Going against the grain here as usual and saying Whittaker will get finished in one round. Not convinced after Paulo fight and still think he's getting to the end of his long and amazing career especially after that DDP loss.
What a wild card though, KG is back, Sharabutdin, Walker vs Volkan etc. Gonna be on ABC so don't look at it as just a fight night.

Despite Khamzat's performance vs Usman. I think Khamzat will take this. I think he can get Whittaker to the ground. On the feet Whittaker does get hit as well although he is the better striker. Either Khamzat via GNP or Whittaker by decision.

Khamzat is destined to fail at the highest level imo. His style is only effective when he's going all out but that only lasts for one round. After that, he becomes a shell of himself. I don't think it's something he can control either. He can probably train for hours in the gym, but as soon as he steps in the cage, every system in his body is going max speed and he just burns out.
It's not impossible that he subs Whittaker in round 1 but I think it's very unlikely. After that, he is going to shrink round by round. He will drown in the later rounds.
He has never fought a real MW either.
Whittaker/Pavlovich looking like a j00cy double.

I think Khamzat's gas tank is fine, I think he just comes way too hot out the gate and can't pace himself. He just doesn't fight that way.
Whittaker has been a bit "chinny" so I think Khamzat can easily catch him with a good shot. Probably is if Khamzat paces himself too much he plays into Whittaker's game which is kind of a point-fighting karate style with some blitzing mixed in. I think Whittaker gets caught if he tries to blitz.positivity brah crew

I don't know, I feel like every single person is underestimating how great of a fighter Gilbert Burns is. Saying "could barely stand against Burns" makes it sound like Burns is a bum who had no place fighting with Khamzat and still managed to win rd 3.
We know Usman is god tier despite his initial snoozeman fights but Burns is never afraid to bang + is a 3x world champion in BJJ. To win against Burns is no easy feat let alone Kamaru.

I can't see Khamzat hitting him with a bigger shot than that or the follow up left hook.
I think the Dricus fight made everyone (me included) think he was completely washed. It now seems like Dricus was just better than everyone thought and Whittaker had an off night.
This fight is gonna be sick tho. Anything can happen in that first round. The smart play will probably be to live bet Whittaker if he survives the first and Khamzat is doing his usual 100% all out attack thing.

Started off setting the record for the quickest consecutive win streak in UFC. Ended up fighting once a year, missing weight, pulling out, and winning bullsh*t decisions against Burns and Usman after gassing out and clearly getting rekt in rounds 2 and 3.
Biggest letdown of UFC.
Since this idiot is banned from multiple countries for being Kadyrov's lil bitch, you'll probably won't see him fight again until next year.
"I just wanna smesh" - you want nothing, bum.
Dana White looked extremely red making that announcement on Twitter. Probably just got off the call with Saudis who told him they'll cut his profits in half after this flop. No one wants to see the replacement bum. Poor guy is going to have a heart attack when Conor officially pulls out and the website is going to crash from refund demands.
