    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?

      @bovidae

      I think the other fighter missed weight

      I only watched the main event so not sure

            @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

              @duluth agree, i dont think cannonier is that guy.

              but i do hope whittaker gets his shot, he very much deserves it and i think he has a shot at victory.

                Yeah, Whittaker with another game plan is a massive chance. I hope it happens.. I suspect it won't though

                That's the only rematch that I want to see. Brunson, Costa, Gastelum etc aren't interesting

                Go Till

                  He’s the real deal.

                  Jack Shore too.

                  Agreed, Till needs to finish Brunson

                    Great night of fighting

                    4 out of 5 for the Brits a great return

                    As one Liverpool door closes (Till) another one, maybe two open (Paddy and Tom)

                    Jack Shore quietly going about his work

                        Short hype video about Volkanovski. Some footage of his rugby league days and his early fights when he was fighting in the wrong weight classes

                          Great package

                          But really hope that Ortega gets back to his best and beats him a week Saturday.

                            Picks for 266?

                            Volkanovski v Ortega
                            Shevchenko v Murphy
                            Diaz v Lawler
                            Blaydes v Rozenstruik
                            Andrade v Calvillo
                            Moraes v Dvalishvili
                            Hooker v Haqparast
                            Abdurakhimov v Daukaus


                            Not that confident about the main event though.

                            Volk is the most underrated champ but Ortega is a scary opponent. He can go from nothing to a submission so quickly. Also his striking has improved recently.

                            Plus Volkanovski has had a limited camp because of gov policies in Aus. If he turns up as well prepared as normal I'll back him to outlast Ortega and get a stoppage late

                            Shevchenko is the best female MMA fighter and she'll win however she wants

                            I hope Diaz puts up a good fight. The signs aren't looking good

                            Good matchup. I think Rozenstruik might be slightly underrated at the moment. Only lost against the two best fighters in the division. All depends on how he copes with Blaydes takedowns

                            A dangerous fight for Hooker. All the other ranked LW fighters don't want to fight.. they're waiting on the outcomes of some other matchups. So it's a big risk with little upside
                            Both fighters had visa issues and shitty travel itineraries. Hooker had some other external bollocks during his camp. I expect a pissed off Hooker to be more aggressive than normal

                              Hooker talking about visa issues/finding an opponent etc

                              He’s on the prelims so that’s on regular espn in NZ. Probably around 2:15pm on Sunday

                                  Dominant performance from Hooker. The timing on those takedowns was great.

                                          Awesome performance from Volkanovski

                                          3rd round was crazy. No one gets out of Ortega submission attempts. He does it twice in the round and still manages to win the round.
                                          Ortega deserves credit for surviving the 4th

                                          One of the best fights of the year

                                          Diaz was slightly better than I was expecting. I was surprised that Lawler was so content to stay in range. Pleased with the Lawler win after Diaz switched weight classes

                                          Dvalishvili had a crazy comeback

                                          Great card
