@raznomore said in UFC:
Yes Bam. Yes!
Stopping Hardy will make him even more popular.
Worst thing about him winning is the shoeys. I can watch bones being broken, eye injuries etc but my I have look away on that shit

Du Plessis. Boom
O'Malley v The Terminator. WOW
Aldana got it done.
Bam Bam. BAMMM
Burns solid
Great while it lasted. Poirier is nails.

Dan Hooker confirmed he’ll be on the Volkanovski v Ortega card. No opponent yet. I’m hoping for Ferguson but guessing it’ll be someone outside the top 10
That’s looking like a strong card. Nick Diaz v Lawler, Shevchenko defending her belt, Blaydes v Rozenstruik etc
Hooker suggested that Izzy has a fight scheduled before the end of the year but it’s not announced yet. Some of the CKB fighters were pencilled in for the Volk card but are now on the Izzy one.

Not the UFC, but there's an interesting MMA fight tomorrow in the PFL
Genah Fabian from CKB is fighting Kayla Harrison
It's on regular sky during the day tomorrow
It's a bit like an old fashioned UFC fight - striker v grappler. Kayla is a big favourite but Fabians length and kickboxing might cause problems
I watched Genah's first couple of fights in this tournament. In the first one she was almost too comfortable and stayed in the clinch longer than she should've. Never under threat, but she went away from her strength and missed out on getting a finish.
Second fight went more to plan. Had a look at the opponent in the first round and got the finish in the second.MIQ vouchers are a lot harder to come by than a few months ago. So Fabian had to leave NZ with no return date. Will probably be stuck in the US for months. Kai Kara France is doing a similar thing for his next fight.
These are larger fighters than in the UFC. They are fighting at 155lbs. That's 10lbs bigger than the highest UFC division and 20lbs heavier than Rousey's old division.
I presume Harrison's plan is to win this PFL tournament, go to the UFC and fight Nunes at 145lbs (can she get to that weight??)
Hopefully Fabian spoils that plan
-
Harrison v Fabian went as predicted unfortunately
Nunes is in the crowd. Hopefully they fight in the next couple of years. Nunes punching power might be the only thing that can worry Kayla

@duluth I see that Morais was listed as an alternate. Did the no.1 seed pull out/got injured?
-
Great finish
Some really good fights on this card
-
@MiketheSnow I assume you watch a bit of Cage Warriors? Any opinion on how Paddy Pimblett will go in the UFC?
As for the main event I hope Till wins convincingly. MW desperately needs a contender that Izzy hasn't already beaten
