I hate seeing Overeem finished again.

He is in good fights either way. Would like to see him comeback.

Good win for Blaydes he should be moving up the ranks now.

Re: UFC 225: Whittaker VS Romero II

The Ngannou hype was silly because he was one dimensional and he sucks, but Blaydes is the real deal. I don't think he can beat Stipe, because he wouldn't be able to out wrestle him, but he will be champ at some point in the future once Stipe retires/loses the title.

Re: UFC 225: Whittaker VS Romero II

I think Ngannou is still the real deal. he effed up Blaydes. BUT let's be happy we're seeing some new blood... finally.

Preview & Review: UFC 225

The main card is one of the hardest to pick in a while imo.

The UFC main cards generally average 1 upset per main card. The Thompson v Till card was a recent anomaly with 4/6.

I would expect at least a few on this card. At the very least- 1 upset.

RDA is currently the underdog- him and Romero have some of the best value on the card:

Yh too much damage taken. He lived up to his nick name and butchered Reems face with those elbows.

I think Ngannou is still the real deal. he effed up Blaydes. BUT let's be happy we're seeing some new blood... finally.

Ngannou is absolute trash, and he "won" that fight due to doctor stoppage. Blaydes was wrestlef*cking him. He'd win easily in a rematch.

Re: UFC 225: Whittaker VS Romero II

Man effed ut Blaydes, overeem, and arlovski, and went 5 rounds with the greatest Heavyweight fighter of all time. watchuuu talkin' bout. Stipe looked like a truck had run him over.

Well Ngannou's hype was never about him being the complete package. Just was about his huge KO power and in that case, the hype was real. I think Blaydes may get an Ngannou rematch though tbh.

depends on the Derrick fight.

Getting bullied and humiliated for 5 rounds is one of his biggest accomplishments? Yikes.

Overeem and Arlovski have been done for a while.

He only won the Blaydes fight due to a doctor stoppage.

Ah, whatever. I gave you a bunch of accomplishments and you brush all of them off. I'm no Ngannou fan. but the man can fight and belongs in the Octagon at a high level.
