I'm a little concerned with Alex making weight. He's got the largest weight cuts ever. Marvin just fought Vetorri I doubt he will be there.

Oh the calamity!
 
Still haven't caught on to that one yet
Khamzat has to be the "surprise" choice. It's a pickle if the Pereira Adesanya fight doesn't go ahead but I would be happy if Khamzat got a shot, see if the hype is warranted(has been so far). Not Costa though I cannot see Costa doing anything other than what happened last fight
 
If anybody it's probably Khamzat being big for shock value as Dana just used that same strategy to get Colby a title shot.

It's not Khamzat because of Ramadan. He's fasting

More likely Robert Whittaker
 
Wouldn’t Bobby Knuckles be the choice? He makes weight easily, and is arguable next in line for the title shot. Usually they pick someone who they know will make weight easily, which rules out Costa
 
There should be a backup since they had Colby as a secret backup. That was sketchy

Before that remember they had Pavlovich as a backup fighter for Jones vs Gane? I wonder if this is a new thing they're starting to do.
 
With the new announcement, I think the back up is gonna be Chad Gable

Izzy gonna try to say something about Frozen and get shooshed
