    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

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

                            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)

                              Ultimate Fighter still interesting enough to watch

                              Been some very good cards

                              UFC 289
                              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

                              UFC Fight Night
                              Fight of the Year contender between Vettori and Cannonier

                              Tafa fighting this weekend

                              And what should be a banger between Emmett and Topuria

                                Cannonier's cardio and Vettori's chin made the fight.. but Vettori looked so easy to hit. JC recovered well after getting rocked twice early

                                Not sure what it means for the division though. There still seem to be a big gap back from Adesanya/Whittaker to the rest now... unless Du Plessis is better than I think (a tri nations top three??)

                                Maybe Cannonier should fight the loser of Whittaker v Du Plessis?

                                      Some great bouts and finishes in the Main Card of UFC Fight Night : Emmett v Topuria

                                      Brendan Allen looked good
                                      Huge KO from Onama
                                      Barber 2.0 looked vastly improved
                                      Masterclass from Topuria in an absolute battle

                                        Strickland: Oh man I almost got pregnant off that one. It was pretty deep you guys

                                          Hooker & Adesanya's picks for the weekend. Izzy picking Du Plessis.. Obviously he's hoping for a new opponent.

                                          I'm picking all the Aussies, plus the Kiwi, Moreno, Price and obviously Nickal vs a last minute opponent. I hope I'm wrong and Lawler finishes with a win

                                          Tougher fight for Volkanovski that the odds are indicating
