Have the UFC hired @John Matrix or something? These are a step up from whoever usually does their posters.

They’re lovely aren’t they.  If only eh? Although assuming they don’t get the final call on design,  I can’t imagine there’s a more depressing job for a graphic designer than current UFC posters.  Current WWE t-shirt designer maybe?

Looking forward to Zhang absolutely sparking Joanna 

i literally have no opinion on this fight, Zhang looked like a monster against Andrade but thats literally all ive seen of her, if a fast win like that doesn't happen would it be wrong to think a proven 5 round fighter like Joanna may just pick her apart across the rounds?

It would appear so from what I’m reading online, social media etc. Apparently Joanna has zero chance and not only is Zhang going to win, she’ll do it with ease. If you think otherwise, even if you just think it’ll be competitive, you’re crazy. 

I mean, I’m a fan of Zhang. She’s likeable and she’s clearly a handful in the cage. But the jury is still kind of out on her at the top level for me. Might sound mad considering she’s the champion but we’ve seen the grand total of 42 seconds of her against top opposition. And Andrade came right at her. It was a huge win, a dazzling finish and a tremendous achievement becoming the first Chinese UFC champ. But it was 42 seconds and Andrade played right into her hands. Before that, Zhang’s best win was a decision over Tecia Torres. Zhang clearly won but it wasn’t the best of fights.

I’m not even saying Joanna wins. I’m not sure one way or the other. But I really don’t get why it seems to be considered mental to think Zhang might have a tougher time blitzing Joanna than she did Andrade. If Tecia Torres went 15 minutes with Zhang in March 2019, I don’t think it’s outrageous to think Joanna Jedrzejczyk can go 25 with her in March 2020.

People used to bang on about Ronda Rousey being overhyped but based on one fight, which lasted 42 seconds, everyone’s on the Zhangwagon and acting like she’s unbeatable. It’s a bit weird. Again, I really like her and I really rate her as a fighter. But Christ. And the worst thing is, you just know when she does lose a fight the same divs will be rushing to her Twitter and Instagram to tell her where she went wrong and what she needs to change.

The dude who does the Sherdog preview is picking Joanna to win. 

Yeah I think I saw that. It seems to be more fans who are fully drinking the Kool Aid.

These pillocks are a good example of what I’m talking about.

260-F1674-229-F-4-DE4-976-E-07-B31-ECBC0

3-B5-B4-BF2-8-CB1-4078-8-DBF-7-AB3-FE879

“Couldn’t even beat Rose”. Like it’s easy. Or like he could.

Also, the second tweet there, how is Zhang’s decision win over Torres any more impressive than Joanna’s decision win over Waterson? Not like Torres is the “future GOAT” either, is it?

I know it’s Twitter and it’s par for the course for twats to be twats on there. It’s just a quick example of the type of goofiness I’m seeing. Just seems like everyone has hopped on the hype train with Zhang big time and there really isn’t that much to base it on yet.

I've been pretty busy/distracted this past while and completely forgot that this was on this weekend. I had a day off today thankfully and decided to watch embedded and Countdown and now I'm well ready for this one. Fingers crossed Yoel Romero makes weight tomorrow before he goes and sparks Adesanya, unlike his wee bro Deiveson.

Be interesting to see what kind of atmosphere/audience this generates Saturday. John Morgan said in his podcast that Vegas casino's are operating at 20% this week due to the coronovirus.

Romero taking his sweet time weighing in. 

You keeping up with it as well? Joanna made weight at least so that title fight is on. Think it’s only Romero left to weigh in. If he misses weight, I think he wins by brutal KO tomorrow night. It’s typical.
