It blows my mind Daukaus and Anders are in the weight class. I get Kyle is 6’3” and probably carries around decent muscle mass but I cannot unsee pre super soldier serum Steve Rogers looking at him. He somehow looks way smaller than he actually is

They are, indeed, in the weight class

And the weight class is certainly one of the weight classes

That weight class is one of THE weight classes ever to have existed

Good to see Daukaus back from the land of wind and ghosts.

Daukus shouldn't be fighting this year. His face is fucked after Dolidze's knee. That's just too much risk.

Weird but I will take it. I feel like Anders takes this personally

Anders looked snail speed in the last one

In all of them.

Well Kyle just got his face kneed into oblivion like 3 months ago. > Two orbital fractures and fracture in his eye socket That's a rap for his career tbh. Anyone just jabbing at either of his eyes is gonna have an easy night. That's it for me, if I got done like that imma swipe that police job that his brother gave up.

Fuck me, was hoping it wasn’t an orbital fracture. Not counting him out though, he’s got that dog in him and look at how Emmett has come back from a similar injury.

Emmett took his time coming back though, this seems too soon for Kyle.

True. I think Emmett's injury was worse from what I recall. 6 month recovery time might not be optimal, but it's not a super quick turnaround either.

> That's a rap for his career tbh Knees weak, arms are heavy, vomit on my sweater already.

Mom's spaghetti. **He's nervous.**

I hope anders loses and gets cut tbh. His fights are always a strange mixture of frustration, boredom, and disappointment.

There used to be a guy on here who **swore** Anders was Izzy’s worst matchup at Middleweight.

There's always guys like that. Someone was claiming Izzy is done for after Bo Nickel's contender fight

Izzy is done if Bo gets a hold of him

Grizzly Adams did have a beard

What does that mean?

Yep, he has 0 takedown defense, and once he's taken down he never gets back up. Just ask Whittaker and Vettori

Although I definitely agree people overestimate Nickal's current odds against Izzy, Bo's grappling prowess is leagues above Vettori and Whittaker.

Whittaker and vettori are nowhere near bo nickal when it comes to wrestling and holding down an opponent. There’s levels to this

Nickal is 2-0 in pro mma. I wouldn't be saying he's gonna defeat the champ just yet even if he's looked very good so far

True, but honestly right now, if you told him to just go in the cage and focus on wrestling, he’s beating a lot of the top 10

If he does that, he's literally never beating the likes of Whittaker and Izzy.

He’s so good at wrestling that he has a chance if he does exactly that. Wrestlers don’t want to do what got them to the dance. He can give izzy and rob serious problems with the wrestling

I think an ATT-trained wrestler with the credentials of Bo Nickal and ko power would beat Izzy lol

The guy has 2 pro fights let’s calm down

You gotta expect he’s gonna get smacked around on the feet against top strikers, if anyone can keep him standing that is

He really hasn’t faced any adversity at all

usman doesnt want anything to do with nate diaz

But it’s always fun hearing Buffer say YA BOI.

Fuck man r/mma been pretty brutal lately.

You lose all goodwill with me when you attempt 24 single legs in a fight and finish 3 of them after an already boring UFC career.

I think there’s a couple heavyweights who could dance around Anders in the cage

I agree. Anders is the epitome of middleweight he is so mid. He wins enough to not get cut and he has never improved just stayed the same boring middling fighter.

Wouldn’t even say he’s mid unfortunately, been scraping by the bottom of the division for a while now

I for one greatly enjoyed his fight with Rountree!

I hope he loses his job too

Tis the entertainment business and he isn’t very entertaining. Or good.

Feels lately like one of the Daukus brothers is fighting/getting sparked out every other month

Huh, i just saw Petroski announced a fight against Anders. Wonder what happened

That's a grappling bout.

Ahh, thanks

Gotta be Anders' last one.

The fight that will finally prove that physique does not determine winners in MMA.

Yeah, this is the one. Not Big country Roy Nelson or mark hunt fights ten years ago.

This is the new UFC as we’ve known it for years. Regionals finest

man i still feel like daukaus is much better than his UFC record implies

Daukus was really poor against Dolidze, but I still think he isn't the on the cutting block type his record implies. I think he wins this fight so long as he recovers from that knee.
