    Nah Izzy has enough power. His timing was off though.

    Strickland can be awkward. It could’ve been that, maybe the punch at the end of the first rocked him more than it looked, or maybe something else was wrong? Who knows. He barely got any combos off, lots of single strikes

    Opens up the division though. There’s several fighters I think are better than Strickland. Does Pereira come back down?

    Yeah that might be the case but from what he had done previously I knew he was no chance to knock him out.

      Good debut for Jousset. Got better as the round went on, jab and calf kicks working well. Got a submission in the last few seconds of round 1

      Great patience and accuracy

      Great call out too

        Strickland dominated

        He’s far better than many are giving him credit for

        Made Izzy look like the challenger

        Great game plan, great discipline

                Enjoyable card and a couple of pretty awesome finishes for Pedro and Tafa.

                First of the co-main events went as expected.

                The second...wow. Strickland came in with a plan and executed it so well. Simply outboxed Izzy. That jab got through so consistently. Brilliant.

                  Some great fights on the last episode of the contender series. It's crazy how consistently high the quality is on that series

                      Eugene Bareman going through each of the 6 CKB fights at UFC 293

                      Shitty sound quality but he gives some pretty good details.. it gets a bit vague when talking about the main event but thats because there's probably a rematch at some stage

                        Oliveira out of UFC 294

                        So it’s Volk v Islam 2

                            Confirmed that Costa is out too

                            Usman v Chimaev is the co-main now

                            I'm actually more interested in the replacement fights than the original ones

                              Odds makers not giving Volk or Usman much chance

                              With a full camp I would’ve picked Volk to win. Nothing to lose this weekend, I think he’ll be chasing an early KO

                                  Magomedov comes in with a lot of hype

                                  Be interesting to see how he goes

                                  Elliott v Makaev should be fun

                                  Just can’t warm to Ankalaev

                                        Unfortunately not.

                                        Probably a tactical error from Volk? He would’ve got the rematch eventually but being a two division champ looks unlikely now. Credit for taking the risk and saving the card.

                                        Usman did better than I expected. I see Khamzat thinks he broke his hand though

                                        The Walker fight was a circus. I guess they need a translator to come into the octagon with the doctor now
