Or that I wasn’t at my best. “I was looking at how I wanted things to be rather than what was the truth.” Crute adds: “And when you look back at that fight, I was going after him from the get go. “I didn’t want to accept the fact that I needed surgery. “But I can look back to that fight now and go ‘OK that was fear’. Like Crute, the Reaper disappeared for an extended period as part of a reinvention that, once again, sees him ranked among the company most dangerous fighters. “I didn’t fight the way I should’ve and Hill was the better man. “And it wasn’t like I was scared of Jamahal. “So I really had to take a step back and fix some things.” “I was letting my ego get in the way. “Entering into that fight, I was a shell,” the Aussie revealed. “And I feel it’s going to be sooner than you might think.”

Is Islam Makhachev the true No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world or will Alexander Volkanovski beat him to become "champ-champ" at UFC 284?

[Elves Brenner](https://www.mmafighting.com/fighter/6209/elves-brenner) Jimmy Crute is only 26, but I already have concerns about the injuries he’s dealt with and the damage he’s taken in his fights. Not everyone is blessed with dynamite in their hands and Porter shouldn’t be embarrassed that he can’t chuck hammers with the best of the big man division. He’s a towering welterweight, he’s comfortable fighting orthodox or southpaw (as is Della Maddelena), and he has offensive grappling in his back pocket if it comes down to it. He’s a calculating striker with power in both hands and a feel for finishes.

MMA Junkie fight analyst Dan Tom breaks down the main card of UFC 284, which features two title fights in Australia.

A massive showdown of elite pound-for-pound fighters is set for Saturday night's UFC 284 main event when featherweight champion Alexander Volanovski moves ...

Menifield can absolutely crack and is a tempting underdog pick at +160, but the safer play is to simply take the under. Yes, Makhachev is a big, strong mauler while Volkanovski is moving up a division in pursuit of greatness. Both men hit hard and can have defensive lapses that result in eating clean shots to the face. It feels a bit iffy to pick a fight between two men who have only been stopped once each -- not counting a Rodriguez loss by doctor's stoppage -- to not go the distance. That alone makes a Volkanovski moneyline bet at +320 a worthwhile play in terms of pure value. Brown has been stopped by strikes twice in his career and Della Maddalena has 11 knockouts in his 13 career wins. Tafa's 5-3 record doesn't inspire much confidence, but he's a good finisher, and being a New Zealander, isn't also dealing with the effects of travel the same way Porter will be. 2023 got off to a hot start as we went 4-1 on our picks for UFC 283. The fight will be Makhachev's first defense of the lightweight title after a dominant win over former champion Charles Oliveira at UFC 280. A massive showdown of elite pound-for-pound fighters is set for Saturday night's UFC 284 main event when featherweight champion Alexander Volanovski moves up to challenge lightweight champion Islam Makhachev for the 155-pound title. Similarly, six of 10 Octagon trips for Menifield have ended in the first round. Della Maddalena exploded onto the scene in 2022 with three first-round knockouts.

Lookboonmee went right to the takedown in the second round, and transitioned right to the back. It took about 30-seconds for Jenkins to take the back in the third round, but credit to Shainis for quickly getting back to his feet. Brener fought off of his back foot for most of the round, pawing with his jab and scoring with leg kicks. It was a pretty close round, but I’d have to give it to Young. Jenkins was controlling, but as he tried to take the back, Shainis was able to scramble out and up to his feet. The jab continued to be the foundation for Mullarkey in the third round. He was ripping punches to the head and the body, and even slipping in those leg kicks. Rodrigues hurt Ross to the body with a nasty liver kick, and then went in for the kill. Mullarkey escaped the bad position to end the match on the feet. Ross wilted from the onslaught, prompting the referee to step in and stop the fight. Then, Baghdasaryan landed with a spinning back kick right to the cup. The round ended with a blitz from Bukauskas, leaving a strong impression on the judges.
