      Yeah, I managed to find them. Excellent card.

      I msut say though, watching when you know the results and not live just isnt the same.

      In other news, CMac seems to be saying all the right things after his recent off the rails ... although maybe that's just for the sentence ..

          Retired from rugby due to toe and ankle injuries.

          Unless Haskell can get the first shot in he'll be fairly easy to dismantle.

            According to a poster on planet Rugby he has a judo and bjj background?
            Agree playing flanker at the level he did plus being 34 probably means he’s fairly broken.

              The China fight night was more entertaining than I was expecting.

              Zhang ran through Andrade to become the first Chinese champ. She looks big for the division. Very accurate when she swarmed her too, great elbows and knees

              But the fight I cared about was Kai Kara-France.

              Because of his power he has a great highlight reel. This fight went the distance and probably helped his reputation more than another big KO.
              I thought he clearly won all 3 rounds but De La Rosa was always dangerous and never went away

              He wants to fight in Melbourne in 5 weeks. I would assume that's unlikely (a shame because I'll be going to that one)

              Auckland's City Kickboxing is building a good roster

                          I'm looking forward to Hooker vs Iaquinta as much as the main event

                          The kiwi-ish title fight should be fun too

                              Hyped for this. Like both fighters for different reasons but I'm leaning towards Izzy for support and prediction.

                                Same. Will probably cheer for Adesanya because it’s better for the sport in NZ.
                                Hoping for a big card in Auckland next year

                                  Any predictions for the main event?

                                  I have no strong opinion.

                                  Maybe Whittaker? I don’t think he’ll let the fight stay at the Adesanya range.

                                    If he's fully fit, then Whittaker.

                                    If not, Adesanya will exploit it quickly.

                                    Al v Dan could be the fight of the night though.

                                      Whittaker certainly looked fit & ready in the open workout today

                                        In Melbourne for the fight and just watched the weigh-ins. The old style genuine weighing are so much better for the fans

                                        Aussie crowd strangely quiet. Too early? I assume they’ll be drunk tomorrow despite the early start

                                        Plenty of boos for Israel

                                        Ragin Al is tiny next to Hooker
