Very eggsighted for this card. The first Cutelaba fight was hysterical. He was faking injury and the ref stopped the fight.

I'm pulling for Gaethje. Last three fights are poised for action. LET'S GO!

If Gaethje employs a similar strategy to how he fought Ferguson, Khabib will have his hands full. I'd consider throwing money on Gaethje, depending on the odds I'd be getting.

Great card across the board. Would have been electric with a packed house.

All the other ones on "Fight Island" in Abu Dabhi were on at 10-11 pm Central Time.

Really? They are 9 hours ahead of us. That had to have been rough on the fighters to get used to.

I assumed that it was for our convenience, not theirs.

But anyway, starting at 10 pm local Abu Dhabi time makes better sense.

I was thinking or speculating that ESPN might have suggested it because there was some football games on later that may have taken viewership away. Or maybe the World Series?

[jffl_commish]

This is kind of crazy if true. To be that confident and in control in that moment to make this switch? Wow.

Rewatched a ton of Khabib fights. I'm not sure anyone can beat him. Then, now, future, regardless of retirement. He's a terminator machine.
