    Any hints and tips on sourcing it ... ?

    BT sport here is now expecting people to subscribe to their channels for the privilege of being able to buy it ....

    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

    ..and it looks like they have another UFC fighter - Brad Riddell

    Not officially confirmed but it's been reported that he'll be making his UFC debut in Melbourne. He has a Muay Thai background.

    There's a few videos on youtube of him.

    A couple of hype videos are up for UFC 243

    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.

    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
