    Even Sean Strickland despises him and called it a * move.

    Sean’s political views might be a bit off and he might be missing a few brain cells but he genuinely has a heart of gold.

    It’s no even a * move he’s just a dirty scumbag wrong yin. A skid stain human, you do not do that to anyone. That isn’t selling a fight, that’s just being the lowest piece of * possible.

    Only agree with Green there in the 3/1.

    Jiri and Do Bronx to win.

    Actually took Jiri KO/TKO, Gaethje decision and Pereira KO/TKO. 24/1

    All about opinions pal. I think Arman has the beating of Oliveira in every department. Younger, faster, better striker, better wrestler. Gaethje Holloway and the main event should both be cracking fights. Tough to call. I’m leaning Gaethje Hill.

    I didn’t like the card until this week. Thought it was quite poor for 300.

    But the matchups are really good, except the main event I think Hill has blagged his way to the title and this fight. Big holes in his game.

    I think Gaethje being more patient now and Max’s ability to take punishment takes that to the judges.

    Hill is a strange one, he lost to Paul Craig a couple of years ago. He looked properly impressive against Glover but at the end of the day Glover is old as *.

    Might actually go with you on that one with Pereira

    Gathje Max will be wild. Max has pillow fists especially at 155. The only way he wins is decision imo. Can see Gaethje chopping his legs and clocking him a few times but Max is by far the more skilled boxer and it won’t be easy. As you say, Max’s chin combined with his own lack of power could easily see it go all the way.

    Holy *.

    Max v Topuria next. Topuria looked terrified.

    Unreal performance. But I think they are overdoing him wanting to scrap at the end. Gaethje was * by that time.

    Pereira and Hill are miles apart.

    Shrugging off Herb Dean and KOing Hill with that celebration is unbelievable.

    Paul Craig might be the worst fighter on the feet in the UFC.
