Du Plessis
Pantoja

I'm curious about these picks

The saffa to drag Whittaker into a brawl? Pantoja because of their history?

Yes
And yes

@MiketheSnow can't see it. I think Whittaker get his first ko in a while

Turner misses weight

Idiot

Go home Izzy, you’re being a cock.

@MN5 hes terrible aye....

Dircus looks horrendous on the feet and scores a powerful KO win haha.
Really looks like an amateur. Tough though, Like a Vettori who can actually hurt people. May give adesanya Trouble but just seems way too stiff and slow.

Volk way too good. Great win for Hooker chin seems to be back.

Duluth

Great card, good battles and a few upsets

Volk mauled Yair. Hard to see where the next challenge is at this weight

Hooker turned things around after a tough start. Not sure how that was a split decision, at least the result was correct. Finished the fight with a broken bone in his arm (the same wrist that cancelled the last fight?)

Du Plessis winning is great for the division

Happy I was wrong about Lawler

Really classless. That bizarre racist rant was cringeworthy. Let the man have his moment for fuck sake. Beating Whitaker like he did is huge, his awkward defence will be tough for anyone to breach.

Great afternoon of fights, bloody entertaining.

Bo Nickal showed real stopping power.

Hooker showed immense heart and toughness.

Volk too savvy and tough.

Blame the UFC, it was pre-planned. On certain fights they've been bringing in the next challenger/current champ into the octagon to set up the next fight. It has always been cringey. Particularly because one guy is fresh and one guy just had a fight. I've never seen it 'work'

Preplanned or not there wasn’t any excuse for Izzy to act like that. du Plessis on the other hand reacted really well.

What an absolute cock bringing all that race shit into things.

@MN5 this goes back further between them. He questioned how African Adesanya was. It’s dumb shit but it keeps some people engaged I guess

I guess I just long for the good old wholesome days when Mike Tyson said he was going to eat Lennox Lewis’s babies…..

But yeah, it’s certainly made me keen to make sure I catch UFC 293

Fair enough. I guess the promotion did it's job then

I think I'll be dipping out of following the leadup chat though. Two guys deliberately confusing the different uses of the word African (African born, African race, African resident) who probably quite like each other and will be friendly after the bout

100% agree.

Really good card all round.

Izzy’s antics though, geee i cringed pretty hard. Can’t wait to see him and Dricus fight soon!

WOW

Robbie Fucking Lawler

HOF

The highlight reel was epic
The editing was NFL Films worthy

That smile and the closed right eye

Crying the fucking rain

Bo is legit

Hooker is nails
How he took that kick is beyond belief
What a fight

Du Plessis a tad unco at times
But too much power

Izzy looked like a fucking knob

Pantoja
The Terminator
Moreno was great, but the takedowns turned it
Fight of the Night

Volk

Imperious
Fantastic

Brilliant card

Welcome back Tom Aspinall

That was impressive, so quick. Hopefully his next fight is v Gane

Craig looked good at MW too

MiketheSnow

Can't wait

UFC 291

De Lima
Bonfim
Chiesa
Ferguson
Pereira
Pereira
Gaethje

Duluth

@MiketheSnow

The match makers have done well. All of these look like they should be fun fights. No idea who wins between Jan & Pereira

I hope Ferguson wins and then quits. I doubt it happens though.. that could be a tough one to watch

Gaethje to outlast Dustin

Unfortunately the Thompson v Pereira fight is off
