I do like this fight but, Paulo does not deserve this fight imo. Now I’m not saying Sean is some world beater but he did beat Izzy for the title and I personally thought he beat DDP as well. Paulo’s only win since a decision over Yoel in 2019 is a decision win over Rockhold who everyone else was finishing brutally. Just my thoughts, but like I said, I do like the fight as a styles matchup. If Paulo got the win it would be huge.

Those are some generous odds.

UFC 302 will be headlined by Makhachev defending the UFC lightweight championship against Poirier.
Odds
Costa: +160
Strickland: -192
I like Costa at those odds

For a guy that almost never fights and is coming off a loss, he shouldn’t get to fight someone above him. Costa fans are delusional thinking he is anything other than a journeyman.

100% agree…He can be fun to watch for sure, but go look at his resume, he should be fighting someone 8-15
I think he beats Strickland

Jacob Malkoun, both himself and Bo Nickal have agreed to face one another at the highly-anticipated UFC 302 card on June 1.
Tough fight for Bo IMO

Jacobs last 2 fights.
He lost to Cody Brundage…
And then in his last fight , his opponent knocked himself out on Jacobs hip bone…
Either way, it’s a good test and I’m glad he’s staying active
On Friday while training I sustained an injury, I got my MRI results back this morning and unfortunately due to a torn ligament in my hand, I will no longer be able to fight on June 1. I want to apologize to the UFC, my opponent, & the best matchmaker Mick Maynard but this was not an injury I could push through. I hope for a quick return and [to] be back in the cage before summer ends. Thank you to all my fans, friends & family for the continued support [heart hands emoji] … the journey continues.”
Currently ranked No. 15 in the MMA Fighting Global Middleweight Rankings, Hernandez is on a five-fight win streak, most recently submitting Roman Kopylov with a rear-naked choke at UFC 298. There is no word on who the UFC will look to replace Hernandez with at this time.
How Whittaker beat him?
