<p>Has there ever been another kiwi sportsman that is a bigger star outside NZ than he is in it ? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interesting with Hunt , probably more a refection on the sport of UFC than himself though . </p> -

<p>If you accept Chess as a sport, GM Murray Chandler was in the world top 20 for much of the 80s, played for the English team back when they were the world #2 after the USSR, and is one of the very few players in history with a plus score against Kasparov (lifetime score is 2-0 in Chandler's favour, one of which was in 1985 which is the year Kasparov became world champion).</p> -

<p>Outstanding humour.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That was full of guffaws and chortles from the first word.</p> -
<p>The UFC has announced that DC is now fighting Anderson Silva. Pretty good option given how little time they had but realistically, Silva has next to no chance of winning. Even in his prime he struggled against good wrestling and DC's wrestling is far better than just good.</p>

<p>That's a joke.</p>

<p>UFC Fight Night 90<br><br>
DUFFY V CLARKE<br>
Cracking right to floor Clarke then rear naked choke to finish it in quick time (25 seconds)<br><br><br>
JOUBAN V MUHAMMAD<br>
WHAT A FIGHT!<br>
Three rounds of quality<br>
Jouban did enough in the first two rounds. Muhammad strong in the third, but Jouban's chin was solid<br>
Muhammad is one tough bastard though, with one of the weakest chin / quickest recovery combos out there<br><br><br>
NELSON V LEWIS<br>
Big Country v The Beast. Two Grizzly's going at it for 15 minutes.<br>
Lewis on split-decision. Despite Lewis' strikes, it should have gone the other way IMHO<br><br><br>
DOS ANJOS V ALVAREZ<br>
WOW!<br>
What a chin on Dos Anjos. But Alvarez was relentless and Herb Dean right to stop the barrage and stop the fight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Great card :good1:</p> -

Funny M4L<br><br>
I'm all for equal rights. Also all for the genders being different -
<p>Hunt getting beat on...I dont know the rules, but why wasnt hunt hitting him when he had him against the ring?</p>

<p>When you're against a wrestler like Brock, you want to use that hand for defence in that position, not attack.</p> -
<p>well that was my first UFC fight I've watched, and it looks a bit shit TBH....just my opinion of course.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To me it just looked like he had plenty of chances to hit him in the head when he was up against the fence</p> -

<p>Try turning off the picture and just listening to the sound</p> -
<p>UFC 200<br><br>
MILLER v GOMI<br>
Gomi punished<br><br>
MOUSASI v SANTOS<br>
Mousasi swarmed Santos and timed his shot perfectly<br><br>
SANCHEZ v LAUZON<br>
WOW! Relentless from Lauzon. First fighter to finish Sanchez with strikes<br><br>
-----<br><br>
NORTHCUTT v MARIN<br>
Good return to winning ways for Northcutt. Showed he has better ground defence, a solid chin and durability<br><br>
DILLASHAW v ASSUNCAO<br>
Dillashaw too quick and accurate. Deserved unanimous points win for TJ<br><br>
HENDRICKS v GASTELUM<br>
Average slug fest. Gastelum unanimous decision. Hendricks has fallen away quickly<br><br>
ZINGANO v PENA<br>
Pena took some punishment in the first, but then dominated Zingano for the win<br><br>
-----<br><br>
VELASQUEZ v BROWNE<br>
Velasquez too strong for Browne. Looking back to his best.<br><br>
ALDO v EDGAR<br>
Edgar busy all fight but Aldo cycled and counter struck well for the unanimous point win<br><br>
SILVA v CORMIER<br>
Fair play to Silva taking the fight on 2 days notice, but Cormier too big & powerful for him. Looked more like a Heavyweight versus a Light Heavyweight<br>
Lasted longer than I thought though<br>
Smart fight from Cormier but won no fans tonight<br>
Silva on the other hand did a lot to gild his reputation and legacy after some poor bouts<br>
Based on that conditioning - did Cormier underestimate Silva - Jones would have walked this fight. Dullard<br><br>
HUNT v LESNAR<br>
Not the barnstormer that everyone was hoping for but a good result for Lesnar after 5 years away against a very dangerous opponent<br>
Humble in victory<br>
Hunt is one tough bastard<br><br>
TATE v NUNES<br>
Excellent performance from Nunes. She's got it all<br>
The Ladies Bantamweight Merry Go Round goes on<br>
