@hyrm I also think santos gets ko'd not enough reach. But I do think walker or reyes could beat him.
By the way jon jones said he wants to fight adesanya eventually! How great would that be.

Walker have some chin problem!
I'm not high on Adesanya. He did not look good agaitns Silva. He may beat Gastelum but at the moment he face a complete fighter like Whitaker, Romero or Souza he will get is ass kick

Today, Saturday March 2, the UFC plays host to UFC 235 and the return of Jon Jones, most likely the greatest fighter on the planet currently competing. He faces off against massive underdog Anthony Smith. The fighters have all made weight and all that's left it to make the walk.
It's been a while since we've had two title fights on one card. But this event is stacked from top to bottom with compelling match-ups.

Who's worth watching?
There are some great fights on UFC 235, including two title fights. Jon Jones takes on Anthony Smith and Welterweight King Tyron Woodley faces off against Kamaru Usman. Those are both compelling match-ups for their own reasons (although Jones is an overwhelming favourite).
But on the undercard there are some must-see bouts.
Zabit Magomedsharipov is a rising star and faces his first big test in Jeremy Stephens, a knockout artist and a big leap in competition for Zabit.

Cody Garbrandt is coming off two loses to bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw. It'll be interesting to see how he responds against Pedro Munhoz.
But perhaps the most intriguing match-up is Ben Askren vs. Robbie Lawler. World-class wrestler Ben Askren makes his long awaited UFC debut against Robbie Lawler, a fighter with top-notch takedown defence well known for beating wrestlers on the feet.
Should be a humdinger.
