City Kickboxing is building a good roster
..and it looks like they have another UFC fighter - Brad Riddell
Not officially confirmed but it's been reported that he'll be making his UFC debut in Melbourne. He has a Muay Thai background.
There's a few videos on youtube of him.
KO highlights
Interview & training with Adesanya and Volkanovski
@Duluth Not UFC related but they also have 2 promising heavyweight boxers Hemi Ahio and Junior Fa as well.

UFC 242
Great card
"In times of success be grateful, in times of defeat be graceful"

Interesting card on Saturday
Jack Hermansson and the Danish crowd silenced
-
A couple of hype videos are up for UFC 243
I'm looking forward to Hooker vs Iaquinta as much as the main event
The kiwi-ish title fight should be fun too
-
-
Any predictions for the main event?
I have no strong opinion.
Maybe Whittaker? I don’t think he’ll let the fight stay at the Adesanya range.
-
Whittaker certainly looked fit & ready in the open workout today
-
In Melbourne for the fight and just watched the weigh-ins. The old style genuine weighing are so much better for the fans
Aussie crowd strangely quiet. Too early? I assume they’ll be drunk tomorrow despite the early start
Plenty of boos for Israel
Ragin Al is tiny next to Hooker
-
that was amazing from Adesanya - just smoked Robert Whittaker.
-
Adesanya could've knocked Whittakers block off to be fair after that knock-out, and its the measure of the man he didn't - stunning victory
-
Incredible results for city kickboxing
Adesanya’s striking is freakish
Hooker I thought might squeak a victory against Al, but he did far better than that. So happy about that result, that’s huge for his career.
Riddell’s debut was entertaining, one of the more enjoyable fights on the card. Shame he didn’t quite get the finish
Aussie crowd was strangely quiet until the main event. Not a great night for their fighters either
Now give Auckland a big card in 2020

Funny how ESPN always refer to him as a Nigerian, when he appears to ID as a NZer
@canefan
Identifies as both, fights under the Nigerian flag but has done all his development in NZ and fought under the NZ flag in his kickboxing days. Could be a marketing decision as there are plenty of Nigerians and Nigerian descent globally.Great win, Adesanya on track to be a great.
