Co Main:

I think it's going to be a back and forth war.  I think Reyes takes a very close decision, but I could see Jan finishing late.  Reyes better not gas like he did vs Jones late.


Main:

I've thought for a long time Izzy KO's Costa early.  Just don't see how this doesn't end early with the way Costa goes fwd and the shots both guys will take.  I don't think this will be a war.  I think something crazy happens tonight and we most likely see Izzy flatten Costa, but Costa definitely has a shot as well.  Just ripping under bets, hoping it ends early.  

thanks for the picks, good luck on them tonight

I see the main starting relatively slow and adesanya being too quick and peppering costa in the 4th/5th rounds eventually getting a stop-but I stink at making picks and follow yours instead

Wow what an exciting fight to kickstart the night, + money win none the less. With you on the next two

Big plus money banger what can’t Royval do??

"I've thought for a long time Izzy KO's Costa early"

Great Call

Thx for the cash

Fake fight definitely was fixed

I know you guys knew addessanya was going to win ez money. But really what a terribly thrown fight. Costa took a dive, didn't throw but one punch which was a flagrant wiff where adesanya didn't even move in close quarters before getting knocked out. Also when costa had addessanya against the cage he just pushed him away. No killer instinct. Really sad Dana White wants this guy promoting wins almost all his fights are fixed. I want to see him against weed smoking Suga O'malley at least that would be entertaining

It's Adesanya, not Addessanya and you are an absolute moron if you think Costa threw the fight.  Just a complete moron.  That was being outclassed in every single aspect.  Stay out of my threads, stupid.

Ha watch the replay and listen to the announcer. There is a reason that Paul felder said he didn't deserve a rematch and didn't understand why he didn't throw punches. Use your mind and your the moron If you think addessanya actually winning all these fights on leg kicks and dancing around like hes the trix bunny

Why would you think fights being fixed in ufc is odd? It happens every year ?? and been happening for decades even in the UFC

Just kind of reminds me of Kimbo Slice and also the guy from the longest yard that tried mma lol

You can't call someone a moron when you have no idea how to use you're correctly.  He didn't throw punches because he never got in range.  It's really not rocket science.  And a rematch for a contender that gets knocked the fuckk out in 2 rounds.  Why would he ever get a rematch.  You are 100000% wrong and look really really stupid. 

Reminds you of Kimbo Slice?  There's something really wrong with you.  

Look at replay on ESPN+ proof is there. Announcers know it was fake you are only fooling your self. Grammar police? Fuck off fatty. Paulo Costa had him in range and instead of punching him he threw him against cage and placed leg love taps below head. It was a thrown fight for a piece of that ppv money only not a rematch. He went down with weakest punch I've ever seen as well. That was not knockout power. Fake fight and it's not the only UFC fake fight and Dana White knows it.

You're just flat wrong.  Outclassed.
