Excited for how good Tyson Pedro might become. He’s mentally tough after working through injuries. He’s recently joined CKB and is moving to Auckland full time. Even just the sparring partners will be massive for his career
The MW fight was fun because of their flaws. Luke is tough.

Wow. I thought Edwards had a chance but the fight wasn’t go to plan
Down 3-1, 1min left and he pulls out a perfect head kick
Do a stadium event in London for the rematch, or maybe even the overdue Edwards v Jorge fight
Extraordinary finish. Would have been behind on all the scorecards before that.
I loved Rockholds fight and interview as well.

Arguably one of the best out there in any sportHe can be very good. My complaint about him is that sometimes he concentrates on one fighter too much and it makes close fights seem one sided. Understandable though, he’s acting like a fan and he’s worked with a lot of these guys
Felder & Bisping are also entertaining and informative. Shame rugby isn’t as good at turning former athletes into quality commentators

The first UFC in France has a couple of good fights considering it's not a PPV
Whittaker should be too good for any middleweight not called Adesanya
Don't care who wins the HW fight, I like both of them. Gane more skillful than most HWs will probably outlast Tuivasa
Jourdain v Wood could be the most entertaining fight

Very entertaining evening with awesome atmosphere
Couple of great fights
-
Tuivasa had a pretty good fight but Gane was awesome. Took some risks to get the finish, not the usual Gane fight.
Whittaker way too good for Vettori
The French debut went well

One job
Make weight
You bitch
Come on Kevin, knock him back to the Middle Ages

Late to the thread……
Gane is huge, conditioned, powerful yet cautious. Kind of like a latter day Lennox Lewis.
The punch he caught from Tuivasa looked pretty innocuous to the naked eye but apparently it was a genuine knockdown. He went to town on him after that though, completely outclassed.
I can’t wait for a ( hopeful ) rematch between him and Ngannou.

As much as he’s a knob, Chimaev was awesome
What do they do with him now? Surely he should only be considered a middleweight now?
There's an argument for putting him up against Whittaker right now. I think I fight vs Costa would be fun though
Make him go through Costa and then Whittaker to get a title shot
I think he'd beat Costa and lose to Whittaker (especially if it's a 5 rounder)
