Yeah I'm still not seeing this "Zabit is the greatest" stuff. Jeremy won that 3rd round pretty cleanly and if this was a 5 rounder might have actually won the fight as he seems really tired

Yeah, Zabit doesn't have the cardio everyone says he does, he's looked sluggish when he goes to the third.

I think it's time to re-book that Zabit v Yair fight

Fuck yeah Zabit.

Ortega? I just can't see that. Zabit may be just as dangerous with submissions and he is a far more fluid striker. I think that's the match to make actually.

He has no power, Ortega KO'd Edgar. If it gets into a striking match I think Ortega TKO's him by R3. Only reason Stephens couldn't is because of the reach.

I'm hoping Woodly wants to make a point and beats the shit out of Usman.

Woodley has like a tenth of the gas tank of Usman but 10 times the power and explosiveness. Usman is not a real KO or sub threat either. I think it would make tactical sense for Woodley to try and get a quick finish.

Why would you be scared to meet any of these guys, they aren't going to kick your arse for no reason.

Who gives these guys their nickname? They are straight up trash.

Oh man that is a whole discussion. Traditionally it has been the camp that does. Coaches and team-mates start calling people by nicknames and then you fight under that. It then started moving into promotional nicknames. Like Floyd changing his nick name from Pretty Boy Floyd to Money Mayweather. Then you have Rory, changing his nickname every few fights and always to something really cringy.

Lol I didn't see the weigh ins. Usman gave Woodley the ocular patdown.

I'm really worried about Usman grinding out a boring decision win if this goes past R3 and Woodley can't put him away.

That said, Woodley was able to nearly knock out Wonderboy and basically knocked out Till, so I just don't see how Usman is able to avoid that bomb. And Woodley's big moment against Wonderboy was in R5, so his gas tank is good enough to still have power even in the end.

If Usman is actually able to wrestle Woodley, I would be super impressed. I would not even be mad if the fight is boring, just watching it would be kind of amazing.

If Usman is actually able to wrestle Woodley and take him down, he deserves to win. Woodley has the best TDD of anyone in the sport.

I'm hoping Woodley is in not give a fuck mode and just comes out aggressive as hell. When he does that he's a monster

Always good to remember how cool Cody is


As much as Cody is a dumbass, apparently this was like an inside joke he has running with an uncle of his and it just landed like a rock on the show thanks to the editing and no one knowing it was supposed to be a joke.

If Cody wins, first thing he should say on the mic is "HANGING WITH THE BOIZZZZZZ"
