      Yeah and Anthony is made for this. He's so humble and respectful, he's the perfect person to interview fighters. No ego at all, and he really is a fan of other fighters, and genuinely respects them. Anthony has one of the best broadcast voices, if he had some training on voice-over work, he has such a good American accent voice.

Jamahal is gonna have the speed advantage and that's where his win will be and Alex it's for the counter punch so we ll see who can mitigate that and win.

    People are underestimating Jamahal so terribly. The guy is a monster. They moan and downplay him and the main event in general, like he's nothing. For me this fight is ideal, perfect and absoultely deserves to be the main event. The whole card is so stacked it's beyond belief. Each and every of these fights could be the main even of the UFC card - some ppv (Gaethje vs Holloway), some Fight Night calibre. The first fight of the night, on the prelims is Garbrandt vs Figureido! You must be kidding - this is a main event calibre match on the undercard.
