This fight is a rematch from UFC Macau in May. In that fight Alex won the first round but was dropped in the second, able to survive and then got hit in the nuts so bad he was fake throwing up in a bucket and couldn't continue. Another important note here is that Alex closed as the favorite in that fight but is now a decent sized underdog because of how things were going.

I picked Alex in this fight the first time and after seeing one and a half rounds, I am switching my pick. Alex has always had inconsistent cardio but as that fight went on Su just got faster, cleaner, and somehow longer. Su was definitely taking over and while I won't outright accuse Alex of leaning into the nut shot to get out of the fight, i will certainly hint at it. Su is going to be the pick here, but there is definitely a world where Alex learned enough from the first fight to make the adjustments for the second.
