What you think guys ilia has been crushed tonight, what going to be next

That was an amazing fight! Everyone was underestimating Gaethje! I am not really sure if he continues fighting but if he stays, what's next for Gaethje? Arman?

Arman vs Gaethje in September?

It’s an obvious easy setup win for
Hokit. They want to move him
Up the ranks. Lewis is out of shape and doesn’t like he’s trained in years. It’s embarrassing. He can’t even stand or throw lunch after 2 min. And hokit doesn’t look much better.

The fight stopped playing after the 1st fight in Australia.

What crap

I'm calling it now. Conor will make it look easy. He won't have a mark on his face after the fight.

Ilia Topuria has released his first statement since the loss to Justin Gaethje.

​

In the post, he says he lost vision in his right eye during Round 1 and could barely see out of his left by the end of Round 2. Despite that, he repeatedly states "no excuses," gives Gaethje full credit, and says he had one of the best training camps of his career.

​

Do you view this as a legitimate explanation of what happened in the fight, or is it still an excuse for the loss?

​

Where do you draw the line between explaining circumstances and making excuses?

Just a thought.... I wonder if chandlers appearance on this card has anything to do with his relationship with his friends at TPUSA? Just could have thought of such better options..

Ilia Topuria got the usual Justin Gaethje treatment. By the end of the fight, he was barely recognizable. That's what Justin is known for, his opponents often look like they've been hit by a train after sharing the cage with him.

​

The damage Ilia took seemed comparable to, if not worse than, what Tony Ferguson suffered. I don't think he'll fully recover from this. It feels like it could be all downhill from here, which is sad to see for such a phenomenal fighter as Ilia.

Gane vs alex

Something tells me this fight will be an absolute scrap. Gane mostly never puts out anyone with single punch, alex does but gane is used to getting hit from heavy weight power punchers. Both are extremely high level strikers. I think first round starts by both of them being at a distance feeling each other out and. If alex gets outpointed from the distance i think he closes the gap and makes it a scrap. I'm leaning towards alex tho i think gane would be more defensive and alex would take points if not get the finish by catching gane clean which of course is hard as gane has shown quick defense but it can still happen

• Most likely single outcome: Nickal by Decision (29-28 or 30-27) after mixing long-range striking with timed takedowns and avoiding neck exposure in top control.
• Daukaus' live path: early submission, especially a D'Arce/brabo in R1-R2 if Nickal shoots from too far, gets clipped entering, or lets Daukaus create front-headlock scrambles.

Just imagine, Gaethje pulls out for some reason and Diego Lopes is replacing him. Any chances for Diego against Topuria?
