CKB’s Kevin Jousset looked promising again in his 2nd UFC fight. Very accurate with his striking. The UFC will be very happy to have another French fighter to push
Rountree had a good finish
Real strong jab
Looked very relaxed behind it
Lead uppercut followed up by a beautiful overhand left ( just checking I got that right….I mean left….I mean…..) fucken southpaws.
Great timing and power.

Sorry, I was talking about Jousset.

I should have realised. There was no jabs in that clip

Great card
Some top, top fights and great finishes
Fili looked great
Garbrandt too
He’s matured and is less of a cockAldana v Rosa was a banger
Easily FOTNEmmet sent Mitchell to the Shadow Realm
Was like watching Lord of the Rings
Mitch the Twitch
Good to see he’s recoveredThat’s the best I’ve seen Paddy
Never going to be champ but he’ll have a good careerShavkat is the business
Pantoja dominant but also lucky he didn’t get sparked in the 5th
Leon made Colby his bitch

I hope he gets convicted the fucking tosser, and losses millions. Ok for getting off, but then posting this sort of shit

Du Plessis vs Strickland was epic. As promised it was a war and VERY close. DDPs takedowns won the day and both guys looked like they’d been in car wrecks afterwards.
Due to me being really put off by some of Izzy’s dickhead behaviour of late my interest is more in the sport itself than what any ramifications from this bout mean to him directly.
Both fighters tonight showed serious class afterwards.

Strickland is telling everyone he won and is now blaming a headbutt for the loss. Zzzzzz
He should blame his passivity in the middle of the fight. DDP was taking plenty of risks closing the distance and was getting caught plenty but Strickland was happy to back off. That also made the takedowns easier
It seemed the tactic was to rely on DDP running out of gas. Someone in his corner needed to let him know the score was possibly 2-1 DDP at the end of the 3rd. If he pulled the trigger in round 4 instead of 5 he would've won. So much quicker and accurate on the feet
I thought this fight would've been lot more interesting
So I suspect Izzy v DDP at 300. Meanwhile I think Strickland will try and avoid fighting, keep complaining and try to keep his name in the media for the winner of that fight. I doubt he'd want to risk a fight with Khamzat for no1 contender

DDP got 2, 3, 4 IMO. Strickland dominant in the first round and did well to come back and get the last round
I expect to see Adesanya v DDP at 300
Amazing comeback from Magny
Tough night for the Canadians
Going completely from memory I think Strickland got the first two rounds didn’t he ?
This was a tough one in one sense as I am a fan of both of them.
DDP may struggle against Izzy due to his reach but then according to the stats his ( DDP ) reach is 75 inches ? He is virtually identical to Strickland in size but looked so much smaller and more compact due to their difference in stances to a casual observer.

Round 2 is the round that decided the fight. 1 & 5 clear for Strickland, 3 & 4 for DDP. Round 2 was very close
I had round two for DDP. All three judges gave him the round too
Yeah fair enough, wasn’t sure if the takedowns were convincing ( plus the internet shat itself and I missed a few bits )
If Strickland won I wouldn’t have been surprised though, one judge thought this too.

Yeah his wild technique plays into Adesanya's counter striking style too. But who knows? We don't know if the the last shitty Izzy fight was a one off or the start of a slide?
He was way off the pace in that fight and there were stories coming out of the camp about him getting dominated by Jousset (a WW with a couple of UFC fights).
