stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
kelvin is probably going to beat whittaker. he's hard as gently caress to knock out, doesn't hit that much softer than romero, but has like 100x the work rate.

He's also smaller in height and reach, doesn't move his head and likes to hang out in the pocket. He can't be any harder to knock out than Romero and will probably put himself in way more danger because of how he fights. Whittaker knocks him out within 2.

Perry sort of reminds me of that huge ww kickboxer who murdered a few people to death before getting ran through by Bendo and everyone simultaneously going 'oh yeah, he actually sucks' and then he loses his way out of the UFC.

feels like Kelvin is going to have the hardest time against huge MWs because he's so tiny. i think Whittaker not being a huge guy means he's already on the favorable end of matchups for the top guys for Kelvin. interesting fight

I want to see it, but I give the edge to Whittaker. Kelvin is fast compared to some 185ers, but not Whittaker. Rob is also decently evasive, which would keep Kelvin from applying his pressure game. Kelvin wouldn't get out muscled but could easily get picked apart.

Chael gives his last minute opinion on Stipe vs DC after the weigh ins

I don't like chael making a big deal out of the "40 lbs" because that's just weigh in weight. DC was definitely cutting at least 20 lbs of water weight if not more to hit 205. He's a little bit bigger because he hasn't had to diet, but he's basically the same size as he always was at heavyweight which is just slightly larger than he was at LHW but without a weight cut.

I still think that DC is going to get beat soundly, though. While I agree with him that he would have finished Ngannou if he had 20 minutes of top time, he wouldn't have had 20 minutes of top time with Francis and would have got knocked the gently caress out. DC is only heavier than Stipe because he's able to be fat.

I almost want to see Whittaker vs Weidman over Kelvin. I like Gastelum a lot, but Weidman just big brothered the gently caress out of him.

Lucky. This is the first show in quite a while I'm really stoked about now that it seems like we only lost one key fight from it. That fight was going to be rad - but the card should still be a great one.

Yeah they did the smart thing and made sure this card was stacked even without the co main. Losing the main would have been a real kick in the teeth though, luckily it seems heavyweight fights tend to not fall through as often.
