Aaron Pico being favorite is crazy work

I really think DDP gonna win again. Suprised by the odds with this one too. Khamzat struggled with small as Gilbert Burns, barely got by Kamaru Usman, yeah he subbed Whittaker but he already had fukked up teeth....gimme the champion to retain the belt.

Khamzat said something pretty wild at the press conference. DDP heard it.
