    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

    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.

                Adesanya v Costa still doesn't have a location. It was pencilled in for Vegas but the situation keeps changing in the US.. Izzy still talking up the possibility of NZ

                  Good card over the weekend

                  Cool submissions

                  Deiveson Figueiredo is a machine.

                  Joe was tough though

                    Good to see some clarity at 125. Joe was out classed but tough

                    Hermansson will be a difficult matchup for Adesanya in 2-3 fights

                              Long lay offs can go both ways - rejuvenation or retirement.

                                That's half the reason this fight is difficult to predict.

                                Whittaker hasn't won for two years and has had injuries/mental breaks

                                Till has plenty of questions about him too.. A couple of losses before moving up and then a close fight with Gastelum. He's had a few challenges outside the ring too

                                Maybe I'll lean towards the guy who hasn't peaked yet vs the guy who is trying to peak again. Whittaker of 2-3 years ago would out work Till though


                                Looking forward to seeing Gustafsson at heavyweight.

                                Guys like him make me think a 225 or 230 division could work. Maybe they'd need to bump the HW max up a little if they did that

                                  @Duluth I like that idea. I do wonder though what would happen if Alex wore an uppercut from Ngannou as Overeem did. I think he'd die.

                                    @MiketheSnow I don’t think Whittaker has it in hi anymore.

                                    Hard to know

                                    Long lay offs can go both ways - rejuvenation or retirement.

                                    That's half the reason this fight is difficult to predict.

                                    Whittaker hasn't won for two years and has had injuries/mental breaks

                                    Till has plenty of questions about him too.. A couple of losses before moving up and then a close fight with Gastelum. He's had a few challenges outside the ring too

                                    Maybe I'll lean towards the guy who hasn't peaked yet vs the guy who is trying to peak again. Whittaker of 2-3 years ago would out work Till though


                                    Looking forward to seeing Gustafsson at heavyweight.

                                    Guys like him make me think a 225 or 230 division could work. Maybe they'd need to bump the HW max up a little if they did that

                                    The unbeaten Till from 2-3 years ago was a different proposition too.

                                    But agree, I think the interim has favoured Till

                                      Bethe Correia is possibly my least favourite fighter in the ufc. She may well win this one but she’s behind on the cards right now. She’s just a dumb fighter.

                                      Hears the 10sec clap and stopped bloody fighting like it was the end of the round. Her coaches must have been furious.

                                        She clearly lost that fight and prances around the ring afterward likes she’s won it convincingly.

                                          If you act like that, you can’t look like her
