Let me solve the problem of induction/causality:Quran says:”Allah:there is no deity worthy of worship except he”:The Neccessary life/consciousness,sustainer of life/consciousness.” Wire like neuronal structures that conduct electricity via ions/neurotransmitters in the CNS/PNS possess no attribute of thinking/life and yet that has “randomly” led to life. Consciousness/thinking is an innate idea(“Fitra”)that is distinct from carbon skeleton and yet the materialist scientist believes that chemistry turned into biology(abiogenesis) via “god of randomness”/”Emergent property”/”law of nature”. Limited/Imperfect Consciousness can only stem from Necessary Consciousness (Allah-one/indivisible/All-Loving/self-sufficient Infinite perfection)…

Lights are to bright for him, he’s emotional. That’s why on the final face off Alex stared him down and actually felt that Alex was trying to play with his emotions. Alex even said in the interview with DC that he heard he was emotional and that can maybe play a factor in the fight

Call me crazy, I think Khalil gets the upset. He just matches up weirdly and kind of inconsistently with dudes. Tbh I don't see him defending the belt, but I think he's got that element of having nothing to lose and presenting surprising improvement at each fight. That pressure of staying champ so long and losing the hunger of anything else to gain has to be touching Periera somewhat. Khalil is just strong as shit too lol. At the least he is able to touch and hurt Alex

I was in attendance. My 4th ufc event. Yes, the refs were bad and the card could’ve been better but there are no words to capture the electricity of the crowd! Alex is adding to his resume and creeping into becoming top 3 fighter in ufc history. Adding on, Kahoolawe rountree proved he’s going to be a problem for years to come, after Saturday I truly believe he will become champion in the future

[@michaelbreed7255]

Being someone that has done 4-5 cycles and knows a little about the androgenic and anabolic effects of steroids, I think Khalil (and many others) has done a cycle or 2 in his day. The physical transformation alone is shocking. But also the hair loss, the deepening of his voice, the aggression and intensity. Idk. I could be wrong. Either way, I hope he has a good showing tonight.

[@arthurargalis6805]

Very exciting ufc fight card . Its been a long time

[@RamRod333]

I think if Roundtree can use the clinch close the distance, throw combinations off the clinch and cage he can hurt Alex and finish him. He needs to make is a grimy mma fight not a kickboxing match.

[@woodnbikes]

He took Poatan further than anyone at LH so far....And kept coming even though he had hamburger face....He got his respect just by the way he was acting leading up to the fight, but even more so after!! Alex is just on another level .....Chama

[@zacharyhullender8663]

The question nobody has asked is "if worst case scenario presents and you get wobbled will you shoot the td or clinch?". I would hope Khalil would do whatever it takes to get the win if worst case scenario becomes a reality.

[@briananthony2611]

I like khalil, but I'm not sure why either him or DC is questioning why people are surprised he has a title shot. He's won 5 in a row sure, but his biggest win is Anthony Smith, who is not any good nowadays. Others go on runs twice as impressive and don't get title shots. Khalil got this shot because he doesn't have 1 takedown attempt in his ufc career and will stand with Alex, and, most likely get knocked out.

[@AlexanderSartore]

The media keeps miscontruing why we thought Khalil didn't deseve a title fight...it's because it should have been Magomed Ankalaev who would've been a stylistically different fighter to Alex Pereira and a bigger threat. Aside from him, sure Khalill could be next cuz who else are they gonna feed to Alex

[@chriskaiser1127]

I love DC and so many other commentators and their podcasts. I know they make a ton of money through sponsorships. However, gambling is a very destructive addiction being normalized. It's kinda like having coke and meth commercials in rehab centers.

Bro its MMA, in other words this is prize fighting. MMA and Boxing are with gambling in mind

[@hanoalkurdi]

Nah, the two replies to your comment are not right, your initial comment is. Promoting gambling is as dishonorable as it gets. Never promote something that you wouldn't want for your kids. I'm sure DC doesn't want his kids to gamble, even when they are eligible to do so. I say that as someone who normally likes DC more than most of the guys in this business.

[@Thiccolo]

@@hanoalkurdi As much as I can understand your sentiment, gambling is so deeply intertwined with combat sports, is that you should expect this. Even CJI and ADCC took place in Las Vegas (Fight capital and Gambling capital of the world), and had betting lines. You can say gambling is wrong and not participate in it, but don't expect literal prizefighters (who participate in the machine and gamble) to act the same way.

[@taylorskidmore2760]

Khalil seems like a good dude and his temperament is scary like he's so loose it's intimidating. I just don't see what problem he can present that Alex hasn't been dealing with for his entire career. Sure he's really strong and hits really hard. But he also likes to push forward and take offense to give offense and that style is a paint by numbers guide to getting flatlined by Alex in the first 10 minutes. It's just like when Izzy was on his streak, it took a good couple years before people really understood that his striking was levels above everybody else. Alex is going through the same thing. People are fooled if they think he's just power. He has built his style around his power, that's true. But his style is to create the right conditions to release a clean nuclear strike from orbit. Watch all of his KOs they never see the shot coming. Never
