Just not sure for who....I'd probably take Cov at + money if anything as I think it is closer to a 50/50 fight than people think.
Usman & Colby are the same fighter pretty much, anybody who thinks they know who would win is shitting themselves.

Covington would be 100000x more entertaining as champ, so I'll say he wins with 100% certainty.

In fact, I guarantee that Covington will win every belt from welterweight to heavy weight.

Furthermore, after beating cowboy, Conor will cut to 125 and win every belt from flyweight too lightweight. He will also come out as transgender so he can will all the women's belts as well.

Then, Colby will face Conor for every single belt in the UFC. It'll be a super mega ultimate unification bout, complete with a 6 month trash talking world tour leading up to the fight. I guarantee it with my soul.

Really looking forward to this card.

Yeah I agree with this. Have a couple of recent common opponents too in RDA and Maia and maybe going to far but I feel like both their hardest opponents were their most recent fights in Woodley and Lawler and both fights were pretty similar 5 rd dominations.

Atm in the title fights tomorrow im leaning towards all the champs retaining but im usually totally wrong with my picks.

I haven't seen Jones acting just like this toward an opponent. Couldn't find odds. They aren't high enough.

Oh, - 450. LOL. This aint the guy that derails Jones.

It's not totally improbable that he could hurt Jones in the fight. Even if he does, he's 10/1 dog. You hear it?

Jon Jones is very beatable at this point in his career. His striking vs a Thiago Santos that only had one functional leg didn't look very good. His gameplan was even worse. It also seems his skillset has stagnated and he seems to be one of the few people that have stayed with a camp that has gone from being among the best in the world to being constantly marred by controversy and criticims.

Stylistically, Dominick Reyes should be a tough matchup for Jon Jones simply because he has the ability to keep this fight on the feet. The question I have is whether Reyes has the striking game to beat Jones on the feet. Reyes is not as good of a striker as Santos or Oezdemir. Jones still has the greatest advantage in MMA which is his ridiculous wingspan/reach. Jones also has as good of a chin as anyone which makes it tough for Reyes to get the KO. Although, I did find it funny that Jones said homeruns don't work at this level. I guess he's never watched Deontay Wilder box? Home run KOs are obviously way easier in 4oz gloves.

“I’m surprised Dana White is saying that if Conor beats Cerrone and I beat Tony Ferguson, there will be a rematch,” Nurmagomedov said. “I decided who I’m going to fight next… But to think he deserves the lightweight belt, while I’m champion that won’t happen.”
This is great to hear. I'd like to hear this out of Ferguson's mouth too because I think there is a good chance Tony would give McNuggets a title shot.

Tony would be pretty foolish to beat Khabib and rule out fighting Conor. I can understand for Khabib who hates Conor to make the decision to not give Conor what he wants and already has that big fight payday from their fight. In MMA terms Khabib vs Tony is without doubt a bigger fight but if Tony wins the belt then fighting Conor is a bigger payday.

Its not like there is someone else waiting in the wings that is much more deserving. His options would likely be a rematch with Khabib or fight Conor. I would agree that the right fight would be the rematch but would not think bad about Tony if he went for the easier fight and bigger payday against Conor.

Conor is the no brainer fight for Tony if he gets past Khabib.

I'd like to see Covington win, he would have so many intriguing fight options if he won. Masvidal, Khabib, possibly GSP. UFC needs a good villain these days. So many of these guys are getting so bland.

Not sure what Usman can really do next. Probably just go through the contenders at WW. Masvidal probably wouldn't even care to fight him.

There's certainly nobody less deserving of a 3rd unearned LW title shot than Conor.

I watched it with the volume down so I didn't get any commentator influence but I thought Moraes won that fight. Landed the cleaner shots, had good counters, handled Aldo's pressure well.
