    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

        I'm curious about these picks

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

                  @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.

                                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!

                                    The highlight reel was epic
                                    The editing was NFL Films worthy

                                    That smile and the closed right eye

                                    How he took that kick is beyond belief
                                    What a fight


                                    Du Plessis a tad unco at times
                                    But too much power

                                    Izzy looked like a fucking knob

                                    Moreno was great, but the takedowns turned it
