    What do you think?
    I favour the favourites but I think the underdogs are all a legit threat. I dont think the favourites will go 3-0, someone will get upset.

    Zombie has power and size on Volk. Aljo/Yan was competitive the first time but Aljo was overloaded with nervous energy which made him inefficient, Burns is a huuuuuge step up for Khamzat and is as much of a submission threat as anyone Khamzat will ever face if it goes to the ground.

      I absolutely love Wrestlers vs BJJ matchups. I'm hoping we get some grappling and not a quick KO.

        Same but I think Khamzat will want to keep it standing and if he does it'll be tough for Burns to get him down and keep him there. Usman set the blueprint for him vs Burns, and Usman and Khamzat seem to have a lot of the same qualities on paper - size, strength, natural power, wrestling.

          Oh yeah, my friends were talking about it, especially the Korean Zombie fight. But Lubin vs Fundora is tonight and that’s honestly a can’t miss fight. Rare to get a 50/50 fight in boxing now and days.

            Man, Lubin vs Fundora just reminded me why I love boxing so much more. The will and courage to get back up on your feet after getting dropped so hard. It’s extraordinary.

              It was a great fight. Fundora is always an interesting watch.

              I only saw the last 3 fights on the UFC card because I was too tired, from what I heard it wasnt great. Khamzat/Burns was probably FOTY so far though.

                  Yeah it was rough, KZ is probably in my favourite 10-15 MMA fighters ever so I was rooting for him. Volk is insanely good though. Possibly the most skilled p4p fighter in the sport right now.

                    Khamzat/Burns was awesome.

                    Sterling/Yan was decent not amazing

                    Korean Zombie is complete trash. Stiff as a board, no upper body movement, hands down, slow was hell.

                    Utterly useless.

                      Zombie was pretty damn good once but yeah he did look terrible there, clearly nearing the end of his career. It'll be interesting to see what Volk does next. Presumably another Max fight. Yair is in the mix too, he was very competitive with Max last year. Its a shame that Giga got derailed so bad as he was one or two wins off of a potential title shot too and that would have been fun and stylistically interesting.

                      Yeah Sterling/Yan was just okay. The momentum looked like it was shifting towards Yan in the championship rounds.

                      I wish Khamzat/Burns had been a 5 rounder. Burns is a ****ing warrior.
