Always impressed at how insightful and intelligent the fighters are
Victors right history but I thought Izzy blew that rather than DDP winning it
DDP was gassed when Izzy was striking from the outside but when Izzy had DDP on the ropes he closed the gap rather than reinforce his successes

And I was way off my predictions

CKB might have another UFC fighter tomorrow
Cam Rowston is fighting on the Contender series. It's on espn, it looks like his fight should be ~11:30am nzt
As you can see from the video above he has a height advantage. He is a huge underdog though. People seem to really rate his opponent Finney who was on the 2023 contender series

Kiwi looking to welcome UFC 'back to the realm of Tūmatauenga'
The Kiwi mixed martial artist will fight for a UFC contract this week.
Tau fights on the contender series later today. Probably around 2pm on espn2 in nz
Haven't seen too much of him but he has good power for the division. CKB seem very confident about his ability.. odds are favouring his opponent currently (2.8 v 1.38 on betfair)

UFC 306 Noche
What an amazing spectacle
Was like watching a fight from the future from a 90s action flick
Epic
Souza v Jauregi was a top fight and finish
Great finish from Bahamondes
Ribovics v Zellhuber was an all-time classsic
Lopes looked very good against Ortega but could/should have finished it in the first
Schevchenko took Grasso's soulMerab pulled off the unexpected. Made O'Malley look ordinary
Going to be interesting to see how both fighters go in their next fights

Just caught up on this yesterday as was travelling over the weekend. Sphere looks amazing, definitely becoming a bucket list attraction.
Awesome fights up until the co-main events, got bored during the women's match, just not a great spectacle for the uneducated fan like me. Merab/O'Malley was only slightly better maybe more for Merab's antics, the dude is hilarious. O'Malley just didn't fire until too late, could have been a hell of a match had he gone with those front kicks early.
Not particularly excited about 307 though keen to see Harrison in action again, 308 is where it is at though. Need to clear my calendar for that

Great fight. Smith faster and with more reach, he got the first two rounds. Tau had a great 3rd round
I assume he's lost but maybe has a chance at a contract as a loser?
Edit nope. Got some praise for the comeback but no contract
Tau is a bit of a beast eh! Just kept going forward and I was so impressed he didnt tap in the 2nd as he looked to be in a pretty shit place there but got out of it really well. Massive last round but just not enough.

Looks like O'Malley was injured, hence stifled performance

Some really well matched bouts
Hopefully we’ll have finishes not decisions
