Editor's Opinion
By Nakmen
Damn, this Whittaker vs. Wallace is pure action-movie MMA, like a John Wick episode but with gloves! The "Surgeon" with his scalpel-like strikes and Wallace, the Australian tank throwing uppercuts like OSS 117 in "special ops" mode. Bivol’s gonna sweat if either of these two breaks through, but if Wallace pulls off an early KO, we’re in for a three-act action flick. Don’t miss it—stream it on DAZN, or you’ll be as out of the loop as a pirated DVD from 2005.
