    Victors right history but I thought Izzy blew that rather than DDP winning it

    DDP was gassed when Izzy was striking from the outside but when Izzy had DDP on the ropes he closed the gap rather than reinforce his successes

        And Adesanya speaking well in the post-match press conference, when he's being genuine he's easy to be a fan of.

          CKB might have another UFC fighter tomorrow

          Cam Rowston is fighting on the Contender series. It's on espn, it looks like his fight should be ~11:30am nzt

          As you can see from the video above he has a height advantage. He is a huge underdog though. People seem to really rate his opponent Finney who was on the 2023 contender series

            A lady KO in the Contender series yesterday. From a huge underdog too

            Mick Maynards face is funny.. he generally doesn't react much

              I've been working my way through all of the UFCs while gymming/doing house chores
              Some absolute ripper fights

                    @JK

                    Probably the CKB fighter most likely to get through Contender series this year (Tau has a tough fight next week)

                          Tau fights on the contender series later today. Probably around 2pm on espn2 in nz

                          Haven't seen too much of him but he has good power for the division. CKB seem very confident about his ability.. odds are favouring his opponent currently (2.8 v 1.38 on betfair)

                            Great fight. Smith faster and with more reach, he got the first two rounds. Tau had a great 3rd round

                            I assume he's lost but maybe has a chance at a contract as a loser?


                            Edit nope. Got some praise for the comeback but no contract

                              UFC 306 Noche

                              What an amazing spectacle

                              Was like watching a fight from the future from a 90s action flick

                              Epic

                              Souza v Jauregi was a top fight and finish
                              Great finish from Bahamondes
                              Ribovics v Zellhuber was an all-time classsic
                              Lopes looked very good against Ortega but could/should have finished it in the first
                              Schevchenko took Grasso's soul

                              Merab pulled off the unexpected. Made O'Malley look ordinary

                              Going to be interesting to see how both fighters go in their next fights

                                Just caught up on this yesterday as was travelling over the weekend. Sphere looks amazing, definitely becoming a bucket list attraction.

                                Awesome fights up until the co-main events, got bored during the women's match, just not a great spectacle for the uneducated fan like me. Merab/O'Malley was only slightly better maybe more for Merab's antics, the dude is hilarious. O'Malley just didn't fire until too late, could have been a hell of a match had he gone with those front kicks early.

                                Not particularly excited about 307 though keen to see Harrison in action again, 308 is where it is at though. Need to clear my calendar for that

                                  Tau is a bit of a beast eh! Just kept going forward and I was so impressed he didnt tap in the 2nd as he looked to be in a pretty shit place there but got out of it really well. Massive last round but just not enough.

                                    Looks like O'Malley was injured, hence stifled performance

                                      I don't understand why he took the fight then, money problems in the background? Seems odd, I understand why a challenger might take a chance but not a champion

                                        The French fight night tomorrow morning looks like a decent card for a non ppv

                                        CKB's Jousset has a tough fight up against Bryan Battle. I think Jousset is better than the betting market thinks

                                          Some really well matched bouts

                                          Hopefully we’ll have finishes not decisions
