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 AlbaziRound 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

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 GOATUFC Fight Night
Fight of the Year contender between Vettori and CannonierTafa fighting this weekend
And what should be a banger between Emmett and Topuria

UFC Fight Night
Fight of the Year contender between Vettori and CannonierCannonier'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 -
Elves is not dead
Comeback of the Year contender
Amazing
Sean Strickland is a legend
On the eye poke
Bisping: Talk to me about those eye pokes. How hurt were you in Round 1?
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

Menifield
Gomes
Maddalena
Lawler
Nickal
Turner
Du Plessis
Pantoja

Du Plessis
PantojaI'm curious about these picks
The saffa to drag Whittaker into a brawl? Pantoja because of their history?
