Ufc 220: DC vs Volkan it looks like.

LHW is dead if he gets the shot. Is Gus injured?

Maybe not. Does this stop his title shot?

Only if it's in the UFC's interest.

He's disposed of three top 10 guys in his three fights, two of which were violent KO's. He's big, he hits hard and while I don't see him being a real threat to DC it's about the best fight they can make while Jones goes through more legal issues and Gus continues to sit on the shelf. You're right that the weight class definitely needs an influx of talent as it's as thin as I can remember it being. Why they let a young talent like Krylov or an established vet like Bader go to other orgs is beyond me.

Kelly was unlucky with that rear-naked-choke.....thought he was gonna pinch the result there. But for 3 rounds Theo set the pace, landed more strikes and had majority control of the fight.

No real surprise in him getting the decision.

The only bad results I saw were Matthews getting the win and one of the judges scoring the fight for Rawlings. I was fine with the Kelly decision, though disappointed for him.

I kinda thought the same. He pushed forward and initiated contact for 3 rounds while the model danced around him and threw aesthetically appealing limp kicks to maintain some distance.

What was with the 30-28 from one judge and 30-26 from another?!

30 for 30 have done a great podcast on the birth of the UFC. Well worth a listen, very entertaining.

I knew some of it but there are some great insights from the fighters in the very first event.

Do they have a podcast? I haven't seen them all but they do some great docos. I'm sure their podcast would reach a similar level.

Yeah, it's new I think.

Some of them are background/extras to the actual docos and then some cover topics that probably wouldn't warrant the full experience I suppose.

my man Lance is back on Hex, Friday night on Foxsports for those who want to support local MMA

sitting 5 and 0 with 5 finishes taking on a bloke who has won 18 fights 16 by stoppage so should be a good one. Looks like the are the last fight before the 3 title fights

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Adesanya and Crute both look like great prospects who could be in the UFC before too long and I was super impressed with Ettia in his last fight. Can definitely recommend checking out the Hex shows for anyone who hasn't.

Use a 2 week free trial for Foxtel now.

Did it multiple times over the last 6 months. Not sure if it's still active though

I might have to give it a look in, thanks!

That puts him between flyweight and bantamweight if I'm not mistaken. Is this a catchweight fight? If so, am I right in assuming he normally fights at flyweight? Either way, hope he does well and you get a chance to watch.

I remember you've posted about training BJJ before, is that his background? What can we expect to see from him as first time viewers?
