A couple of interesting things in this interview
First White claiming that a future Adesanya vs Jones fight would happen in "a stadium in either New Zealand or Australia".
Sure White exaggerates and panders but its good to hear him saying how strong the market is in this part of the world.Then he gets asked about why Whittaker withdrew from his fight.
White gets a little choked up and then gushes about Whittaker and talks about how selfless he is.. whatever it is sounds serious. Hope his luck changes soon.

That’s hardcore seeing him talking about Whitaker like that. Interesting to see how that unfolds.
Conor tonight. Tried to sort out online buy earlier but not proving straight forward. Not happy.

Conor tonight.
My pick is a Conor win by KO in round two
Plenty of questions coming into this one though.
- Conors last win was waaaay back in Nov 2016
- It appears he's gone from a karate stance to more of a boxing stance
- He is carrying a lot more muscle. How is his stamina?

Cowboy needs to walk away. He’s got a good thing going at home and a lot of people wanting to be trained by him. He’s been badly beaten the last few times out and with little Danger(yes that’s his son’s name) only a baby, Cerrone needs to leave before CTE gets the better of him. Great ambassador for the UFC. Turned up on weight every time. Never backed away from a fight and stepped in at short notice.
McGregor looked good but I do wonder how much damage has been done cowboy in the last few fights.

Good to see the real story getting out
He was getting a lot of shit about constantly pulling out of fights and some people were convinced he had failed a drugs test etc etc

I had Reyes winning 3 out 5 rounds.
He was very good for the first 3 rounds. I gave the second round to Jones but it was extremely close. I know Reyes had the better striking stats.. however I thought Jones had the better of the exchanges in that round
I was cheering for Reyes and understand people scoring it for him. I am surprised by the number of people that think this was a robbery
The 49-46 judges card was bullshit though
How good was Jones's chin??
I hope they set up a rematch soon
-
I think Jones stole it with the takedowns for 2 of the judges. If you want t go 5 round with the champ you have to win outright. I guess he didn't do that.
I'm not sure if Reyes could fight that fight again and not be found out by Jones. I think Jones would level up as he did vs Gustafsson and up the number of kicks he'd throw.

Maybe.. there's so many questions about how a rematch would go
Is it possible for someone Reyes size to keep that pace up for longer than 3 rounds?
If he holds back does he lose more of the early rounds?
Jones might go for the take downs from round one?Jones would probably win a rematch.. however the performances against OSP, Santos and now Reyes gives the opposition more hope than the first part of his career.
Maybe the picograms have stopped pulsing
