    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

        Gee you forget how legit Rogan is as a commentator. I mean teaching GSP?!

              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

                          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

                                        What a card!!! Every fight entertaining as all hell. I get the Pimblett love now. Fighting nerds seem unstoppable. Volk still has it but is vulnerable, agree Lopes will be champ. Will be interesting who Volk goes against next, I can't see him winning a rematch. Lopes just overawed in the early rounds, once he got some confidence he was away.

                                          I'm not convinced by the over awed angle. It's not the first time people have been surprised by AV once he's standing in front of them. The commentary was talking about Lopes needing to force the pace more but Volk's jab, feints and counter punching make entry really difficult.

                                          Check out these striking stats. Not just the totals but the accuracy difference.
