    Just declare the division closed.

    Both of them.

    Nunes isn't getting beat, and she'll keep taking money for years if they keep offering her fights. Also dominate your opponent, then introduce them to your newborn for cuddles, that's class.

    I'm so hyped for this, this is a mountain of a challenge for Izzy, but he has all the tools to do it.

    Let's fuckin' go.

    This is either a round up for a Jan, or a draw going into Rd5. Izzy has to pull off something special here.

    A size too big for Izzy, soon as Jan gets the takedown Izzy is helpless against the weight.

    Jesus, they gave Jan the equivalent of *four* rounds. That I don't see, 2 and 3 were Izzy's for certain, 4 and 5 were clearly Jan's and 1 was a tossup.

    Jan had way more significant strikes in round 2.
    I thought 1 and 3 were definitely Izzy's.
    I guess the judges gave round one to Jan too.

    I had it the other way, Jan ate a lot of feints in R2, he was walking into Izzy at one point for shot after shot.

    Likely back to 185 for Adesanya, give him a chance to play the bigger guy and have Usman come up to challenge for two titles.

    If Izzy wants to go to LHW, he's going to have to put on some of the weight, he had more than enough speed. Gave Błachowicz a better fight than most of the 205.

    It was tight in those first rounds. However Izzy's kicks landed, almost every punch was guarded. Jan punches hit two times out of three. I guess that made the difference for the judges.

    A close fight and well deserved win for Jan.

    Israel just didn't do enough to take the belt from him, I think he could hope for a draw at best. I thought Jan would be dangerous at clinch breaks as usually but Israel negated it well. However Jan played it super smart, I was impressed. He wasn't going crazy with takedowns and made Israel guessing, which made it that more effective when he went for it.

    EDIT: The scorecards for the fight were fucking weird... The judging is mess, something needs to be done about it.

    Jan 3-2, last 2 round was huge, with those takedown, judges were correct.

    Ngannou vs Stipe is the one fight I'm excited to watch.

    Junchiro gave the third to Jan, mind boggling.

    Overall right decision on the winner, but ridiculous scoring to reach it. In closer fights that would have been costly to someone who deserved it, only to be robbed.

    Ngannou vs Stipe will be a great fight, Ortega/Volkonovski could deliver too.

    That Rose finish... Everybody is losing their shit over Rose timing it well while it had more to do with Zhang making a costly mistake. She misread a naked kick, watch her hips and how she withdraws a lead leg, she reacted to a low kick and by dodging it that way you unfortunately lean in with your head. I mean, it still stands a KO for sure but I don't think the result shows who the better fighter is.

    Oh and Usman punishing Masvidal was a piece of art, Trevor Wittman made his hands dangerous weapons. I don't understand why Masvidal got so overconfident when his head got snapped back by two jabs beforehand.
