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

French crowd sounded great. Must be so loud in person with the roof etc
Battle was impressive, super quick. Jousset had the edge on power but the damage slowly built up. He seems to feint a lot less than other ckb fighters
I wasn't picking Moicano to win but he dominated BSD in the first round. He had another great interview after the fight
Ziam ahd the most violent KO of the night
-
Great event
Some really good fights
Duncan and Barez fights were fun

Good effort from Rountree. He was quicker than I thought. AP was brutal in that 4th round
Yeah he was a worthy opponent.
But man he got battered in the 4th.
Pennington was gipped IMHO. She smashed Pena.
Harrison had to work for it but will come back better.
Buckley v Wonderboy was a great watch.
Great win for Spann
