The usual Izzy video but with a few boxing cameo's. A short chat with Tyson Fury, plus David Nyika & Joseph Parker
I wouldn't be surprised if the French MMA fighter towards the end of the video turns up on the Contender series soon. Bareman has hinted that he might have a couple of fighters on it this season (presumably Navajo Sterling)

Ultimate Fighter still interesting enough to watch
Been some very good cards

UFC Fight Night
Fight of the Year contender between Vettori and CannonierCannonier's cardio and Vettori's chin made the fight.. but Vettori looked so easy to hit. JC recovered well after getting rocked twice early
Not sure what it means for the division though. There still seem to be a big gap back from Adesanya/Whittaker to the rest now... unless Du Plessis is better than I think (a tri nations top three??)
Maybe Cannonier should fight the loser of Whittaker v Du Plessis?

Some great bouts and finishes in the Main Card of UFC Fight Night : Emmett v Topuria
Brendan Allen looked good
Huge KO from Onama
Barber 2.0 looked vastly improved
Masterclass from Topuria in an absolute battle -
Elves is not dead
Comeback of the Year contender
Amazing
Sean Strickland is a legend
On the eye poke
Bisping: Talk to me about those eye pokes. How hurt were you in Round 1?
Strickland: Oh man I almost got pregnant off that one. It was pretty deep you guys

Hooker & Adesanya's picks for the weekend. Izzy picking Du Plessis.. Obviously he's hoping for a new opponent.
I'm picking all the Aussies, plus the Kiwi, Moreno, Price and obviously Nickal vs a last minute opponent. I hope I'm wrong and Lawler finishes with a win
Tougher fight for Volkanovski that the odds are indicating
-
Menifield
Gomes
Maddalena
Lawler
Nickal
Turner
Du Plessis
Pantoja
Volkanovski -

PantojaI'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

@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.
-
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.
