    I reckon Usman or Covington would beat Khabib if he was to step up but we'll never know.

    Usman said he would never fight him anyway, Covington Khabib would be a brilliant fight, Khabibs stand up has improved massively but reckon he would beat Covington.

    Khabib GSP is the fight I want to see though.

    Khabib would utterly smash Covington.

    If he took his time and built up properly no doubt in my mind he’d dominate the 170 division as well.

    His wrestling/grappling is just on a whole other level to everyone else. Usman would be his biggest challenge because of his size but Khabib would still win it IMO.

    Khabib would have major problems with Covington and Usman would dominate him.

    Probably the biggest Jones fan going but his meltdown over this is hilarious :56:

    Never even noticed this was done. Should be a cracking fight.

    Did himself proud tonight. Amazing performance for a 45 year old. Well in control until the moment he got dropped and it all unravelled.

    Hard to watch Silva fighting at that age, glad he’s finally retiring but still impressive for someone that age to still be going at it.

    Good to see Bryce Mitchell win again as well, he is starting to look like the real deal but that’s a tough as * division in the top 10. Interested to see who he fights next.

    I think it’s smart to be honest, if he stepped up and fought Jones as his first fight at 205 he’d get beat, needs a a few set up fights.

    Jan is the perfect fight for Izzy, he’s slow and old, though if the big man catches him it’s lights out.

    Jones didn’t want that rematch with Reyes.

    To me jones arguably lost the santos fight and definitely lost the reyes fight.

    Good for Adesanya to defend the Middleweight belt a few times too. Before. There’s not many fights for Jones at Heavy, he could come back down no bother.
