@MiketheSnow I assume you watch a bit of Cage Warriors? Any opinion on how Paddy Pimblett will go in the UFC?
As for the main event I hope Till wins convincingly. MW desperately needs a contender that Izzy hasn't already beaten

@duluth agree, i dont think cannonier is that guy.
but i do hope whittaker gets his shot, he very much deserves it and i think he has a shot at victory.

Yeah, Whittaker with another game plan is a massive chance. I hope it happens.. I suspect it won't though
That's the only rematch that I want to see. Brunson, Costa, Gastelum etc aren't interesting
Go Till

He’s the real deal.
Jack Shore too.
Agreed, Till needs to finish Brunson

Great night of fighting
4 out of 5 for the Brits a great return
As one Liverpool door closes (Till) another one, maybe two open (Paddy and Tom)
Jack Shore quietly going about his work

Great package
But really hope that Ortega gets back to his best and beats him a week Saturday.

Picks for 266?
Volkanovski v Ortega
Shevchenko v Murphy
Diaz v Lawler
Blaydes v Rozenstruik
Andrade v Calvillo
Moraes v Dvalishvili
Hooker v Haqparast
Abdurakhimov v Daukaus
Not that confident about the main event though.
Volk is the most underrated champ but Ortega is a scary opponent. He can go from nothing to a submission so quickly. Also his striking has improved recently.
Plus Volkanovski has had a limited camp because of gov policies in Aus. If he turns up as well prepared as normal I'll back him to outlast Ortega and get a stoppage late
Shevchenko is the best female MMA fighter and she'll win however she wants
I hope Diaz puts up a good fight. The signs aren't looking good
Good matchup. I think Rozenstruik might be slightly underrated at the moment. Only lost against the two best fighters in the division. All depends on how he copes with Blaydes takedowns
A dangerous fight for Hooker. All the other ranked LW fighters don't want to fight.. they're waiting on the outcomes of some other matchups. So it's a big risk with little upside
Both fighters had visa issues and shitty travel itineraries. Hooker had some other external bollocks during his camp. I expect a pissed off Hooker to be more aggressive than normal -

@bovidae did he win..?

@steven-harris By unanimous decision

Awesome performance from Volkanovski
3rd round was crazy. No one gets out of Ortega submission attempts. He does it twice in the round and still manages to win the round.
Ortega deserves credit for surviving the 4thOne of the best fights of the year
Diaz was slightly better than I was expecting. I was surprised that Lawler was so content to stay in range. Pleased with the Lawler win after Diaz switched weight classes
Dvalishvili had a crazy comeback
Great card

All of the above
7 out of 8
Well played

Quick turnaround for Hooker. He's fighting on the next PPV at the end of October
Islam Makhachev is a tough matchup. Striker v wrestler. There's been a lot of talk that people have been avoiding fighting him. I'm not convinced that's true.. I think the top 7-8 LW's have been fighting each other and Islam just wasn't in that group until recently
Big test for Islam too. Despite being highly rated, he's never fought anyone in the top 10
This means Hooker has no MIQ spot. I believe that's 5 CKB fighters currently in the US with no return date. CKB opening a US gym is looking even more likely
