Max about to gas because of all that running he’s doing. We saw the same thing with Adesanya when he fought Strickland. Spent the whole fight basically jogging backwards while also having to actually fight and it gassed him in no time. Looks like Griffin is about to do the same thing to himself for this final round.

This was his Welterweight debut(down from Middleweight) and I’m interested in seeing how he deals with now being in such a wrestler heavy division; coming from a striker heavy division like Middleweight. I mean yeah he’s going to bigger than most of his opponents but if he can’t wrestle it’s over. Sean Brady is going to grind him to dust. Shavkat Rhakmonov? Would grind Curtis to dust. Joaquin Buckley, Belal, Usman? They’d all make Curtis pay for that sluggish pace. It will be interesting to see though. You just never know with MMA.

Tafa has dropped down from Heavyweight to Light Heavyweight. Wonder if the strength difference will be apparent, if any.

Edit: Tafa is getting muscled

Good heavyweight debut by Petrino. He efficiently did what he was supposed to do

Landwehr always puts on a show, and Charriere didn’t back down.

Really fun fight

Am I a casual because I’d rather keep playing UFC 4 than watch Calvin Kattar fight
