This card kind of sucks.

What? You aren't unable to sleep waiting to see if Megan Anderson's unclipped toenails can go 2-0?

 

[I am not exposed]

This card kind of sucks.

The last one in Australia did as well! Most fight nights were better than UFC234.

For me it's a brilliant card but I'm biased and have followed these guys for a long time. Matthews, Bam Bam, Robbie, Hooker, Jedi all on the same card. Bring it on. Tafa is a big boy. Watch out for Brad Riddell, as tough as they come.

 

[m9]

It will be fun, it just needs one more big fight. Iaquinta/Hooker as a 3rd fight is great but isn't really a co-main fight to me.

The main event is can't miss so that gets me excited for this card by itself. The co-main should be good as well but obviously the rest of it isn't very strong.

I'm leaning towards Adesanya but can go either way. Both guys are elite level fighters so the one thing I'm going back to is Whittaker's inactivity. He has come back from a long layoff just fine before so that might not be an issue but you don't want to start slow against Adesanya. He's more of a counter fighter but he's also too good of a striker to sit back and let Whittaker get comfortable.

The early fights would really suck to partake in. Wake up, have a bowl of wheaties, and go get punched in the face.

 

[member 51464]

Garbage reffing. Silva has nailed Taha twice in the groin.....a stern warning that "next time" a point will definitely be taken. Like damn. One free shot is bad enough, but two? Come the f*** on.

Hi guys. Could anyone send me a link to watch the fights please?

Thanks!

I got raging Al honestly. Hooker's record doesn't look all that impressive.

 

[member 51464]

Wow. Nice knockout. Geez.

 

[Deen]

Tuivasa's takedown defense if awful. They should feed him to the Boa Constrictor Alexey Oleynik.

 

[member 51464]

Man, that second round got violent quick. Tuivasa looked on the walk in like he was maybe having a bit too much fun and enjoying the ride more than taking it seriously. Nothing wrong with that, but he doesn't really seem to have progressed at all as a fighter. It's good his conditioning improved, but....that alone doesn't get it done at this level.

Walks out to the Sapranos theme

 

[Jasper]

Great first round for Hooker.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

Hard to imagine Hooker didn't win.

 

[Deen]

That was a class example of how to fight at range. That said... Poirier beats him badly.

 

[Deen]

I got Izzy here.

 

[Jasper]

I like Whittaker. Also hope Adesanya gets knocked out.

 

[Deadpool8812]

After this guy's entrance... I hope he gets knocked out

He's just barely less cringe than Cejudo.

He's just barely less cringe than Cejudo.

Surprised Dana let him do that. He never let the fighters enter like that before
