    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

          Some absolute ripper fights

            That was a powerhouse shot

                @JK

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

                    Hopefully Tau does the same 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

                                        French crowd sounded great. Must be so loud in person with the roof etc

                                        Battle was impressive, super quick. Jousset had the edge on power but the damage slowly built up. He seems to feint a lot less than other ckb fighters

                                        I wasn't picking Moicano to win but he dominated BSD in the first round. He had another great interview after the fight

                                        Ziam ahd the most violent KO of the night

                                          Some really good fights

                                          Duncan and Barez fights were fun
