Brilliant debut from Dos Santos

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.

[Duluth]

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

[MiketheSnow]

Been a great 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

[Duluth]

Oliveira out of UFC 294

So it’s Volk v Islam 2

[MiketheSnow]

Costa could be out too

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

[Duluth]

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

[MiketheSnow]

Fingers crossed the call ups do the job

[MiketheSnow]

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

[MN5]

Woohoo, two big Rugby games and UFC on Sunday……

Lucky I have Monday to do all those annoying chores that never fucken go away.

@MN5

An earlier UFC this week.. unfortunately it clashes with the 2nd RWC semi

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

[Duluth]

Jon Jones injured

Good HW fight. Hope Aspinall gets it done.. talented, fast and media friendly

[MiketheSnow]

That's two great fights

[Duluth]

Hooker v Green in a 5 round co-main. Both in good recent form. Austin TX, early next month

Decent card for a fight night

[Duluth]

..and Hooker v Green is off because Hooker broke his arm again. Same injury

[Duluth]

CKB’s Kevin Jousset looked promising again in his 2nd UFC fight. Very accurate with his striking. The UFC will be very happy to have another French fighter to push

Rountree had a good finish
