    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

        I've been working my way through all of the UFCs while gymming/doing house chores
        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)

                  Another fighter in the UFC

                  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

                                          Up to 2006 now in my UFC catchup. This is one of the craziest fights I've seen, something just nuts about guys that love fighting this much,
