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

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

    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

                                    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,

                                      Good effort from Rountree. He was quicker than I thought. AP was brutal in that 4th round

                                        Yeah he was a worthy opponent.

                                        But man he got battered in the 4th.

                                        Pennington was gipped IMHO. She smashed Pena.

                                        Harrison had to work for it but will come back better.

                                        Buckley v Wonderboy was a great watch.

                                        Great win for Spann

                                          Yeah it was a better fight than I expected. Gee that 4th round was killer. He sure too some hits.
