Huh really? I didn't see that. Who was it between? It's a joke because Volk deserves the chance to test himself.

Rodriguez vs Emmett

I understand having a number one contender fight but to name an interim champion on the night Volk goes for double champ status feels ridiculous and a little disrespectful. Yes he’s a massive underdog and I doubt anyone will be picking him to beat Islam but still feels like if he does pull the upset off they’ve taken a bit of shine off his moment.

You're 100% right it is disrespectful. Volk has cleared the division, he deserves the chance to test himself. If it was someone like Conor this wouldn't be happening but it probably profits the UFC in some way so they will have it.

So clever from Alex to not just jump on it and pick his shots. No class from Izzy at the end of course.
3-0 no doubt who is the better fighter!

What did Izzy do at the end?

Pereira is a scary dude, third win against Adesanya now. But I think Whittaker is a much harder matchup for him.

I think Rob beats him, he isn’t stupid enough to stand with him.

He has every right to think that he could have still fought, so I don't really blame him. But personally felt that was a great stoppage.
That was a great card.

Erin is going to be a future champ for sure. What a dominant performance.
Poirier Chandler's round 1 was definitely among the rounds of the year IMO.
Weili proving again that she's streets ahead.
Had Izzy winning before the fight, I underestimated Alex. Monstrous.

Feel like a lot of the fighters beat him. Don't get the feeling he is any good at grappling or wrestling.

Khamzat would rag doll him, feel middleweight is his natural fighting weight too.

Very enjoyable card, some great knockouts. Well done Pereira, was a close fight but brilliant way to end it. Would love to see him against Khamzat

Yeah his grappling is sub par, he even got his shit rocked end of round 1. Adesanya fought with fear. I think Khamzat and Whittaker both deal with him.

Chandler is box office, never been in a bad fight. Just wish he fought smarter.

Izzy played with fire and got caught.

He fought on the back foot far too much & with his back against the cage too.

All it was going to take was one clean shot from Perreira in those circumstances.

If Izzy had good ground game - this would have been an easy win for him, just as it was for Blachowicz against Izzy.

Really sad news about Rumble Johnson, only 38 way too young.

On a more upbeat note, Fight Disciples are almost 100% sure next UFC in the UK will be March/April and will take place at Cardiff stadium. Obviously Leon will headline, but hopefully there'll be another title match on the card and good representation from the British fighters.

That was a great card.

Yeah in hindsight he did, I let my dislike of him get the better of me there. I've been a fan of Alex before he got in the ufc so was made up to see him finish Izzy again! I don't think his ground game is as bad as people make out but Rob and Khamzat would probably win against him, he is fucking huge for the weight though so I could see a world where he knocks them out. If it wasn't for Glover I could see him moving up after beating Izzy for a 4th time.

Horrible to hear about Rumble, I started to get into mma just before he got into the ufc so he's always been around for me. Seeing him put on his insta how scared he was really shook me.

Artem Lobov suing Conor McGregor is hilarious. He was at the forefront of the whole Conor v Khabib rivalry and it's because of him it all started, and now they've fallen out over money off all things ;D

What a card that was!  :wave

A calf Slicer!

Gane couldn't rock Tai with uppercuts and Sergei did it with his jabs, fucking hell.

Wonderboy giving that performance at 39! Wow! Huge respect for Holland too, he's got an insane chin. That first round was deffo one of the rounds of the year. Holland took some heavy shots and got a hell of a beating in that 4th round. Was a 10-7 in my eye, but definitely at least a 10-8. Fight of the year contender for sure.

The UFC just keeps on getting better and better.

Paddy is becoming unbearable

Ah i dunno mate. He wants to pummel Bernado Silva so he'll do for me :)

From an article in the Echo:


Talking about who he wanted to single out for a fight, die-hard Liverpool fan Pinblett said: “Last season, when he first got signed, it was Bruno Fernandes, ’cause of how overrated he was.

“But now, it’s Bernardo Silva, lad. I don’t know anyone who likes Bernardo Silva, lad." He added. “He’s an unbelievable footballer. He’s a proper baller. But he’s a horrible wrong’un. He’s a piece of s**t.

“That time when they gave us [Liverpool] a guard of honour, and he just stood there. Come on lad.”
