      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

                                          Pantoja

                                          I'm curious about these picks

                                          The saffa to drag Whittaker into a brawl? Pantoja because of their history?
