    Let the man have his moment for fuck sake.

    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

            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

            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!

                      That was impressive, so quick. Hopefully his next fight is v Gane

                      Craig looked good at MW too

                          The match makers have done well. All of these look like they should be fun fights. No idea who wins between Jan & Pereira

                          I hope Ferguson wins and then quits. I doubt it happens though.. that could be a tough one to watch

                          Gaethje to outlast Dustin

                          Unfortunately the Thompson v Pereira fight is off

                            Well said

                            Shame though

                            Would have been a great fight

                                  Unusual for the UFC to put a fight up on youtube only a few hours after it happened. Nice clean shot.

                                  They are going to push O'Malley hard.. he's a twat but they clearly see him as the next big star.

                                  Ian Garry looked good despite not quite getting the finish. Was there bad blood in the leadup? If not, I guess he'll be another polarising fighter.

                                  Ultimate fighter bantamweight final was awesome

                                    Unusual for the UFC to put a fight up on youtube only a few hours after it happened. Nice clean shot.

                                    They are going to push O'Malley hard.. he's a twat but they clearly see him as the next big star.

                                    Ian Garry looked good despite not quite getting the finish. Was there bad blood in the leadup? If not, I guess he'll be another polarising fighter.

                                    Ultimate fighter bantamweight final was awesome

                                    Huge result for Suga
                                    Huge result for the UFC
                                    He's Social media catnip

                                    Aldo was very gracious in defeat, Suga very gracious and honest in victory

                                    Garry had a beef about Magny saying he hit his kids when they arced up

                                    I like Garry, he's very skillful

                                    But he's starting to come across like Darren Till, and we all know how that panned out

                                    Superb FOTN from Katona and Gibson for the Ultimate Fighter Bantamweight Finale

                                      There's been a bit of CKB/UFC news recently

                                      Kai Kara-France got a concussion during training so is out of the Sydney card (Sep 10th)

                                      CKB still have 6 fighters on that card as Kevin Jousset has been added to the UFC roster. He's French but has been with CKB for 4 years now.
                                      He's fighting Kiefer Crosbie who has moved across from Bellator

                                      CKB might have another UFC soon. Aussie Cam Rowston is on the contender series in just over a week

                                        Does it still kick off on Sunday avo ( NZ/Aus time ? )

                                        I love having UFC as an excuse to try and get out of doing chores, I hope this is the case.
