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

MiketheSnow

Been a great series

Duluth

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

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

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

Lead uppercut followed up by a beautiful overhand left ( just checking I got that right….I mean left….I mean…..) fucken southpaws.

Great timing and power.
