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
Volkanovski -

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

Turner misses weight
Idiot

@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.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.
Great afternoon of fights, bloody entertaining.
Bo Nickal showed real stopping power.
Hooker showed immense heart and toughness.
Volk too savvy and tough.

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'

Preplanned or not there wasn’t any excuse for Izzy to act like that. du Plessis on the other hand reacted really well.
What an absolute cock bringing all that race shit into things.

@MN5 this goes back further between them. He questioned how African Adesanya was. It’s dumb shit but it keeps some people engaged I guess

I guess I just long for the good old wholesome days when Mike Tyson said he was going to eat Lennox Lewis’s babies…..
But yeah, it’s certainly made me keen to make sure I catch UFC 293

Fair enough. I guess the promotion did it's job then
I think I'll be dipping out of following the leadup chat though. Two guys deliberately confusing the different uses of the word African (African born, African race, African resident) who probably quite like each other and will be friendly after the bout

100% agree.
Really good card all round.
Izzy’s antics though, geee i cringed pretty hard. Can’t wait to see him and Dricus fight soon!
