[Duluth]

(the screenshot has a minor error, Riddell is 1-0 but the total of 10-0 is correct)

Thats a hell of record

Volkanovski has a chance to get a title in December too

He should be the early favourite for the Halberg coach of the year.. But the Halbergs only reward Olympic sports and sometimes rugby

Adesanya posted this on instagram yesterday

(prompting the usual confusion from Americans about the term 'All Black' etc)

@Duluth Did he really live in Wanganui? He has that as his location , I thought he was a JAFA

[Duluth]

@jegga I think so, he also spent time in Rotorua

Cool, I love that hes the only one with a flag and he has a tattoo of Africa on his chest. The comments on that thread are gold too.

There was a story about him on TV a few months back. His parents still live there.

Error 404

Tyson Fury doing some MMA training with Darren Till

Would love to see him have a proper crack at it. Unlikely, but maybe he wants a different challenge

What strikes me about these elite fighters is their absolute belief in their abilities, guess you have to be to compete at that level.

There's a UFC fight night in Auckland on Feb 23rd

No fights confirmed yet

Hooker will likely headline against a good ish opponent. Lee, Felder, Cerrone?

Adesanya - zero chance. He's on ppv events for the foreseeable future

Hopefully Kai Kara-France can have a quick turnaround (he's got a fight in Dec)

An outside possibility of Whittaker? Unlikely, but he should be fighting around that time. Depends what level opponent they have for him next. A Till fight would probably be in London

@Duluth
Riddell too probably.

[Duluth]

The main event for Auckland

I think Riddell vs Magomed Mustafaev is the only other fight announced so far

[Duluth]

Conor vs Cowboy in January

McGregor hasn't fought since Khabib in Oct 2018. He hasn't won since Nov 2016

Happy to see Cowboy get a good pay day.

The DC fight night had some good finishes

This from Rozenstruik was at 4:56 in the 5th. He was clearly losing but Overeem was gassed and he landed a brutal punch.

Notice the lip explode

I spoilered the injury for the squeamish
