    Not related to the above, but anyone else watched that 30 for 30 Chuck and Tito and the rise of the UFC? Bloody interesting. Especially watching Dana get bigger over the journey...

    Tito and Dana really fucking hate each other.

      Dana's shots at Tito were funny. It was hard watching Liddell keep fighting

      I only became a fan about ten years so I missed all this stuff first time around

          @mariner4life Dana's got that Michael Jordan clout. He can say what he likes to whomever he wants. Plus Tito is a dumbshit.

            Fight Island is paid for and booked! Just in time for Mike Perry to bring the sport of MMA into disrepute...

            This man is a dead shit.

              How dumb is the old, fat guy to call Perry a motherfucker twice and mimic him?

              How dumb is Perry using the 'n' word?

                What are your predictions for the main card?

                Usman vs Masvidal
                Volkanovski vs Holloway
                Yan vs Aldo
                Andrade vs Namajunas
                Ribas vs VanZant

                Hmmm.. I just realised thats all the favourites. Yan/Aldo was the toughest pick.. I'm fairly confident in Volkanovski

                  @Duluth Hard to disagree.

                  I think Rose is by far the better fighter but I'm not sure her head is right. She seems like such a reluctant fighter.

                  Volkansovski vs Holloway is probably the purist fight. 2 guys at the height if their game. If Max comes to fight....its too close to call for me.

                  I think Usman is an elite champion. He could be there for a long time. He's a bit like Khabib. Not always the most fun fights to watch but he gets shit done and mostly, efficiently. Masvidal is not a chump but let's face it if he gets the win none of us know anything about the fight game. He's not a grappler/wrestler in the classical sense still has subs on his record but Usman is a state champion wrestler. I think it'll be either Usman gets rocked in the first for the upset or it's a snooze fest with usman holding the dominant positions throughout the match to the decision.

                  Yan is too young and too smart for Aldo.

                  RIbas gets the easy win but hopefully doesn't do too much damage....

                    @MiketheSnow the old guy just lost his mind and actually attacked Perry. Probably thought he was some whack job emo(look up Perry's latest fashion efforts on Instagram) and thought he could take him.

                            Just getting over an early hangover....

                            Thug Rose!

                            Yan was just too good.

                            Ribas sent VanZant into Hopefully either “unauthorised” sextapes or playboy.com..

                            Holloway was robbed And the respect Alex wanted is not really going to be forthcoming after that.

                            Will rewatch the prelims tomorrow night when I’m a bit more sober lol

                              Can't help but feel like CKB has gone from face to heel, to use wrestling terms. Hope Izzy can put a convincing and entertaining win over Costa to get them back into the casual fans good books.

                                Has VanZant had a boob job in preparation?

                                Usman showed how good he is.

                                Great KO win for Davey Grant.

                                Jiri acts like a cock but great finish.

                                  Will rewatch the prelims tomorrow night when I’m a bit more sober lol

                                  Yep to all of that.

                                  Has VanZant had a boob job in preparation?

                                  Usman showed how good he is.

                                  Great KO win for Davey Grant.

                                  Jiri acts like a cock but great finish.

                                    How did you guys score the rounds in the Volkanovski/Holloway fight?

                                    I was expecting a 48-47 win to Holloway

                                    1 & 2 Holloway
                                    4 & 5 Volkanovski

                                    I had Holloway edging round 3 but I can see how an argument could be made for Volkanovski in that round.
                                    I thought the commentary was too positive for Holloway during round 3

                                    The judges scorecards were a surprise. Two of them went 3,4 & 5 to Volkanovski... ok, not what I scored but I can see how that is possible.

                                    The judge that gave it to Holloway gave him 1,2 & 5. So all three judges gave round 3 to Alexander. Did anyone else think Max won round 5?

                                      In the press conference White said that an event in this part of the world was a possibility before the end of the year.

                                      He specifically mentioned sports in NZ having crowds back.
