far from the worst, semi bad but Texiera used the cage to pull himself up. If he doesn’t grab the cage 3 times to pull himself up then he continues to take shots from Lewis and isn’t standingThat was the worst official call I've ever seen. By the time the ref called it he was standing upright ready to go. WTF? How is that a tko?
Would you look at that. My wife and kids have not allowed me to watch until now.4 first round finishes in the first 5 fights, nice start to the card.
More Better Fighter?Treating MBF like a real title is so corny. Even the belt looks goofy.

This is huge, and a no brainer to start a Paramount subscription in 2026.
Yeah i agree. I usually sail the high seas for my ufc, but I'll pony up if it's this easy and more reasonableThis is huge, and a no brainer to start a Paramount subscription in 2026.

That's interesting. When i saw DDP this week I thought he looked huge for middleweight. If you're talking the handshake that looked like an angle thing to me. Khamzat is 6'2" DDP is 6'1". DDP looks much thicker to me.parlay that I like for saturday's UFC card:
Battle/Hooper/Asakura/Chimaev +298
Chimaev looks massive next to DDP, it could have just been the angle that I saw but man did he look like a large human
Boy howdy. Amazing.Hernandez is a monster
$156 compared to $119 at ESPN+. Includes all the PPV and Paramount stuff. I may give it a go next year.Hmm, I first thought the UFC would be available on the $80 a year Paramount+ plan but from the article that was linked, it may only be available on the more expensive package ($13 a month).
Check that. Paramount is only $119 too if you pay annually.
Too bad the only locals is CBS. No-brainer if they had all the locals.
DDP could not finish sean strickland, the first fight was won by split decision and there is a case to be made that it could have been a draw or even a strickland win.I think after seeing the face off there's definitely no size advantage for khamzat. DDP probably has an edge even.
Wife is out of town so I had a chance to watch a few khamzat fights and DDP fights again last night and honestly if DDP is a dog that's madness. Khamzat did not beat Burns, no way. Khamzat also loses to Usman if that's a 5 rounder. Whittaker already had a busted face in that fight.
DDP has that awkward style, but he times it perfectly with that supmanish punch. Super explosive, fast and powerful. He's gonna overwhelm khamzat and grind him down. Moving my prediction up a round. DDP round four TKO.
Yeah, but Strickland has cardio. And really who's finished him? He's only been finished twice in his career and one was Pereira. Dude's pure defense and a jab.DDP could not finish sean strickland, the first fight was won by split decision and there is a case to be made that it could have been a draw or even a strickland win.I think after seeing the face off there's definitely no size advantage for khamzat.

I have one minor parlay with DDP on it but I wish I had loaded up my parlays with Chimaev when he was -180

He missed weight last time, I thin, in a weight class below this one, so this is a REALLY bad look to miss again at a higher weight class.
He also missed weight a few fights ago as well.
I first heard they were going to continue at a catch weight but I assume Ruziboev must have changed his mind. I was looking forward to this fight on the under card (which in a rarity these days, I know most of the fighters on the undercard).
i mean he just moved up a division and still missed by 4 pounds, but yeah i loved his whole story on the contender series and loved the rebrand to the butcher from pooh bear but this is a bad lookBattle is commendable for previously losing over 100 pounds (story told on his TUF season).

Does need the company forced mandatory move to fight at a higher weight class.
Or move to ONE Championship so he doesn't have to cut weight since they keep their fighters near walking around weight.
They may have already done this, but if not, he and his camp may want to reach out to people like Jared Cannonier and Khalil Roundtree as I believe they have both dropped over a 100 pounds as well.i mean he just moved up a division and still missed by 4 pounds, but yeah i loved his whole story on the contender series and loved the rebrand to the butcher from pooh bear but this is a bad lookBattle is commendable for previously losing over 100 pounds (story told on his TUF season).
