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
-
Looked very composed and confident.
Great finish.

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

Hall in Early Prelims
Tavares, Miller, Garry, Turner in Prelims
O’Malley, Barberena, Strickland, Holloway, Cannonier in the Mains

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

KKF had a couple of chances, couldn't quite finish it off. The slight speed disadvantage was always going to be tough to overcome
The chat about the Lewis stoppage has overshadowed how good Pavlovich looked
I want to see Shevchenko v Nunes III. Despite the judges I think they are currently 1-1. Valentina is the female goat IMO

Think KKF will be better for this loss
He’s got the goods to be Champ
Good stoppage for me too
He was about to take a serious beating on his back
The third fight in the trilogy would be massive

UFC Santos v Hill
Great card top to bottom
10 fights, 10 finishes
Only second time for an all finish card
