    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

                    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

                                    Dircus looks horrendous on the feet and scores a powerful KO win haha.
                                    Really looks like an amateur. Tough though, Like a Vettori who can actually hurt people. May give adesanya Trouble but just seems way too stiff and slow.

                                    Volk way too good. Great win for Hooker chin seems to be back.

                                      Great card, good battles and a few upsets

                                      Volk mauled Yair. Hard to see where the next challenge is at this weight

                                      Hooker turned things around after a tough start. Not sure how that was a split decision, at least the result was correct. Finished the fight with a broken bone in his arm (the same wrist that cancelled the last fight?)

                                      Du Plessis winning is great for the division

                                      Happy I was wrong about Lawler

                                        Really classless. That bizarre racist rant was cringeworthy. Let the man have his moment for fuck sake. Beating Whitaker like he did is huge, his awkward defence will be tough for anyone to breach.

                                        Bo Nickal showed real stopping power.

                                        Hooker showed immense heart and toughness.

                                          @MN5 hes terrible aye....

                                          Dircus looks horrendous on the feet and scores a powerful KO win haha.
                                          Really looks like an amateur. Tough though, Like a Vettori who can actually hurt people. May give adesanya Trouble but just seems way too stiff and slow.

                                          Blame the UFC, it was pre-planned. On certain fights they've been bringing in the next challenger/current champ into the octagon to set up the next fight. It has always been cringey. Particularly because one guy is fresh and one guy just had a fight. I've never seen it 'work'
