Awesome performance from Volkanovski
3rd round was crazy. No one gets out of Ortega submission attempts. He does it twice in the round and still manages to win the round.
Ortega deserves credit for surviving the 4thOne of the best fights of the year
Diaz was slightly better than I was expecting. I was surprised that Lawler was so content to stay in range. Pleased with the Lawler win after Diaz switched weight classes
Dvalishvili had a crazy comeback
Great card

Quick turnaround for Hooker. He's fighting on the next PPV at the end of October
Islam Makhachev is a tough matchup. Striker v wrestler. There's been a lot of talk that people have been avoiding fighting him. I'm not convinced that's true.. I think the top 7-8 LW's have been fighting each other and Islam just wasn't in that group until recently
Big test for Islam too. Despite being highly rated, he's never fought anyone in the top 10
This means Hooker has no MIQ spot. I believe that's 5 CKB fighters currently in the US with no return date. CKB opening a US gym is looking even more likely

Fun fight in the weekend between Costa and Vettori. Amazed that Costa had enough gas in the tank to win the final round
Happy that Costa lost after the weight shenanigans. Adesanya mentally broke this guy
Such a gulf between Adesanya and the rest.
Great win, performance and sportsmanship from Caceres.
Mason Jones got his first win. One to watch hopefully.

Adesanya
big gap
Rob
Big gap.
RestIn saying that i hope rob can get up vs adesanya, call me a hater but i just like rob a lot more out side the ring

It looks like fun card this afternoon. Well matched, entertaining fighters.. good for a non ppv event
Kiwi Brad Riddell is the co-main event and should be fighting around 6:15pm. It's another tough fight for him. Fiziev is a good striker, they are ranked about he same and they used to train together
Riddell has 4 UFC fights and they've all been difficult. He's lost the first round every time but gone on to win everyone. A likely candidate for fight of the night
I think Font might catch Aldo in the main event. Font has the power and I'm still suspicious off the weight cut Aldo is putting himself through
I really rate Jimmy Crute. Hopefully he comes back from the leg injury well
-
Well Fiziev will be into the top ten after that
First round was really close. Fiziev’s speed advantage was more apparent in the second. Then that kick in the 3rd
A few people were predicting Riddell was going to have a wrestle heavy attack. We didn’t see any take down attempts until the 3rd. He had some success with that before the the kick
Oh well
-
Here's the kick that ended it
Then in the main event, Aldo gets the decision v Font. The way he looks at weigh in doesn't seem to have an impact on his performance. On fight night he looks enormous
I had a terrible run on predicting results all day. The only thing I got right was that it was a fun card. Glad I didn't bet

My
predictionsguesses:Oliveira v Poirier
Nunes v Pena
Neal v Ponzinibbio
KKF v Garbrandt
Paiva v O'Malley
Emmett v Ige
Munhoz v Cruz
Sakai v Tuivasa
Gone for an upset in the main event. Oliveira by submission in the later rounds
I like KKF's chances in this one. Cody will see the red mist after getting hit, stay in the pocket and brawl, then KKF will knock him out.
Hardly an original pick but I think Garbrandt is stupid enough to repeat his previous mistakes. Also, the extra cut won't help his chin
