    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
          Karl Williams v Chase Sherman

              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)

                                    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

                                        The usual Izzy video but with a few boxing cameo's. A short chat with Tyson Fury, plus David Nyika & Joseph Parker

                                        I wouldn't be surprised if the French MMA fighter towards the end of the video turns up on the Contender series soon. Bareman has hinted that he might have a couple of fighters on it this season (presumably Navajo Sterling)

                                          Been some very good cards

                                          Fight of the Night performance from Erceg (Aus)
                                          Zahabi, Jasudavicius, Barriault, and Mallot flew the Canadian flag well
                                          Oliveira smashed Dariush
                                          Nunes won and retired as female GOAT

                                          And what should be a banger between Emmett and Topuria
