@MiketheSnow maybe Pimblett will listen to his corner next time? Entertaining fight though

What’s next for Pimblett? The winner of Hooker v BSD this weekend?

Yeah

But he tried for the single leg and got stuffed each time

Yeah but he needed to try it earlier in the fight. Only one attempt in the first three rounds. He went for it later in the fight when he was compromised with all the damage

His corner was begging for it. Gaethje was off balance plenty of times in rounds 1 and 3 in particular

[Rembrandt]

I think the bloke needed to be humbled, didnt think he needed to play to his strengths. I wonder where Arman fits into matchup calculations. Paddy/Arman maybe?

[Rembrandt]

I've just realised, outside of Shevchenko no other current UFC champion has any defences in their current reign.
Crazy turnover.

[Rembrandt]

Way more pumped for this card than last weekend. Whole main card are crowd pleasers.

Picks:
Tau
Lui
Szalay
Dom Mar Fan (If its the guy I'm thinking of he had a hell of a fight on RTUFC)
Ofli

Micallef
Malkoun
Rowston
Elekana

Salkilld
Teixeira
Fiziev
Hooker
Lopes (I said after their last match that I think Lopes would take a 2nd fight...sticking with much as much as I hope I'm wrong)

[Duluth]

Tau missed weight by a lot. Surely that’s the end of his UFC contract chances, White wasn’t impressed with his antics on Contender series

[Duluth]

Elbow pushing down on the screen?

[Rembrandt]

Oh man, busted...fark what a shame. Dudes last chance too.

[Young Hamiltons]

Fighters are just not the same after fighting the highlight.

[Duluth]

Volk way too good again. Plenty of adjustments from both sides but the fundamentals were the same. Lopes struggled to close the distance and didn't have much success in cutting him off

Not sure what fight DC was watching. Quite a strange commentary.

Another confusing fight by Hooker. After the last fight he talked about how he shouldn't jump for the guillotine. He has really good TDD but struggles to get back to his feet.. so the risk/reward of voluntarily going to the ground doesn't make sense against people like Arman/BSD
It will be interesting to hear if that was a tactic of it was just instinct taking over again. A shame, he was looking good on the feet

Salkilld looks special

Another good effort from Rowston. Nice feints, he scrambled Brundage's brain
