Thank you Uncle Dana.

UFC Fight Night 171
Another great card
Lots of fighters putting their hands up
Big main bout

UFC Fight Night 172
Excellent Prelim Card
Some good bouts on the Main Card
The UFC fighters who've fought in the past 8 days haven't spent Lockdown eating and watching Netflix.
Very impressed.
Will be interesting to see if other sportsmen return to work as prepared.

Thought Barboza won and easily. Also thought Angela Hill won. Not quite robberies but I was scratching my head.
Overall card was great.

Agreed on both

Woodley Vs Burns is the fight no one asked for and no one wanted to see. Woodley vs Covington or Woodley vs Usman 2 or Covington vs Usman 2 or Woodley vs Street Jesus or Street Jesus vs Covington...all on a ppv at a later date would be preferable to this

I saw it and really enjoyed it
Woodley looked bemused and bereft
And well beaten

@MiketheSnow I enjoyed Burns effort but not Woodley. He’s looking so one dimensional now.
Rest of the card good. I think I preferred the larger stadium than the UFC gym though.

The echo made strikes sound brutal in the empty arena's
The could improve a few things about the apex events
- The audio mix could change. More fight noise, less coaches yelling
- I prefer the full size octagon. I know they won't change that though.
- Buffer makes a difference. Martinez asking a non existent crowd to make some noise is shit
- I hate the interview setup. I get that Nevada has not allowed the octagon interviews. Instead of headphones and a split screen why not have a large table with the fighter standing on one side and DC/Rogan on the other?

Yeah I felt like the fighters were cramped. Although the flying front kick from Spike to start the round probs doesnt happen in a full size octogon.
Martinez is like a boxing announcer. He's there to announce the fighters, which he does, but hes not part of the event.
Im not sure I would have Bisbing and DC co commentate again.

Garbrandt's punch yesterday was spectacular
4:59 in round 2. He takes a risk by crouching and throwing everything into one punch and lands it perfectly. It looks like a bullshit movie punch
Here's a gif someone posted on the sherdog forum
Same punch. Different angle. This shows the speed
O'Malleys perfectly timed punch with the casual walk away:
In other news some Irish guy quit for the 3rd time and the women's 145lb division continues to suck

Great card with some great finishes.
Thank you Uncle Dana.

UFC 251 is stacked already
Three title fights:
Usman v Burns
Volkanovski v Holloway
Yan v AldoRose v Andrade rematch is good too
@Duluth Hoping Rose comes correct and sees off a very lucky Andrade. I understand you have to put yourself in a position to win and Andrade did that but Rose is a much better fighter.
I expect Aldo to get torched by Yan but hoping he wins and immediately retires.
Max gets his belt back. I love both these guys but I think Holloway will be much better this time.
Usman vs Burns is hard to judge. They are teammates so it makes for a great fight. I'm going to go with Burns, just because.
