    Feels like you’ve been teasing me for years.

    Adesanya needs a single tune up fight at light heavyweight and he’ll give JJ a serious challenge. Jones isn’t the same fighter he was, their career curves would be overlapping at a very interesting point.

    I don’t buy that JJ is too big for him either, they are identical in terms of frame. Adesenya would naturally fill out moving up.

    Would love to see Adesanya ko Jones. And yea if he were to move up I would like to see him do it properly.

    I would like to see him have a proper go of the MW division and only move up when and if he cleans out the division.

    Any talk of him moving up just now should be nixed. Clean up the division, then in 3/4 fights time he should move up

    Definitely. Hate when a fighter wins the title and there’s instant talk of moving up.

    They need to defend the title first. I get that the UFC want to make the money fights. Adesanya v Costa sells though for me. Maybe not to the casual like Adesanya Jones would.

    Rickson Gracie's son Kron fighting Cub Swanson tonight massive step up for him. I hope he wins Kron has that super cool factor his dad had, he needs to get the fight down to the ground quickly he'd be crazy to throw hands with Cub.

    That ref was a * disgrace there. Should never be allowed to ref again.

    Gifford’s team a disgrace as well.

    Great upkick that it was, that's 3 bad KO's in a row for Vick. I don't think he should be allowed to fight again. He leaves his chin up in the air to get smashed constantly. He's also fought quite regularly. I thought after a big KO you were forced to have a longer lay off?

    Sick of him..

    Actually loved listening to him and tuned in to his fights when no really even liking MMA buy he's too much now..

    Won't be long before he get's done badly.....and it'll of been coming..

    I'm just guessing here but for how he goes on, he must be paying heavies in Dublin to watch him or leave him alone surely?

    I think Yair will probably take it, can’t see Weidman at all though
