GaethjeThe 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

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 catnipAldo 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 BellatorCKB 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.

With the World Cup, my sons visiting and this on Sunday it’s a good thing I got through a mountain of chores last weekend cos I’ll be doing fuck all this weekend.
I really wanted to see Izzy fight Dricus Du Plessis but I’m sure this will be sensational entertainment.

I’m sure this will be sensational entertainment.
It's a slightly weak card esp after Kara-France pulled out. However it's a great card for fans from this part of the world.
10 of the 12 fights are people fighting out of CKB or Aussies
Unfortunately 3 CKB fights are on the early prelims (fight pass stream). Jousset's debut and massive fights for Blood Diamond & Shane Young.. both fighters probably need a win to keep their contracts

Entertaining

My guesses
Kevin Jousset v Kiefer Crosbie
Don't know much about the opponent. Picking Jousset because I know he's good. Apparently gave Izzy loads of trouble early in their camps
Shane Young v Gabriel Miranda
I hope I'm wrong but I'm pessimistic about Youngs ability at this level. Great cardio but not as athletic as some other fighters.
There's always a bit of chat about outside distractions with Young. Apparently they are gone (whatever they were)
Blood Diamond v Charlie Radtke
Seen him do some freakish stuff as a kickboxer, although a little reckless. His two UFC fights have been genuinely bad so far. Apparently he always looks great in trianing.. so it must be a mental thing.
Picking him to finally click against a striker. If not he'll probably get cut.
Nasrat Haqparast v Landon Quiñones
Don't really care but I'll go Haqparast
Jamie Mullarkey v John Makdessi
This could be tricky for Mullarkey. He should win though
Jack Jenkins v Chepe Mariscal
This should be a fun fight - Jenkins
Carlos Ulberg v Jung Da-un
Ulberg has made significant improvements eac fight. I'll pick that to continue with a kick KO
Tyson Pedro v Anton Turkalj
Pedro looked great when he first returned then had a couple of flat fights. I'm hoping he's back on track
Justin Tafa v Austen Lane
Tafa could easily get the KO. Lane has the edge
Manel Kape v Felipe dos Santos
Kape too good
Tai Tuivasa v Alexander Volkov
Tai certainly has a good chance. I think his slide continues though
Israel Adesanya v Sean Strickland
I like Strickland but this will be hard. It's a bad match up for the style of striker that Strickland is. I presume it'll be a take down heavy attack but as others have found out taking down Adesanya is difficultStill, there's plenty of ways to lose a MMA fight and Strickland will be relentless. Picking a late knockout to Izzy.. the fight to stay mostly on the feet and Strickland to take a lot of damage trying to get into range
