      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

                            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

                                      @MiketheSnow can't see it. I think Whittaker get his first ko in a while
