I kind of wonder wtf happened to Brunson there. Did he hurt himself, or was it a strike from Cannonier early in the second?

GOAT chin on this kid.

Yeah, little technique as one could expect from this fight, but no one has really just eaten Derrick Lewis unloading on them like Tuivasa has. Or put him unconscious with one shot. Short and sweet, like heavyweight fights should be.

So who wins the Main Event? I like Izzy, but I kind of want to see Whitaker knock him out. I would also be fine with the opposite, I just want to see a good fight.

I don't see this fight going any different unless Whitaker has been hiding something. The three wins post-Adesanya are all fought in the exact same style he had prior to and during that title fight. He rushes in to do hit and run shots, trying to minimize damage. Israel is just too agile for that. Now if Whitaker comes out pretending he is a NCAA champ or something, that changes things.

But on the feet, Israel all the way, as much as I love Robert.

Pretty good fights on the main card not disapointed. Close rounds but nothing to be able to take the belt

no lol

I saw 2 rounds going to whitaker

Whitaker fought an infinitely better fight (which isn't hard when you get Silva v. Griffin'd the first time), but he didn't take that fight. Just enough to make it look competitive. That said, Israel is gigantic compared to him, hard to negate that reach.

my steam was fine besides the occasional buffering

Lewis fought his best fight. Landed power shots over and over again, which is what he trains for. Big hands, big knees connected, takedowns, GNP, more than 2-3 huge knees. One of which struck Tuivasa directly in the head with full force.

He got beat by a Samoan chin. Sucks going home knowing there is nothing you could have done better. Lost the fight to genetics.
