@Rembrandt said in UFC / MMA:

Ulberg could do with some media training interview was rough.

I don't think he can be trained.. he seems oblivious to everything

Shame he dropped the "Ladies Night" nickname. They could've leaned into the ex male stripper, zoolanderish cliche

@Rembrandt said in UFC / MMA:

No way they do a trilogy with Ank or Jiri. At 38 most likely he moves to heavyweight for a final hurrah at adding some more legacy to his name. Jiri vs Ulberg for vacant belt?

Yeah he shouldn't have any interest in fighting Jiri for a 3rd time. So it all depends if he wants to move too HW now

The White House card (June 14) is what everyone wants to be on. I can imagine him taking some time off and trying for a super fight v Jones or Aspinall. No point risking all of that for another LHW defence

[Rembrandt]

Saw an interview where he doesn't think he will have to give up the LHW belt before moving to HW, his argument was that he is so active there is no need. Maybe right there but I really like the end of the double belt stuff just holds up multiple divisions.

[Rembrandt]

Dana has also confirmed the Hooker vs Arman fightnight late November is to see who will be the #1 contender for next title shot. Will be a hard ask for Hooker to beat Arman..and then Tuporia..still would love to see him have a crack

[Duluth]

This fight is from the contenders series last week. Ignore the video title.. it is probably the most entertaining fight in contender series history though. Lots of damage taken, not much defence

[Rembrandt]

Mental fight alright. Awesome end result for them both

[MiketheSnow]

Just keeps getting better

[Rembrandt]

Just watched the Mulumba / Rahiki fight. Holy shit!!! DWCS is must watch TV. Im gonna have to go through some past episodes

[MiketheSnow]

de Ridder is done

Scraped by Bobby Knuckles, barely / unfairly

Put out to pasture this weekend

[Rembrandt]

@MiketheSnow Maybe just too many fights in a short period? 5 fights in 12 months has got to take it out of you. Definitely didnt look himself. Kinda like Pereira vs Ank #1.

True

But I think they've worked him out too

[Rembrandt]

Who have we got this weekend?

Mine of the fights I'm interested in

Walker
Salkilld
Murzakanov
Almeida
Bautista
Jandiroba
Aspinall

[Duluth]

@Rembrandt

Basically the same, I’m picking Dern though

Also interested in Wood/Delgado. Picking Delgado but cheering for Wood

[MiketheSnow]

Wood
Sutherland
Klein
Aliskerov
Haqparsat
Murzakanov
Volkov
Nurmagomedov
Dern
Aspinall

[Rembrandt]

Sutherland looks like an absolute monster but just have zero idea how good he is. Glad he gets to make his debut so soon after the Perth bollocks with Tafa

[MiketheSnow]

Not a bad night of predictions : 7-2-1

Wood and Volkov fights could easily have gone the other way

Klein is nails

Some great finishes

Anticlimactic ending

[Rembrandt]

3-3-1...

Disappointing taste at the end but some awesome fights.

Walkers' 4 heel-hooks in a row? How on earth is that possible? Definitely keeping an eye on him
Glad of Volkov's win even though it didn't look like he won. Big guys just lean on an opponent for 15 mins and expect to win only harm the sport overall so great to see that scoring emphasis change.

Some great decisive officiating in regards to fouls completely different from the last couple of events. Glad to see this improving.

This one actually had me feeling a little ill at the sound. Commentators got pretty quiet there too. Amazing that folk get up from this.
