UFC 276 RE-CAP, Champs stay Champs

          Are we just gonna admit that Israel Adesanya may be the best middleweight of all time? I don't care if the guy didn't finish Cannonier, it wasn't flashy, he didn't get the finish but he dominated him. The rest of the card was I'd say....good. I personally don't think there was anything too memorable about the card from top to bottom but it was overall a damn good night of fights. Now let's break it down



Main Event- Israel Adesanya(C) defeats Jared Cannonier VIA UD
      Izzy is awesome, he just is. The undertaker walkout was just fucking amazing and his performance versus Cannonier wasn't dazzling but it was clinical and absolutely dominate. Maybe Izzy isn't the greatest middleweight ever but he's real fucking close. He talks the talk and he goes out and walks the walk. Like I said Izzy may not be getting every knock out but his fights aren't even fucking close. I'm the kind of guy who is all for a dominate champ, whether it be by finishes or just a 5 round domination. The next defense here for Izzy is clear and it's Alex Pereira, his former kickboxing foe who he's currently 0-2 against.

CO-MAIN- Alex Volkanovski(C) defeats Max Holloway VIA UD
      I do not care and I'll say it, Alex Volkanovski is the best featherweight of all time. I know, I know, "but what about Aldo".....I don't give a shit I said what I said. He put the absolute stamp on the Holloway trilogy, that was 5 rounds and Alexander The Great made it look real easy. To do that, to Max Holloway who is an absolute savage was a literal work of art. What Volkanovski has done in this division is just unreal.  This guys has beaten the likes of Mendes, Aldo, Holloway(3 times), Brian Ortega, Korean Zombie. I know he's talked about going up to 155lbs but I still think there is some interesting fights for him at 145lbs.

Alex Pereira defeats Sean Strickland VIA KO
      Holy shut was this a huge bullet dodged by the UFC. Let's be honest Sean Strickland is an absolute dog, but some of this shit this guy says? Can You imagine him being or even fighting for a title? Alex Pereira did the UFC's dirty work with an absolute violent KO of Strickland. Just a perfectly timed counter right hand by Pereira followed by a stiff jab to a downed Strickland to finish the deal.

Bryan Barberena defeats Robbie Lawler VIA TKO
      Now this was an absolute war but good lord how many of these does Lawler have left in him? In the first round Barberena threw 190 strikes! Yeah 190! Lawler looked good for the majority of the fight but late in Round 2, Lawler looked gassed and Barberena had him staggered and pummeled him for the TKO finish.

Sean O'Malley v's Pedro Munhoz ends in a No Contest
      Nothing, there was nothing in this fight that got me very excited. O'Malley wasn't really "dominate" in the fight and Munhoz didn't show much either to be perfectly honest. I guess they should run in back after Munhoz had his cornea scratched and couldn't see out of his eye which was visibly fucked up. So....yeah, I guess run it back?
