I’m telling you, it isn't quite there yet, though maybe one day they'll surprise us all. Looking at the big picture right now, the odds of them ever breaking into the top 10 seem pretty slim...
I remember how everyone was talking about Sean before his fight with Yan. It's easy to play armchair expert now. Honestly, I used to think he had zero chance of hitting the top 5, and yet, here we are watching him do it...

It’s not happening—Topuria and Paddy aren't going to be fighting in the same division anytime soon. They’re both carving out their own paths. Honestly, I can see Topuria becoming a champion down the line; he's only 25, after all. As for Paddy, he'll definitely progress, but I don't see him ever breaking into the top 10. Even though plenty of people can't stand him, there's more to him than just being a showman. When he gets serious, you know you're in trouble; so far, he’s showing he has heart to match that beard. I also thought Rozen would never crack the top 5, yet here we are after he took down Yan. Sure, it could have gone Yan's way, but the consensus is that he caught everyone by surprise. Yan had never really been beaten up like that before this fight. Sterling handled him in a completely different way. Bottom line: don't write Paddy off just yet.
In my book, Jan - Ankalaev wasn't a robbery like everyone is claiming. Personally, I'd have a hard time scoring that one, but maybe because of that final round impression, it goes to Ankalaev.

I feel a real connection to the fight itself. Jan is being foolish here; he keeps insisting this guy should have taken the win. Maybe he's right, but man, that fight was incredibly close.

Seriously? I’d say this one is incredibly close. Maybe it was just that final round from Ankalaev that tipped the scales, but honestly, people are going to be talking about this event for a long time..

Are you kidding me? Honestly, this one feels incredibly close to me. It might just come down to how Ankalaev looked in that final round. People are going to be talking about this event for a long time...

If you ask me, Paddy lost that one 2-1 on the scorecards, but hey, whatever. Everyone seems convinced Gordon got absolutely robbed, though I saw it as an incredibly tight fight that Paddy ultimately edged out...

Topuria is going to be the champ, just like I said a long time ago...

Man, oh man. There is just no way Jiri pulls this off.

I’m actually pretty happy with this card..
