Holloway doesn’t have the sort of flash KO power he probably needs to take Volkanovski out. How much improvement could Holloway have made given the limited training time he will have had?

Hope he can do it because he’s always entertaining but head says no chance.
 
anyone else see the video of mike perry hitting that old man. he starched another guy recently too outside a club which was filmed.
 
didn't rousey lose about 20lbs in one day just to prove a point on the ultimate fighter show years ago am positive she did, now that is mental lol.
 
If we are talking about weight cutting then Rumble deserves a mention, he was the king of weight cuts :o :D

Glad it's Masvidal vs Marty too, Gilbert has been on a storm but for me, Masvidal is the more interesting fight.
 
Water and glycogen depletion plus low residue food can do crazy things to your weight. Heavy dehydration can take more than a day to get over though, but hoping the lack of the 2nd open weigh-in and more time to rehydrate/refill should mean #gamebred isn’t impaired when it’s time to actually fight.

Praying he and his team have a plan to avoid Snoozesman winning via human rucksack for 5 rounds, ideally involving plenty of violence.
 
Decent fights - nothing amazing.

Yan looks very good again - Aldo starting to show his age/time in the fight game. Yan will be hard to stop.

Volkanovski - Probably just got it for me - very close fight - could argue 3-2 either way. Guess a 3rd fight is possible.

Usman - Did what he needed to do - Nothing amazing but easily shutdown Masvidal. Would like to see that fight again with a full camp for Masvidal. Usman is nothing special - knows how to win and 10 minutes of 25 minutes spent in the clinch tells you he's not the most exciting fighter in the world.

Vanzant should stick to modeling - showed nothing in there.
 
Usman is great at putting casuals off the grappling side of MMA. Yes it’s within the rules that there’s nothing stopping him from just dominating WW by using his size and strength to hug people indefinitely and rack up points via minor shots, but it doesn’t half put you to sleep and isn’t much of an advert if you’re just tuning in to see what the sport’s about. Compare that to someone like Khabib who uses his wrestling to establish control, but then can use that to smesh smesh smesh until he either wins via TKO or it opens up a submission. Much more fun to watch. The most damage Masvidal took was from the two head-butts.

Worst fight since Izzy and Romero.
