Will never happen, but I would love to see Conor vs Gaethje.

I'd watch it and be super pumped obviously, but it doesn't excite me as much as a lot of other matchups for either guy. Feel like it would end up being pretty one-sided whichever way it goes. Either Conor sleeps Gaethje with a left hand, or Gaethje's pressure forces Conor to crumble.

I’d definitely watch even if it’ll be 1 sided. I think pressuring Conor could play into his hands but there is definitely a chance Gaethje wins. I wish we could see it but if we think Ferguson wont fight unless its for a belt, Conor will be even more difficult

If you want to see Askren get wrecked in grappling, you might want to watch this.

Ha yeah, Ben has flat out said he hasn't wrestled like legit style wrestling in a decade so it's going to be a murder. Burroughs is arguably the GOAT.

Has anyone else noticed something interesting about Nikita Krylov?

He has 30 professional fights but thats not the interesting part...

ZERO of his fights have gone to a decision. 11 KOs and 19 submissions either winning or losing. I've never seen anything like that before. 

Didn't know that specifically, but not surprising to me. Guy's a finish or get finished kind of fighter. Seems to have a definite weakness in submission defense - 5 of his 6 losses are by sub. Funny because he also has a lot of sub victories. But I guess a lot of guys drill offensive grappling a lot but forget about defense.

This fight should be fun. OSP is another "kill or be killed" guy. Feel like he pulls off a spectacular finish, or gets slept himself. Think this is either a big KO for Krylov or a sub for OSP, similar to their first fight.

236 undercard looks weak as heck but the PPV isn't half bad. Rountree is always good for a KO either giving or receiving, Jouban isn't half bad either

I mean I don't really care how weak the card is if it's got these two fights in the main and co-main. There are a few somewhat interesting fights earlier on though. Jalin Turner's an interesting prospect. Reis vs Pantoja should be a great fight. Millender vs Muhammad and Montel Jackson vs Soukamthath are interesting. Good enough for a prelim card imo

No doubt the top 2 are ones I’m stoked for just saying they didn’t put many other names on it. Of course great fights still happen with lesser guys and I’ll be watching the card nonetheless
