Fight Island is paid for and booked!

What are your predictions for the main card?

Usman vs Masvidal
Volkanovski vs Holloway
Yan vs Aldo
Andrade vs Namajunas
Ribas vs VanZant

Hmmm.. I just realised thats all the favourites. Yan/Aldo was the toughest pick.. I'm fairly confident in Volkanovski

Masvidal to batter Usman
Holloway to retain his title

Just getting over an early hangover....

Thug Rose!

Yan was just too good.

Ribas sent VanZant into Hopefully either “unauthorised” sextapes or playboy.com..

Holloway was robbed And the respect Alex wanted is not really going to be forthcoming after that.

Will rewatch the prelims tomorrow night when I’m a bit more sober lol

Can't help but feel like CKB has gone from face to heel, to use wrestling terms. Hope Izzy can put a convincing and entertaining win over Costa to get them back into the casual fans good books.

Yep to all of that.

Has VanZant had a boob job in preparation?

Usman showed how good he is.

Great KO win for Davey Grant.

Jiri acts like a cock but great finish.

@MiketheSnow I think a couple years again now on the bolt ons.

How did you guys score the rounds in the Volkanovski/Holloway fight?

I was expecting a 48-47 win to Holloway

1 & 2 Holloway
4 & 5 Volkanovski

I had Holloway edging round 3 but I can see how an argument could be made for Volkanovski in that round.
I thought the commentary was too positive for Holloway during round 3

The judges scorecards were a surprise. Two of them went 3,4 & 5 to Volkanovski... ok, not what I scored but I can see how that is possible.

The judge that gave it to Holloway gave him 1,2 & 5. So all three judges gave round 3 to Alexander. Did anyone else think Max won round 5?

In the press conference White said that an event in this part of the world was a possibility before the end of the year.

He specifically mentioned sports in NZ having crowds back.

Some good fights and finishes in the mi-week card

Adesanya v Costa still doesn't have a location. It was pencilled in for Vegas but the situation keeps changing in the US.. Izzy still talking up the possibility of NZ
