    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

                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

                                        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
