    All that Whittaker v Pereira chat was pointless... Pereira just announced he's moving up to LHW

    I see Bareman wants Adesanya to fight Hill for the LHW belt. Maybe the UFC will allow it because it will give time for something to develop at MW

    Whittaker v Du Plessis for an interim belt?

    Bo Nickal for Adesanya?

    Eventually, but even if they fast track him thats 2-3 fights away.

    Move Khamzat up a division?

    The UFC wants a big event in Africa soon. I think they'll want Adesanya v Du Plessis to be the headline but it's hard to argue for him having a title fight without beating Whittaker

      This fight is confirmed for UFC 290 in July. Not for an interim belt.. that may change depending on what Adesanya does next

      290 will have Hooker v Turner and probably Volk v Yair. A fun card

      I suspect they are going to let Adesanya go for the LHW belt. There were several MW fights confirmed this week, so the potential opponents are all busy now. Whittaker/Du Plessis, Hermansson/Allen, Vettori/Cannonier, Strickland/Magomedov

            No ring rust from Cejudo

            A very close fight. I had it Cejudo 48-47

              Me too

              Belal is the epitome of non-flashy but man is he hard to beat

              Thought the Dober stoppage was premature

              Great debut from Lopes

                I hope Cejudo has a few more fights. Not sure how interested he is in fighting in non title fights though

                I see some have suggested he fight Holloway at 145. The size difference would be huge but Cejudo would still have a chance

                It's a way of giving both of them a big fight. Neither of them are getting a title shot again soon

                  If the numbers were good, a rematch against Sterling is on the cards

                  Sterling has been a very fortunate champion

                    Very fortunate. It looks like O'Malley was already contracted for the winner no matter what happened.

                    I guess Cejudo could wait a year

                    Such a good division. I want Sterling to lose the belt so Dvalishvili can have a good crack at it

                          Looking forward to seeing how Ulberg goes overnight. He's shown big improvements each fight.. hope it continues

                          Walker is always fun. If he doesn't fight like a tard he's better than Smith. But it's entirely possible he puts on a show for 3-4mins and gasses

                          Garry to extend his winning streak

                          A couple of interesting HW matchups too. A decent card.


                          Jairzinho Rozenstruik v Jailton Almeida
                          Anthony Smith v Johnny Walker
                          Daniel Rodriguez v Ian Garry
                          Carlos Ulberg v Ihor Potieria
                          Alex Morono v Tim Means

                              I missed the prelims. The card had some heavy favourites. I guess with the ABC audience the UFC wanted finishes and to showcase some fighters they think will kick on

                              Ulberg got it done but that was a strange finish.. keep punching until ref tells you to stop. Accurate punch that got the knock down

                              What the fuck was Smith talking about and why didn’t Walker go for the kill late in the 3rd? Weird fight

                                Matt Brown living his nickname

                                Great finish from Battle

                                Ulberg and Garry looked very comfortable

                                  291 is another fun card

                                  Good to see they are giving Pereira a different type of test. I’m picking Jan in this one.

                                      Good challenge for Kai Kara-France on Sunday. Albazi has a bit of hype behind him and he's going up the rankings fast. Striker v Wrestler

                                      Mullarkey worth watching on the prelims. His fights are always entertaining

                                      Hope Arlovski goes well. 44 years old, still competitive, pro debut last century back when he had hair like 1980s George Michael
