This is a really good breakdown of Izzy using kelvins much more basic knowledge of striking against him in the last round. That stutter step Izzy does pays off like crazy. There's no doubt Kelvin is one tough son of a bitch though and would wreak havoc on a lot of the guys at 170.

kelvin's probably too tough for his own good. elbow on the ground was particularly nasty.

I feel like White's entire negotiation strategy is just announcing something that the fighter hasn't agreed to then calling them a loving pussy when they don't go along with the idea that it's something they already agreed to.

Concussions are very weird. I got accidentally kicked in the head by someone stage diving at a concert decades ago and that's exactly what it was like in the immediate aftermath. My memory was fried for about 30 minutes and everything was a jumble, then suddenly almost everything was fine again. Of course, I had the benefit of never having been in a fight in my life.

I'm a big Frankie fan, but it's got to be around the time to hang them up. Wish he would have moved to Bantamweight a few years earlier.

I wonder which guy Dana is trying to pressure into taking the fight by putting this out there. gotta be Colby I think? he was calling out Jorge a bunch, probably looking for more of a money fight than Leon

Digital Jedi

Probably Colby. Leon has asked to stay on the card. Wonderboy is still injured and won't be ready for another 3 or 4 months. I would imagine Colby being more fight ready than Jorge if they wanted the to keep the original fight night.
Chiesa is #7 but I would think Leon wants a higher rank opponent.

I could also see the Jorge/Colby fight falling apart with either wanting way more money than they want. And after Jorge got dominated by Usman I wonder how much he wants to go against another pressure/wrestler.

To be fully clear, he pulled out due to injury then immediately challenged Jeremy Stephens to a fight in the following month, which is hilarious.

What's he gonna do? Plant and swing at Hall when he's too far away while making angry faces and getting kicked and rolled at?

I could see hall in guard getting ready to pull some poo poo when stephens just elbows his brains out. Thats a possibility. It depends on which stephens we get - I feel like stephens has super bully powers and no one worse than him will ever stand a chance against him, and when he gets beaten it looks super easy for the other guy. The ultimate gate keeper. So what I'm saying here is if Hall can give off the right vibes he can probably win.

If I had to guess I'd say Jeremy would KO him. But a GNP TKO isn't off the table. I know he's on a skid but I think his power would take him through. He has really solid defensive grappling too. I think he's been subbed only once in many years.
