[mirko>anyone]

Nice! even some of the fights you missed off weren't bad either, OSP, James Vick, Manny etc.

Not at all. I got tired of typing. Lazy me.

Another recent good one was....

- Robert Whittaker vs. Darren Till
- Maurício Rua vs. Antônio Rogério Nogueira III
- Fabrício Werdum vs. Alexander Gustafsson
- Khamzat Chimaev vs. Rhys McKee

Also had Francisco Trinaldo, Carla Esparza, Alex Oliveira.

The UFC has really given us some great stuff this year. Not every card has been amazing but even ones that are somewhat lacking are filled with good match ups which are just as good as name bouts a lot of the time.

But I’m not here to nitpick @Substance Abuse thread. It genuinely made me curious because I, too, couldn’t recall one this stacked.

Chimaev fighting Edwards really peaks my interest. He’s the dark horse of the division and in my mind, just by the eye test, Edwards has improved a great deal since the usman fight. I genuinely think he’s the best WW in the world but he didn’t fight for a year and now he has to reassert himself. Chimaev looks as promising a prospect since...well, ever.

Edwards is legit. It's a huge step up for Khamzat. It'll tell you where he is. Even if he loses it isn't the end of the world. I'm sure he'll learn a lot from it.

Khamzat truly appears to be amazing. Fast twitch muscle, KO power, and a grappling phenom. Let’s not kid ourselves, the dude is gonna show some vulnerabilities eventually. Maybe he gasses or he’s got some holes in his stand up.

Edwards is literally the hardest fight for him imo.

Someone is gonna have to lose.

damn man. I actually can’t think of a fight I’m more curious/unsure about.

One thing is for certain. If Chimaev demolishes Edwards, the roof will be blown off this place.

That was a really good card when Mighty Mouse set the title defense record. That was really Bobby Knuckles coming out party. People didn't expect him to beat Jacare, and then he totally blasted him, earning the interim title shot.

Don't know, but it's really good.

Mendes Vs Elkins
Frances Carmont Vs Lorenz Larkin
Myles Jury Vs Ramsay Nijem

Masvidal Vs Means
Dillashaw Vs Hugo Viana
Antony Njoukani Vs Roger Bowling
Yoel Vs Clifford Starks
