That was an awesome main card
The Aspinall main card in a few weeks is one of the best I've seen.

That was an awesome main card
Was a great initial punch to the side if the head/ear, which got it done. I'm happy for the win. I still wouldn't have minded if it went on a little longer.TBH same but he loses either way probably best to save the guys brain cells.

You’re crazyI don't think that should've been stopped.
Don't fool yourself into thinking Ankalaev wasn't copping damage in that situation. Even if it's only partial connections with the head, it's still an accumulation of damage. Herb was watching the damage accumulate and said no more. Good stoppage.Covered up. Elbows to the hands/arms. What I saw.
The happiest with that result has to be Ulberg
No way do they do Akex v Jiri 3 over giving him a shot
Why?Safe to say Alex has surpassed Izzy by a country mile.
After seeing what the commentators were saying after the fight, I think Alex will go up to HW and take on Aspinall. Carlos v Jiri for the vacant LHW belt seems likely. Hopefully they do it in Sydney in the early parts of next year and Volk gets booked on that card as well.Agreed Ulberg although against weaker opposition he is on a 9 fight win streak.. Jiri is on a 2 fight win streak but against stronger opposition admittedly so at worst Jiri should fight Ulberg if Alex wants a spell.

If there's one guy I wouldn't underestimate, it's Alex Pereira. The guy continues to prove all the doubters wrong and you're right in saying he'd become the GOAT if he takes the HW belt off Aspinall. Fight week next year feels like a good time to do it.If he beat Tom he'd be the GOAT, can't see how he could because Tom has ground game and power in the hands.
Was instantly my favourite fighter from 2 minutes into his first fight when he decided to try and block with his forehead to try and break Volkans hand then slept him not long afterDidn't catch them live but watching the replays.
Jiri is such an anime character. Gets his arse beat for two rounds and decides **** this imma just win.

Not sure there'll ever be another fighter like this guy. Unique in every way
He’s a brutal brawler is JiriGod damn i love Jiri
He’s a hands downer A phoneboother . AWas instantly my favourite fighter from 2 minutes into his first fight when he decided to try and block with his forehead to try and break Volkans hand then slept him not long after

Was to busy on the piss to post but man, that was one of the best UFC nights of my life. I ****ing love jiri blokes deadset retarted and I love it. Someone said it above, there will never be another guy fight like him again.
An Alex. Wow. Entering the conversation as one of the greatest combat athletes of all time, walked down that neck beard **** like he didn't deserve to be in there with him
Yeah he's crazy man, theres guys looking to fight, then guys looking to killPoatan was just ridiculous.
I'd shit myself like Ank did too if a Bigfoot looking ass dude just walks me down like that.
I was 100% with this too, but now I feel like **** it I'd watch. He's conquered lhwlove Poatan but Aspinall would just take him straight to the ground and that would be all she wrote
oh I will watch it and be pumped for it. I may even start to cinvince myself that Periera could/will winI was 100% with this too, but now I feel like **** it I'd watch. He's conquered lhw
I thought Ankalaev would just bore him to death again. Lesson is never underestimate that man. But yeah Aspinalls much smarter than most fighters, he openly said if he fights him he's sprinting across the cage and rugby tackling him from the moment the fight starts loloh I will watch it and be pumped for it. I may even start to cinvince myself that Periera could/will win
But Aspinall it too big, just as quick and super ****ing smart.
Being punched when you are covering up is just to stop cuts. You still copping blows.Covered up. Elbows to the hands/arms. What I saw.
