    Tuporia will regret not respecting Gaethje early. Ego before brains

    Did anyone here seriously believe a foreign fighter was going to beat an American fighter?

    Are you seriously implying that Topuria agreed to have his face caved in and give up his undefeated record just to throw a fight?

    A smaller ethnic fighter with power is heavily favored over a seasoned veteran who never got enough credit for his skill. I have watched this fight before.

    No, I think he is saying it is destiny for an American to win the main event

    No, I'm saying Justin wouldn't allow Topuria beat him in front of his own people. He would be super ready and he was.

    Okay, that's good! That's what I initially thought you were going for. Then I remembered, you are prone to espousing conspiracy theories.:sisi1

    I genuinely believe sharing a ring with a Brit warrior in his previous fight for the first time in his career took JC to a different level. He took so much confidence from being able to hang up at Brit Level after getting one punch slept by a volume guy in Holloway

    I really am a big believer in something being in the air too. I can't explain it but it's palpable

    Ngl I thought Topuria was gonna be the next big thing. I loved watching his boxing. But damn didn't expect he was gonna quit on the stool. Respect to both guys though.
