I think a lot of low/mid pay grade fighters are just saying yes to anything right now, with the quickness the UFC is putting together cards it might be beneficial to just get more fights in right now

Sure, and Kattar is a brawler. Which is why I want to see him get more shots against top-5 opponents before he expires. And I’m a big fan of Ige, as well, it’s just that there’s a perceivable talent gap between them imo. At the very least this fight will be a violent one.

If Ige wants to make a show of his standup again I think Kattar will be too good. Ige is good on the ground though and if he takes it there I think he wins. Should be Barboza though, I thought that decision went the wrong way.

Kattar is a great boxer and has some of the best standup around. He's gonna mince Ige.

For sure. But Ige is also pretty tough so I think it’ll go all 3.

Is brawler not a good adjective for Kattar? Last two were pretty violent

Maybe the brawler connotation negates his skill? I dunno

Brawler means someone who's trying to gain offense by just throwing without picking shots or exercising a ton of tactical awareness.

His fights are violent cause he has insane power. He busted up Fishgold's face real good with some pretty innocuous seeming jabs and had that absolutely beautiful knockout of Lamas off a jab feint. I think he can look brawly sometimes cause he knows how to step in for combos but protect himself pretty well if they don't succeed.

I hope you get crushed to death by a fat guy trying to commit suicide by falling out of a window and when the paramedics answer the local bystander asking if you'll live, he just says "fat chance" and laughs.
I just rewatched Burgos vs Kattar. If you haven't in a while, do yourself a favour. One of the best featherweight matches of all time.

Brawler means someone who relies on power and chin, and whose tactics involve a willingness to eat a shot to give one. Brawlers can be technical, but they're not typically strong defensively.

Kattar is more of a technical outfighter: lots of straight shots and defensive movement to stay in the fight and set up his kill shots.
