was 0-1, and then she got a UFC contract with a win over Kim Couture. Her fight against Marion Reneau was one of those fights where Joe Rogan is saying "Oh my god, ref please stop it now why is this still going the ref needs to stop it, this girl doesn't even know how to defend a punch."



https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/fighters/54500-alexis-dufresne

Her debut was supposed to be against Amanda Nunes :stonk:

Looks like she went to bellator after the UFC, and somehow managed to get Marloes Conen to tap, which surprises me, because normally corpses can't tap.

I'm not sure Rampage, TKZ, Crocop, Shogun, or any the others gave themselves the nickname, and their nickname isn't literally Chick Magnet Punk.

Anytime someone has given themselves a nickname they've received appropriate ridicule. Look at how much poo poo we talked about Rory changing his or Beastin 25/8 finally taking a break.

The worst part about Colby is that on top of being an awful Chael impersonator his fights are unbearably boring unless K-1 Maia is giving him a striking lesson.

https://streamable.com/5bsk6

My impossible dream for this fight is that RDA traps Colby on the fence and unloads a 5000 punch combination but instead of it being Robbie Lawler with his years of defensive craft protecting him from the worst of it, it's Colby Covington eating a zillion RDA punches.
