Glover v Procházka
He takes risks but I think it will pay off for ProcházkaShevchenko v Santos
This might be a dud? Santos hits hard so Valentina might use her kicks to keep the distance. Hope VS wants to put on a show.Weili v Joanna
3 round fight should favour Weili, but I think Joanna use her length better this timeGo the Aussies on the card. Really looking forward to watching Jack Della Maddalena, he has huge potential

Glover v Jiri was one of the most entertaining fights ever. Both guys looked like the had lost multiple times. The tactical errors and Jiri's loose defence helped as much as the amazing chins and technical skills
Shevchenko got a shock and escaped with a narrow win. These two will fight again soon and it won't be close if Valentina has a more pragmatic game plan.
Joanna is one of my favourite fighters. Was hoping she could have another title run before retiring
Matthews looked like a beast. The best he's ever looked
Jack Della Maddalena could rise up the ranks very quickly. Good to see him have to escape a tough situation

Jiri v Jan, Czech v Poland headlining a European card would be huge

They’ve both been tweeting about it

That’s the best Prelim card I’ve ever seen
And the Main card did not disappoint

So many good finishes
The sound of this knee hitting

Kiwi Carlos Ulberg is coming up after the next fight (I guess ~1:30 on espn)
A mixed start to his UFC career so far. His first fight he didn’t manage his gas tank well and got KO’d. The second fight was much better but very conservative.
Hopefully we see another big improvement
One thing I want to see is better feints. The best guys at CKB are so natural and fluid with their feints and it creates opportunities. So far Carlos’s feints are jerky and obvious. He trains with the best, hopefully he’s a good student

It's the biggest card of the year this weekend. Headlined by a kiwi, co-main is an Aussie.
Volk is probably the featherweight goat if he wins his fight
This is video is decent - Izzy and Volk making their picks for each fight. They're both good at making this sort of content

@MiketheSnow who are you picking? Max & Cannonier? You can probably guess my picks
Riddell & Turner to be fight of the night if it goes beyond one round
Go CKB, Robbie, Pedro & Ian Garry

Hall in Early Prelims
Tavares, Miller, Garry, Turner in Prelims
O’Malley, Barberena, Strickland, Holloway, Cannonier in the Mains

Riddell got caught early and didn't get a chance to recover. Shit. Turner was likely to win anyway but I was hoping this would last a few rounds
Volk ended all the chat from Holloway fans. Max overwhelms people with his volume.. but so does Volk plus he has the speed and power edge. I have no interest in a 4th fight unless it's a few years away
Volkanovski the featherweight GOAT now? It's him or Aldo.
Izzy with another fight that some people find boring.
Adesanya is in a weird place where the fights keep following the same pattern. He's a great counter striker so no one bum rushes him any more. Then his feints mesmerise people and they struggle work their way in or go for a takedown. Izzy wins a comfortable decision. Repeat.
Pereira knows what he can do in a kickboxing fight with Izzy. So that fight should look different. Great storyline too. Adesanya by Submission
Lawler v Barberena was a classic no defence, stand and bang fight.
Good that Cowboy retired. He's been taking some damage in recent years
Dricus du Plessis is a beast. Would love to see him fight with a more deliberate game plan.
