I caught the Topuria and Craig fight this morning. Honestly, Topuria is built like a tank—absolute powerhouse. He managed to find his center against that guy even though it looked like he might get caught early in the first round.
A matchup between him and a fighter like Cejudo would be wild, but I’m pretty sure Topuria would just launch him straight into another galaxy.
Craig also looked like he was headed for a loss; the other guy had top position and then, out of nowhere, he pulled off an incredible submission to win. It was a masterclass move, honestly, very similar to how he choked out Ankalaev.
Most people seem to agree on the main cards. What really rubbed me the wrong way, though, was that idiotic celebration and all the posturing from the female winner while the other girl was still lying there on the canvas.
Aspinall was excellent. He almost gives off the vibe of a smaller heavyweight, but at 6'5" with that level of mobility and physicality, he's on a completely different level.
And one last thing—I actually feel for the hooker. He looked absolutely devastated after the loss. He’s a good, genuine guy, so seeing this string of losses for everyone lately is just a shame.
Those were some hell of a fights—nonstop energy, pure power, and enough momentum shifts to keep you on edge. It was intense stuff to watch, though it's a damn shame they don't usually schedule them during these hours 👍
Everyone’s obsessed with reviving this old drama, obsessing over every little interview and meltdown like it's some kind of grand spectacle. Honestly, give me something with actual substance for once. It’s like watching those morbid Brits get way too excited about the chaos.
Volkov’s got the size advantage and those longer reaches, so he could really give him a hard time with his straight punches while the other guy tries to close the gap. Plus, Volkov’s jab is actually pretty solid. Honestly, I’m not even sure what to make of this matchup yet; one guy's coming off fights against absolute scrubs while Arlovski is waiting in the wings, so if he pulls this off, it’ll be a massive leap forward for his career.
