The guy has a full body triangle locked in. There's no way he's flipping him, and once they hit the mat, he'll probably find an even easier path to a submission.

I honestly don't get how anyone could call Maia boring. Watching his ground game is like watching pure art unfold in the cage. If he’s had any real struggles throughout his career, it’s really just been against guys with elite-level takedown defense. I should also mention that, in my book, that decision between Griffin and Alves was a total robbery. Griffin clearly dominated the first and third rounds, but everyone knows how those judges in the States can sometimes lean toward the hometown hero.

DJ is just fundamentally better than Cejudo in every single aspect of the game. It’s honestly such a damn shame he’s too small to make weight in bantamweight, because this flyweight division he's stuck in feels way too light for him.

I’ve had a massive distaste for Cody and the whole Alpha Male crew ever since that Ultimate Fighter season back when TJ and Cody were coaching. The guy carries himself like some spoiled brat, but if you look closer, that entire rivalry is really just fueled by the messy personal history between TJ and Faber. Honestly, I’m just hoping he gets knocked out again so he finally shuts his mouth.

Johnson is taking this one easily; honestly, there isn't anyone in his division who can even touch him right now, whereas if you look at TJ and Cody, I’d say it’s a complete toss-up. As for Swanson, he’s basically staring down a crossroads here. If he drops this fight, that’s three straight losses on his record, and he might as well just hang it up and forget about ever chasing a title again.
