A ton of changes leading into International Fight Week had the war room over at UFC working overtime to make sure 303 stood up to the hype, and while the main card looked different, it certainly didn't disappoint Kamaru and Henry.
Alex Pereira continued to prove to the world that...he is THAT GUY. But Kamaru and Henry have words for the Light Heavyweight division contenders, who seem to continuously fall into a striking trap with one of the most lethal left hands in the cage. What do you do with a man who is 3 years into a UFC career with wins over 5 former champions, two division belts and objectively the best 12-fight run in history? Henry has one more LH opponent in mind for Alex before he makes the jump to Heavyweight, and the guys discuss how Pereira would fair in the division above.
Is Dan Ige a certified badass? His DM's say so. Not many people on the planet plead for the green light with just FOUR HOURS to prepare. Diego's performance calls for a bit of debate between the guys. One thing was easy to agree on - the experienced 50k Ige deserves respect for his showing, especially for the 3rd round effort. And a wise reminder from the Nigerian Nightmare: Styles. Make. Fights.
To that point, Ian Machado Garry's fight IQ showed up on Saturday night as he gets the UD over MVP in what was an extremely even statistical score minus one thing: 7+ minutes of control for Machado. Top control wins fights (even when it doesn't win fans) and Ian Garry didn't leave room for the judges, or Kamaru and Henry, to debate. Also, it caught the attention of Shavkat Rakhmonov. Despite the loss, Michael Venom Page showed his confidence and comfortability in the octagon continues to evolve.
A good ol' Underdog Fantasy Sports competition closes the recap - Kamaru and Henry are ready to up the stakes on their next round of picks...whose got thoughts on what they should bet? 🙋♂️🙋♂️
