    UFC 310

    One of the deepest cards of recent times this one, and some of the strangest bout ordering you'll ever see. Pantoja v Asakura - Asakura is legitimately good, but the closest line you can draw to the UFC comp is a loss to Manel Kape 6 years ago. You can usually fairly safely say the best of the...

    UFC 309

    Pretty awful PPV card but at least we get see everyone's favourite fighter/least favourite human being. Stipe looked completely past in the Ngannou rematch (full credit to Francis' performance though), and that was 3.5 years ago. Jones is taking him apart, likely quickly and easily. Of course, a...

    UFC 308

    Not particularly deep, but a great event overall. There's already been some good discussion on the main and co-main in the general thread, so let's see what else we have. The undefeated Lerone Murphy must surely be looking to win this then accelerate in his career. 14-0-1, 8th fight in the...

    UFC 307

    A weak event for sure (and at altitude), but there's still plenty of intrigue here. Relatively high risk, very low reward for Poatan, so full credit there. Rountree throws with bad intent and is skilled, so there is obviously the KO threat, but it seems very far-fetched. Bautista is a very good...

    MMA-UFC UFC 298

    Can't believe this hasn't been made yet! Not a card of great depth but man, what a main card!

    MMA-UFC UFC 295

    Great fights from the get-go here, culminating in two huge ones:

    MMA-UFC UFC 288: Sterling vs Cejudo

    We may as well continue the Sterling v Cejudo discussion here, seeing as it's only 5 days away now. Massive main event, career defining for Sterling and legacy defining for Cejudo. The size difference is going to be crazy once they're in the cage, but not sure it'll be enough to stop CCC...

    MMA-UFC UFC 287: Pereira vs. Adesanya 2

    Just 4 months after Izzy's run came to an end and he gets a third chance to get revenge on the beast that is Alex Pereira. All his haters are already running with the "he's going to become a wrestler" rubbish, but the reality is, Adesanya has out-pointed Pereira for the majority of the time the...

    MMA-UFC UFC 285: Jones vs Gane

    The dust has settled on the massive Volkanovski/Makhachev fight and we move straight on to what is a massive event. Finally Jon Jones makes his return (after more than 3 years) and finally Jones makes his heavyweight debut (after talking about it for about a decade). Shevchenko should find a...

    MMA-UFC UFC 282

    Really interesting card this one. Was looking forward to the Jiri/Glover rematch, but this is a great substitute. There's a sense of timing about Ankalaev, but never count Jan out. Paddy, the return of Darren Till in a very dangerous fight, the debut of Rosas Jr, a heavyweight banger and what is...

    MMA-UFC UFC 279: Chimaev vs. Diaz

    Very average card but better than it was looking a month ago: As discussed in other threads, the myth that Nate is the guy who constantly upsets the favourites and ruins the UFC's plans just doesn't stack up. A favourable match up with Conor aside, he's generally been dominated exactly as...

    MMA-UFC UFC 278: Usman vs Edwards 2

    Not a good card by any means, but with three big fights I thought they would be some discussion by now! I think all three underdogs have a better chance than most are giving them - obviously especially Aldo. Usman has a clear path to victory; I highly doubt Edward's defensive wrestling has...

    MMA-UFC UFC 277

    A pretty tame event leading into some huge ones over the next few months: Actually finding it really hard to predict the main and co-main. Head says Nunes and Moreno, yet Nunes performance in that fight was hard to look past, and KKF is on a hell of a run. Will stick with my head. I think...

    MMA-UFC UFC 273

    Alright here we go. Two title fights and the most hyped fighter we've seen in years. I think Volk has TKZ well covered; a guy with serious talent but who has always fallen short of the very best fighters. I think everyone is expecting Yan to walk through Sterling and claim his rightful crown...

    MMA-UFC UFC 270

    First PPV of the year, get excited. Couple of big title fights to finish the night but I think it's a solid card overall. Pereira is on a run and always exciting and I don't think Topuria will be on the prelim card for much longer. Love the by-play between Francis and Cyril. Clearly have...

    MMA-UFC UFC 263

    Three massive headline fights including two title fights coming up on Sunday. The hate between Izzy and Vettori seems real, but I can't see the fight having anywhere near as much heat in it. My predictions for the main card: Izzy Moreno Edwards Belal Hill

    BigFooty's 25 Favourite Movie Characters - Countdown

    I've enjoyed reading and taking part in some recent countdowns on this forum so I thought it would be a good idea to keep them rolling. Was tossing up between movie/TV characters and movie/TV performances, but decided to start of with movie and see how it goes. Usual method: - Post a top 10...

    UFC 119: Mir vs. Cro Cop

    Pretty weak card on Sunday. But there's a couple of fights with title implications and Cro Cop returns to the main event. Heavyweight Bout: Frank Mir vs Mirko Cro Cop - I have faith in Cro Cop. The smart money is probably on the younger, in-prime Mir, but I think Cro Cop still has something...

    Free kicks over marks?

    Early in the quarter of the Eagles/Tigers game Deledio took a great mark but a free kick was paid to Tuck for holding or whatever. This has always annoyed me. In these situations why don't they reward the mark? Pay the free kick if you have to, but call advantage and give the player taking the...

    Movie Best shots in films

    Just like the score thread, what are your favourite shots from movies? One of my favourites is from the brilliant train robbing scene in The Assassination of Jesse James... The whole movie is brilliantly shot and this is the best part: Another recent one that was great was The Joker poking...

    UFC 110: Nogueira vs. Velasquez

    Hopefully there's no injuries in the next 6 days... Main Card Heavyweight Bout: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Cain Velasquez - I've been going both ways on this one. I know a lot of people are expecting Nog to get outwrestled but pull out the sub, but I'm backing Velasquez to avoid the subs and...

    Strikeforce: Fedor vs Rogers

    Main card Fedor Emelianenko vs. Brett Rogers - Anything other than a Zuluing/Sylviaing would surprise me. An exchange of strikes, clinch against fence, takedown, then GNP or RNC win for Fedor. Middleweight Championship bout: Jake Shields vs. Jason Miller - I think Miller will probably...

    Movie Best Actor...

    ...to have never been nominated for an Academy Award? I was asked this question not long ago and I couldn't really think of any actors, with moderate experience, who have never been nominated. All the stuff with Christian Bale over the last week has put one name forward, but are there any others?

    UFC 94 - GSP vs BJ Penn 2

    Just a few days away now, one of the biggest fights of the year. I've been going back and forth with a few picks on this card but this is what I've come up with. Main Card Welterweight Championship Bout: Georges St. Pierre vs BJ Penn - I'm not a major nuthugger of either so I'm not going to...

    K1 Dynamite

    Anyone seen the results for this? I've just spent all day watching the fights from last night, and it was a pretty big event. Mark Hunt KO'd, Badr Hari losing a kickboxing match the Alistair Overeem and MMA fighters giving K1 fighters floggings.

    Thank christ for that

    When I woke up and saw Ken Shamrock was out of the fight against Kimbo Slice, and Seth Petruzelli was in, I knew I was in for a good morning. I don't mind Kimbo as a person, but it was good to see him lose against decent competition. I just wish it was a spinning back kick that put him out...

    UFC: Silva vs. Irvin

    For the 3rd best card on this weekend, after Affliction and DREAM 5, this should be a pretty solid event: Light Heavyweight bout: Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin Lightweight bout: Hermes Franca vs. Frank Edgar Light Heavyweight bout: Brandon Vera vs. Reese Andy Welterweight bout: Anthony...
