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

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
-
Huge fight for both
-
Another great card with some top notch contests and excellent finishes

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

A bit gutted about this matchup. Really loving Reyes resurgence but I gotta back the kiwi
There's at least two more kiwis on that card
Stirling is fighting Rodolfo Bellato. We were talking about him a couple of months ago.. he's the fighter who had the strange 'no contest' fight when he had a delayed reaction to Paul Craigs up kick
There'll also be the debut of NZ first female UFC fighter Michelle Montague. She fights out of 'American Top Team' in Florida
NZH did a story on her before the fight was announced
Montague becomes first Kiwi woman to sign with UFC
Montague joins the UFC with a 6-0 record; all six wins coming by submission.
