Duluth

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

Duluth

Fingers crossed the call ups do the job

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

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.

I should have realised. There was no jabs in that clip

Duluth

It’s unlikely but I’m hoping a couple of the old guys win tomorrow - Ferguson & Thompson

MiketheSnow

Hopefully a series of cockheads will get their comeuppance (including Paddy)

From the bottom

Gaziev
Almeida
Ulanbekov

Lipski
Kelleher
Rosa
Menifield

Mitchell
Ferguson
Rakhmonov
Pantoja
Edwards

MiketheSnow

Great card

Some top, top fights and great finishes

Fili looked great
Garbrandt too
He’s matured and is less of a cock

Aldana v Rosa was a banger
Easily FOTN

Emmet sent Mitchell to the Shadow Realm
Was like watching Lord of the Rings
Mitch the Twitch
Good to see he’s recovered

That’s the best I’ve seen Paddy
Never going to be champ but he’ll have a good career

Shavkat is the business

Pantoja dominant but also lucky he didn’t get sparked in the 5th

Leon made Colby his bitch

Machpants

I hope he gets convicted the fucking tosser, and losses millions. Ok for getting off, but then posting this sort of shit

Du Plessis vs Strickland was epic. As promised it was a war and VERY close. DDPs takedowns won the day and both guys looked like they’d been in car wrecks afterwards.

Due to me being really put off by some of Izzy’s dickhead behaviour of late my interest is more in the sport itself than what any ramifications from this bout mean to him directly.

Both fighters tonight showed serious class afterwards.

DDP got 2, 3, 4 IMO. Strickland dominant in the first round and did well to come back and get the last round

I expect to see Adesanya v DDP at 300

Amazing comeback from Magny

Tough night for the Canadians

Duluth

Strickland is telling everyone he won and is now blaming a headbutt for the loss. Zzzzzz

He should blame his passivity in the middle of the fight. DDP was taking plenty of risks closing the distance and was getting caught plenty but Strickland was happy to back off. That also made the takedowns easier

It seemed the tactic was to rely on DDP running out of gas. Someone in his corner needed to let him know the score was possibly 2-1 DDP at the end of the 3rd. If he pulled the trigger in round 4 instead of 5 he would've won. So much quicker and accurate on the feet

I thought this fight would've been lot more interesting

So I suspect Izzy v DDP at 300. Meanwhile I think Strickland will try and avoid fighting, keep complaining and try to keep his name in the media for the winner of that fight. I doubt he'd want to risk a fight with Khamzat for no1 contender

Going completely from memory I think Strickland got the first two rounds didn’t he ?

This was a tough one in one sense as I am a fan of both of them.

DDP may struggle against Izzy due to his reach but then according to the stats his ( DDP ) reach is 75 inches ? He is virtually identical to Strickland in size but looked so much smaller and more compact due to their difference in stances to a casual observer.
