    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

              Matt Brown v Court McGee

                  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

                                Great first episode of TUF

                                Also came across this

                                Great doco

                                  The KKF decision was odd

                                  I was drinking when watching but I see most other people had the same score

                                  1,4 & 5 KKF
                                  3 Albazi

                                  Round 2 very close

                                  So I was expecting 49-46 or 48-47

                                  The judge that gave round 4 to Albazi should have to explain why. No takedowns and significant strikes were 27-5 in favour of KKF

                                  Mullarkey got sloppy for a couple of seconds and paid the price

                                  Caceres v Pineda was awesome

                                  Loved the finish from Miller

                                    I missed this event but have seen the heat surrounding the KKF decision. Sure does sound odd!

                                      Normally White would say something shitty about the judging but the UFC are keen on Albazi and his region

                                      It'll be interesting to see the rankings when they get updated (tonight I think)

                                        Screenshot 2023-06-07 at 3.22.18 PM.png

                                        So they did a standard change to the rankings. Nicolau and Perez should be a bit pissy about that too

                                        KKF probably about as far from a title fight as he was before the weekend

                                          It’ll never happen but it would be fun: Wilder v Ngannou first fight in boxing, second fight in mma
