    UFC VEGAS 7

    Fantastic night of action

    Comeback of the Year from Trevin Jones to TKO the much fancied Timur Valiev

    Close contender to Comeback of the Year, Daniel Rodriguez KO against Dwight Grant

    Highly skilled and patient win for Solecki

    Great finish from Mike Rodriguez

    Still plenty of life in Frankie Edgar

      A little slap at the weigh in:

      Gets you a real slap in the fight

      Pereira looked bloody good in that fight. Even ignoring the clowning the striking was so accurate and he kept the pace up all the way through

          His chin has held up well in the last two fights. I thought he was done.. happy to be proved wrong

              Yeah was a very good day of fights. Main event could have gone either way. I wanted Hill to win but she let it go to the cards. 2 fights she could have been awarded in a row.

              I had a look at the Bellator fights today and I have to say, I was pretty impressed. Didn’t know any of the fighters that well of the fights I watched but it was high level stuff.

                UFC 253 - the travel for the kiwi fighters is a little awkward. The UFC was concerned about travel options from NZ to Abu Dhabi. So they asked them to fly to Vegas first and then they'll take the charter flight with the other fighters

                So two long flights and the first one is a week earlier than normal

                Also the UFC asked CKB to prepare two extra fighters - Blood Diamond and Carlos Ulberg. They might get called up if there's any positive covid tests/injuries.
                There's five shows in a row at fight island so I guess they'll stay around after 253

                  UFC Fight Night: Covington vs Woodley - this was a big deal 2 years ago but not so much now.

                  Covington vs Woodley - Covington by UD or late stoppage. Woodley doesn't bang anymore.

                  Cerrone vs Price - Cerrone 2nd TKO
                  Chimaev vs Meerschaert - Chimaev Submission
                  Walker vs Spann - Walker 2nd TKO
                  Dern vs Markos - Markos UD or Dern Sub within 2
                  Holland vs Stewart - no idea

                    @raznomore

                    Agree on the main event. I don't think Woodley can turn around the decline. Covington won't finish him but it should be comfortable

                    Price to KO Cerrone. I think he's done. Potentially his last fight too? (White made it clear in the media that Cerrone has to win)

                    Agree on Chimaev and Walker

                        @Duluth there’s not a lot you can take as fact from Covington and his corner. But they were talking this week about him not being a natural Southpaw and have switched stance. They are claiming he is now a power puncher.

                          It appears the UFC commentators owe Tognoni an apology

                          The rules in Nevada changed in 2019. A timeout is now allowed for video replay. They kept quoting the rule on the use of video replay on a fight ending sequence

                                    Main event went mostly as expected. Woodley gets frustrated against top class guys now. Covington was impressive.. he's underrated because people pay too much attention to his silly wrestling persona

                                    Cerrone's chin held up better than I thought it would. A draw pauses his slide

                                      Can not believe how badly Woodley has dropped off. Since and including his fight with Usman, he has done nothing.

                                        Stewart shafted IMHO

                                        Thought Cowboy did enough too. You could see Price was surprised.

                                        Walker is loose but tough as fuck.

                                        Chimaev. Machine.

                                        Dern great finish.

                                        Covington deserved winner but average bout.

                                        Prelims were exciting as fuck.
