    Would like to see the striking stats for Hooker v Felder. Many are saying it's a hometown decision but I've also heard Hooker actually landed more in the 5th. Felder certainly looks more damaged post fight.

        Cheers, so if the stats are accurate then Hooker deserved his victory.

          Adesanya defends his title this weekend

          I'm confident he'll win.. too fast and too elusive for Romero. Romero's crazy bursts of energy are always a threat though
          I actually hope there is some wrestling in this match. We haven't seen Israel have to defend that yet, but his camp is very confident they can cope with it

          Anyone picking Romero?

          Also does anyone think Joanna has a chance vs Zhang? I'll be cheering for Jedrzejczyk but can't see her competing

            Genuine question? Does he come out to the Lion King intro? AHHH DEN SAAANYA!!!!!

            Feels like a missed opportunity if not.

              Well that would be tougher than his dance routine.. this was his last fight entrance:

                I love Yoel. When he was called for cheating I was gutted. Happy when he was cleared obviously. He is a monster. He's a gargoyle carved out of granite. Olympic silver medal wrestler, flying knees, power punches. He's got a lot in the tank too. But Israel is too quick and too pinpoint.

                I'm on team Joanna. It's more interesting with characters in the women's divisions. She is one few girls that gets cerebral on the mic. She speaks perfect English and says cool things. Sometimes it comes off sometimes it doesn't. But she has a personality when not a lot of the other girls do. I see she got bolt-ons recently. Not sure why any girl fighter would want that while they are active.

                    @raznomore Wow, you are right. Why on earth would a UFC fighter want them? Surely they are a hinderance in the ring.

                      Yeah it seems counter productive

                      Pure speculation, but I would assume it's related to her ex-fiance cheating on her (she claims that's why she lost her belt)
                      Other fighters calling her gollum probably didn't help

                        @Duluth they call her Gollum?? That’s rough.

                        She has the best coloured eyes I’ve seen in a while but when you’re walking around with A Brent Tate chin I’d imagine self esteem may be an issue.

                          I think she claims it's about JJ's crouched weigh-in pose. But it was really bitchy and she wasn't the only female fighter calling her Gollum

                                      Zhang looked drained after the face off. I saw just now she's still cutting weight.

                                      That's enough for me to put a sneaky $20 on JJ for KO/TKO or SUB

                                        @raznomore said in UFC:

                                        Zhang looked drained after the face off. I saw just now she's still cutting weight.

                                        That's enough for me to put a sneaky $20 on JJ for KO/TKO or SUB

                                        I'm starting to lean this way too.. and JJ is looking the best she has for years

                                        I was surprised at how big Adesanya looked next to Romero too

                                          Well that's easily the best womens MMA fight I've seen. Joanna is tough.. could anyone else take those punches??
                                          Her face is a mess right now

                                          She had plenty of success, a razor thin decision again

                                          The finish of the Dariush fight was amazing too

                                          Great card already. Now it's time for Izzy...
