We need 20 years post-Rousey to see what the crop looks like when they grew up with it. I want my daughter kicking heads off by 7

I knew Giga was going to have a rough fight against Kattar. Great fight though.

Someone asked Dana at the last post fight press conference if rumors about Dustin Poirier v Nate Diaz on the Masvidal v Covington card are true. I got the impression it wasn't total bullshit.

Excited to see Nurmagomedov, but I think he's likely going to destroy Stamann. I think Stamann's biggest win of late was Song? I know Dvalishvili smoked him pretty recently.

Moreno is always fun to watch and Figueirdo hits hard for a manlet, so it should be a good one.

I still think Gane is going to dismantle Francis with his legs, but we'll see what happens..

I was on the Gane wagon but Ngannou looked good in warmups this week. I got cold feet.

That said, the guy barely took this fight and is even threatening to leave UFC. That's not the heart of a champion. Smart money is on Gane.

i say its gane time, francis looks dissheveled in interviews like he's out to prove something, while gane is just chilling on the beach
