    I can't pick against Pereira. Such a fun fighter to watch, will be devastated when he does eventually get taken out. Not familiar with Fiziev again but should be cracker.

      Damn this is a rough sport to follow sometimes, seems like as soon as I get invested in a great fighter then they are due to fall.

      Ruffy was awesome, I get the hype for sure now.

      Lemos fight was boring.

      Feel for Turner, one of the first fights I saw in ufc was his loss to Rociano, apparently he's retiring? Other bloke looks the goods though, not even gonna attempt spelling his name but he was awesome at Noche.

      Gaethje fight was just awesome. Hookers hand might have done him a favour, reports of Gaethje's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

      Headline wasn't as fluid but damn tense. Hoping close enough that a rematch is on the cards. At least Pereira wasn't knocked out so still hoping my boy has the ability to get that belt back.

        Spot on for all of that

        Pereira looked dumbfounded at times because he’s battered previous opponents

          Yeah pretty disappointing main event in terms of action.

          Surely a rematch does take place and Pereira will have to go out there looking to win it. Suspect it could be a similar result though

                  Yeah it should happen around 11:15am NZT

                  I’m surprised by the odds - Ulberg 1.32 v Jan 3.1

                  Ulberg should be the favourite but I didn’t expect him to be backed that heavily

                      Very very close fight. Maybe Jan edged it?

                        Nope Ulberg got it. I had no idea how to score those rounds.. all were very close

                        I’m sure there will be a title rematch at the top of the division. Ulberg needs another fight before getting shot IMO

                        Hopefully Edward’s wins the main event

                          Some good fights there

                          Edwards comprehensively beaten

                              Seemed damn close but Ulberg had more output. Clearly didnt want to take too many risks against Jan.

                              Maybe ulberg vs jiri title fight playoff to then fight winner of Pereira/Ankalaev rematch/trilogy?

                                Very good card tomorrow. Here's my guesses

                                Volkanovski v Lopes
                                Chandler v Pimblett
                                Rodríguez v Pitbull
                                Mitchell v Silva
                                Krylov v Reyes

                                Not certain about any of these

                                Lopes is extremely dangerous and it's fair to question if Volk can can back from those two big KO's. Volk to control the distance and frustrate Lopes

                                As everyone has mentioned Pimblett does get hit often and Chandler has the power. I'm picking an early knock out but would pick Pimblett if he gets through the first round

                                Hard to judge how good Pitbull is. Yair is quality plus he's young and with a significant height and reach advantage.

                                Mitchell seems comfortable being the villain this week.

                                Krylov is coming off decent results and I am picking against Reyes chin

                                  Will go opposite to you

                                  All could go either way

                                  Great card on paper

                                      I'm picking Silva over Mitchell, otherwise agree with your picks. Hell of a card.

                                        That was impressive by Pimblett. He looked huge in there. Chandler slowed up after badly after that wrestling exchange in round 1

                                        Crazy that Chandler's UFC record is now 2 wins 5 losses

                                          That was a huge effort by Volk.

                                          Lopes will be champ one day
