I’m sad for Usman. He was outmatched and he’s out of his prime. Too tough for his own good.

Seeing him so rocked that he thought the head kick was an eye poke was sad.

He got badly hurt at least 6 or so times.

Didn’t need the post fight interview, just want him to be okay.

@luckyfunmma I mean bro he got rocked like 8 times he obviously wasn’t all there nor would he have remembered all of that fight.

Happy to see DDP come through.

Things I underestimated
1. Size difference. DDP looked HUGE
2. Speed difference.
3. The adjustments DDP made in the past 10 months
4. The biggest thing. DDPs gameplan. The stance switches, popping and getting out of range, the sprawls. Unreal

10/12 today on a tough card. Really happy with the picks.

[UFCtalk @UFCstuf]

Fatima Kline is unbelievable.

Depending on Weili, Kline could be one fight away from a title shot.

And I'd favor her to beat both fighting in the strawweight title fight in August.

6/7 on the prelims with FOUR of those 6 closing as underdogs. Straight ball knowledge.

Only 3/6 methods right but getting all 4 underdogs to win right is killer. Let’s keep the momentum going.

Bisping commentary may be worse than Rogan

MAIN CARD PICKS TODAY

Usman DEC 🐶 (DDP is one of my favorite fighters and it’s so hard to pick against him, but have to take bias out of this)
CLD KO
Hooper SUB 😳
Tommy Guns KO (very 50/50, would bet Montes because of the odds)
Kline DEC

[UFCtalk @UFCstuf]

Wanted to give this Tommy guns fight its own tweet. I was ready to pick him, and I still will (I think), but the line has moved so much. Alberto Montes is worth a sprinkle at +150. My picks are not betting advice, and if I were a betting man, I would take Montes.

Pretty conflicted on DDP Usman. Locked in on the rest of the main card though.

Pt 3: The only top guy at 170 I could see Max beating is JDM, but JDM won’t fight again in 2026 and Max JDM is a fight on no one’s radar.

Max seems to be chasing money at this point begging for a trilogy with a finished Conor. It’s weird to see his career turn like this.

[UFCtalk @UFCstuf]

Pt 2: Max fighting down at lightweight vs a guy like Ruffy is all risk no reward.

There’s no real contender fight at 155 for Max besides maybe Paddy, but I doubt the UFC goes that direction.

At 170, Max wants no business with the contenders. The top 5 at 170 beat Max.

[UFCtalk @UFCstuf]

Pt1: And yes, I purposely left out Max. What do you do with him?

I think lightweight should be:
Arman Gaethje
Paddy Charles

Ilia is going to be out until 2027 and those fights make sense.

I see a lot of people matchmaking Max and Ruffy. Why would Max take that?
