Can see chandler gassing and getting knocked out by McGregor to be honest

Derrick Lewis is finished. Might as well go to Bellator and get a nice payday before he calls it quits

Who we got in Vokanovski & Mackhachev?

I feel like its going to be alot closer than what most people think.

As an Aussie I’ll be cheering on Volk big time tomorrow but I’m under no illusions that it’ll be extremely hard. Elite level wrestling is by far the best base in the sport and Islam is so strong and big he should probably be fighting at welterweight so there is every chance he could be too strong and just rag doll Volk. Either way as a fight fan I’m pumped though the only wrestler we’ve seen Volk go up against was Mendes which wasn’t much of a test Volk was up in about 5 seconds the couple of times he got taken down. Also Islam has never faced a fighter of this skill level or fight IQ before so the unknown on both sides has me excited.

Thought this was tonight. BT's website says 1am on Saturday 11th Feb, which has already passed. Why not say Sunday, bun of idiots

Fuck knows what they were thinking putting an interim championship of Volk’s title on the line right before he fights. There is no energy or excitement for this fight at all.

Rosario · « **Reply #30611 on:** February 12, 2023, 04:53:32 am »

Volk vs Rodriguez is an interesting fight though

Rosario · « **Reply #30612 on:** February 12, 2023, 05:58:48 am »

Damn thought there was a small chance it might’ve been 2-2 heading into the 5th. But I’m also biased as fuck

Flaccido Dongingo · « **Reply #30613 on:** February 12, 2023, 09:16:47 am »

Volkanovski is a beast.

Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero · « **Reply #30614 on:** February 12, 2023, 10:37:25 am »

Boss card that. Volk still P4P best fighter for me. Brilliant attitude showed his wrestling and humble at the end. He deffo underestimated Islam's striking

xbugawugax · « **Reply #30615 on:** February 12, 2023, 11:31:59 am »

story of the night

volk underestimated islam striking

islam underestimated volks wrestling

as an islam fan, i think that islam loses it if goes any longer. Volk vs milner in the lactate test please

absolutely relentless cardio from volk

there surely will be a sequel unless tomato head bends down to please irish whiskey dude.

Islam was gassed in the fifth which I was very surprised about. Don't think I ever saw Khabib get gassed, and Islam is supposed to be better than him. Also bad look at the end getting ground and pounded on. Volkanovski is little tank, he'd give any LW problems.

Bob Sacamano · « **Reply #30617 on:** February 12, 2023, 02:33:34 pm »

Turns out it was Islam’s length more than his strength that mattered. Volk just couldn’t close the distance without getting tagged coming in.

Very impressed with both fighters.

Good fight, Volk gave it everything he had. Hope we don't get a rematch though, be arsed with two divisions getting held up.

Not a chance

Like the difference between a trained bear and a wild one,Khabib had about a dozen levels of aggression & he usually started at 12.

Decent card this weekend, and of course the return of the (arguably) the GOAT. No idea if Jones will have any ring rust but he's taken the most dangerous fight there is, fancy Gane on a decision.

Darren Till released from UFC (at his request). His career has really nosedived since the loss to Woodley, guy just never recovered.

Countless knee, shoulder and other injuries not helped. Wonder if he will go down the Bellator route, or if he thinks his body is too damaged for it now and has other plans.

I can see him getting knee surgery because his knees are shot, Khamzat said as much. Then probably getting on the juice to help him recover while he’s out of the testing pool.

Flaccido Dongingo · « **Reply #30627 on:** March 1, 2023, 11:53:27 am »

1-5 in his last 5 fights, not a great recent record, all top tier opponents though in his defence.

rawcusk8 · « **Reply #30628 on:** March 1, 2023, 01:11:14 pm »

Hope for his own sake he packs it in completely, his body seemingly can’t handle the physical demands.

Moving on to this weekend I’m eagerly awaiting the return of Jones, wonder what level of performance he brings given his absence.

Crazy to think how many new fans UFC has got in recent years, and most will never have seen Jon Jones fight.

Hope he loses.

Till says he asked to be removed to sort some stuff out and that he will be back.

Can't see anything but him walking through Gane. He's an utter prick but I think he's just the most complete fighter there is.

He arguably lost his last two fights at LHW and that was 3 years ago. He's 35 now, rusty and moving up in weight, I think it will be a lot closer than people think.

Cyril Gane aint no walkover either, he's better than any of Jones's last four opponents.

Rosario · « **Reply #30634 on:** March 4, 2023, 01:27:12 am »

It’ll be even on the feet but unless Gane has improved his wrestling which is unlikely Jones shouldn’t have any trouble getting him down and keeping him there.

This Gardbrandt fight is one of the worst fights I've ever seen. Your man Jones has landed 8 strikes total in the whole thing. The two of them have danced the entire 3rd round. Literally nothing else has happened.

Would be fun but pretty sure his coach confirmed Chimaev is moving up to middleweight.

Mexican MMA is on a roll! Need a PPV there this year.
