    That’s the best Prelim card I’ve ever seen

    And the Main card did not disappoint

    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

    Well we didn’t get to see much from Ulberg because he got the KO early

    Good result

    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.

    Haven’t been paying attention and just noticed how good tomorrow mornings London card is. So many fun fights

    Go the Brits. Hopefully Wood, Jones and Pimblett put on a show. Good tests for Craig and Aspinall

    Great card

    KKF had a couple of chances, couldn't quite finish it off. The slight speed disadvantage was always going to be tough to overcome

    The chat about the Lewis stoppage has overshadowed how good Pavlovich looked

    I want to see Shevchenko v Nunes III. Despite the judges I think they are currently 1-1. Valentina is the female goat IMO

    Think KKF will be better for this loss

    He’s got the goods to be Champ

    Good stoppage for me too

    He was about to take a serious beating on his back

    The third fight in the trilogy would be massive
