        Glover v Procházka
        He takes risks but I think it will pay off for Procházka

        Shevchenko v Santos
        This might be a dud? Santos hits hard so Valentina might use her kicks to keep the distance. Hope VS wants to put on a show.

        Weili v Joanna
        3 round fight should favour Weili, but I think Joanna use her length better this time

        Go the Aussies on the card. Really looking forward to watching Jack Della Maddalena, he has huge potential

              Glover v Jiri was one of the most entertaining fights ever. Both guys looked like the had lost multiple times. The tactical errors and Jiri's loose defence helped as much as the amazing chins and technical skills

              Shevchenko got a shock and escaped with a narrow win. These two will fight again soon and it won't be close if Valentina has a more pragmatic game plan.

              Joanna is one of my favourite fighters. Was hoping she could have another title run before retiring

              Matthews looked like a beast. The best he's ever looked

              Jack Della Maddalena could rise up the ranks very quickly. Good to see him have to escape a tough situation

                      That’s the best Prelim card I’ve ever seen

                      And the Main card did not disappoint

                          Kiwi Carlos Ulberg is coming up after the next fight (I guess ~1:30 on espn)

                          A mixed start to his UFC career so far. His first fight he didn’t manage his gas tank well and got KO’d. The second fight was much better but very conservative.

                          Hopefully we see another big improvement

                          One thing I want to see is better feints. The best guys at CKB are so natural and fluid with their feints and it creates opportunities. So far Carlos’s feints are jerky and obvious. He trains with the best, hopefully he’s a good student

                            Well we didn’t get to see much from Ulberg because he got the KO early

                            Good result

                                  It's the biggest card of the year this weekend. Headlined by a kiwi, co-main is an Aussie.

                                  Volk is probably the featherweight goat if he wins his fight

                                  This is video is decent - Izzy and Volk making their picks for each fight. They're both good at making this sort of content

                                    @MiketheSnow who are you picking? Max & Cannonier? You can probably guess my picks

                                    Riddell & Turner to be fight of the night if it goes beyond one round

                                    Go CKB, Robbie, Pedro & Ian Garry

                                        Riddell got caught early and didn't get a chance to recover. Shit. Turner was likely to win anyway but I was hoping this would last a few rounds

                                        Volk ended all the chat from Holloway fans. Max overwhelms people with his volume.. but so does Volk plus he has the speed and power edge. I have no interest in a 4th fight unless it's a few years away

                                        Volkanovski the featherweight GOAT now? It's him or Aldo.

                                        Izzy with another fight that some people find boring.

                                        Adesanya is in a weird place where the fights keep following the same pattern. He's a great counter striker so no one bum rushes him any more. Then his feints mesmerise people and they struggle work their way in or go for a takedown. Izzy wins a comfortable decision. Repeat.

                                        Pereira knows what he can do in a kickboxing fight with Izzy. So that fight should look different. Great storyline too. Adesanya by Submission

                                        Lawler v Barberena was a classic no defence, stand and bang fight.

                                        Good that Cowboy retired. He's been taking some damage in recent years

                                        Dricus du Plessis is a beast. Would love to see him fight with a more deliberate game plan.

                                          Haven’t been paying attention and just noticed how good tomorrow mornings London card is. So many fun fights

                                          Go the Brits. Hopefully Wood, Jones and Pimblett put on a show. Good tests for Craig and Aspinall
