Topuria v Oliveira
Pantoja v KKF
Royval v Joshua Van
Dariush v Moicano
Talbott v Lima

I can pick fights when I don’t bet

KKF didn’t really get any offence going. Stayed calm in the grappling in round 1, managed to get back to his feet a couple of times in round 2. He really needed a standup fight to have a chance and Pandora knew that

[Rembrandt]

@Duluth Nice one. Yeah Kai's fight was a hard watch. Appeared to be nowhere near Pantoja's level. Made worse after that absolute banger fight preceding it.

Tuporia is phenomanol. Surely the boos have got to stop now. Yeah he has put out eveyones favourite fighter/s but you gotta appreciate just how good he is.

Tuporia is phenomanol

His run in the last 3 fights is amazing

Volk, Hollaway, Oliveira all by KO

Volk is really hard to KO, that was the only time Max has been knocked out and Oliveira hadn't been knocked out for 8 years

[Rembrandt]

If Islam beats JDM and Tuporia beats Paddy/Armin...then the UFC should really get Jone's 30mill+ and get that superfight organised

Askren has had his double lung transplant. Looks like a different person after that weight loss

Dan Hooker's - Baddest Bitches 1min scrap tournament

[Rembrandt]

That was a super fun fight-night, great fight and finishes from the prelims on.

This in particular was special..and from a heavyweight. Can't wait to see him fight again.

[MiketheSnow]

Great fun

[Rembrandt]

Best post-fight call out too

[MiketheSnow]

Cracking card from bottom to top with some devastating finishes, a few surprise return to forms, and a fitting end to the ‘Diamond’s’ career

Some good fights just announced:

UFC 320 (Oct 4)
Ankalaev v Pereira
Dvalishvili v Sandhagen
Jiri v Rountree

UFC 321 (Oct 25)
Aspinall finally has a fight. Up against Gane

[Rembrandt]

@MiketheSnow Turned out to be a really great card, prelims awesome throughout too.
How about this dude, freakin monster

[Rembrandt]

So many good fights coming up. This weekends card not shabby at all. Still gotta get JDM v Islam booked somewhere. Looks like Ulberg has a bit of a wait on his hands before title shot. I wonder if there is a story behind that, seems odd Rountree gets the #1 contender fight first.

Getting over some niggly injuries. Angove gave an update on the CKB fighters yesterday

Good time to jump on fightpass for anyone not on it. $40 AUD for 6 months. Abu Dhabi and Noche aren't PPV so will be good lineups available live on fightpass.

Interesting fight between de Ridder and Whittaker tomorrow.

RDR has some momentum but RW should be too well rounded. Risky fight for Rob though.. taking on someone so much further down the rankings. A loss would have a huge impact on the chances of another title run

[MiketheSnow]

Huge fight for both

[MiketheSnow]

Another great card with some top notch contests and excellent finishes

[Duluth]

A close fight between RDR and RW. I agreed with two of the judges: 48-47 RDR

They were both a bit disappointing IMO. Whittaker looked classy in round 1 but never recovered after a chaotic round 2 where both fighters were hurt.

RDR needs to improve before he challenges the top 5. That puts some perspective on where Bo Nickal sits

The Nguyen v Yahya was nuts. It should've been stopped earlier. I can understand what Herzog was thinking, Yahya was immediately looking good after each knockdown.. but 6 knockdowns?

A bit of swelling under his eye
