  1. RobbyRoy

    Quadruple double?

    When? Career high of 6 tackles, averaged 2 this season. He's young and versatile for sure, so not ruling it out, but doesn't jump off the page.

    🔫🚅🗽 AFLW's Most Valuable Players, 5th Edition

    Can't say I disagree too much with the list, nothing extreme at all: Too high: McNamara Conway Newman Too low: Gilroy Whitford Gould Schleicher Toogood The major omission for me is Morphett. A 21-year old, 188cm ruck who can move like her, and showed in 2024 how high her output can be, should...

    🔫🚅🗽 AFLW's Most Valuable Players, 5th Edition

    Looking forward to the 2025 list. I'm predicting fewer extreme changes, which I think signifies the stable growth of the comp.

    Just caught up. Was a low stakes, high value event for sure. Agree re Morales. He was also regularly tagged in the Matthews and Griffin fights, but did enough to get it done. His past two have been more convincing. He's an absolute specimen, so not sure he can continue to make 170, but...

    Ufc 315 Aussie Jack v Forget the name

    He attempted 9 takedowns the entire fight. The average Belal goes for about 9 a minute. He came to prove something with his stand up and failed (and walked away with some nasty injuries), but won more fans than he did as a champion.

    Ufc 315 Aussie Jack v Forget the name

    Credit to Belal for trying to strike with an elite striker the majority of the fight, but can't see Islam doing the same. Just means a pretty clear focus during training camp for Jack. I saw Craig Jones in his corner, hopefully they can absolutely hammer sub defence for the next few months, and...

    He needed to go harder for the finish there, but I think he's done it!

    Ufc 315 Aussie Jack v Forget the name

    Feels too big a hill for JDM to climb, but with his power, you never know. If he does pull it off, you'd think it would be one of the easier double-champ chances for Islam. It's a pretty terrible PPV card, but will tune in and out as I can until Jack's fight.

    A hurt Inoue is somehow even more frightening than the normal version.

    Really embarrassing for Nickel. Those knees looked brutal but he looked like he wanted nothing to do with it from then on. Great win to Sandhagen. He looks to be in a bit of a black hole now, better than almost everyone but keeps falling short.

    Great fight that one. Interesting that Fiziev was talking about a move to FW and is now fighting a massive guy in Bahamondes.

    I suppose if Irish culture needs saving, better turn to a CTE, HGH, and cocaine addled former cage fighter.

    Are you suggesting there aren't any? The Independent Ireland movement is gaining momentum and is aggressively anti-immigration, while all Fianna Fail and Fine Gael candidates will run on "firmer" immigration policies, without necessarily inflaming like the former (and McGregor) will. There's...

    There are far more well-qualified, better-liked Irish politicians who want to put an end to it, it's certainly not a Conor or anything scenario here.

    He's almost universally despised in Ireland. That being said, if he hits the immigrant topic hard enough, who the hell knows now?!

    Wow, zero discussion for today's event. Not good on paper obviously, but ended up with 9 finishes, including two WMMA KOs in a row then 2 kimuras in a row on the main card.

    UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev (March 8, 2025)

    I agree that actually defending takedowns should be rewarded, but there's no way being held against the cage should score you control. Every time Poatan got out he looked exhausted.

    UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev (March 8, 2025)

    I know Chama, aura and all that, but some odd reactions in here. Pereira landed 11 strikes to the head the entire fight. The takedown defence was super impressive, but he simply didn't pull the trigger. Ankalaev stood about 70% of the fight with a guy everyone thought would absolutely smoke him...

    I think he did well to stand in front of him for 15 mins haha. No thank you.

    Well I was wrong, he's definitely worthy in the stand-up.

    UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev (March 8, 2025)

    He's a really good prospect, especially if he can keep making LW. Well rounded and already very experienced at 27, I think he can become a contender.

    UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev (March 8, 2025)

    Round 1 counts, but Rountree landed the most in Round 3. I don't think Ank is even a better striker than Khalil. I don't care what he says, if he purely stands with Poatan he's not lasting a round.

    UFC 313: Pereira vs Ankalaev (March 8, 2025)

    Hard to say. One one hand, he'll have seen the success Rountree had and consider himself the better striker. On the other, he was basically 50/50 with Jan, who himself lost a very tight decision (I had it for Jan) to Pereira in 3-rounder but did so mixing in grappling quite well. I think he has...

    Crazy take. Herzog is probably the best in the business, but even he can't work his way through the MMA foul quagmire. Song should've been penalised after the first blatant poke, and to not even warn him when he immediately sticks all 5 fingers out after the 5 min timeout was insane. All that...

    Killer event tomorrow. Cejudo looking to get his first win since his return and Song looking to get that big name win on his resume to take the next step. Nearly a decade younger and much the bigger man (looking like he'll struggle to stay Bantam forever), big opportunity for Song. Hernandez...

    Big day for the Aussies! Volk is obviously on the way down, but Lopes is a good match-up for him, aside from the massive size discrepancy. Would be a fairytale for him to win this then defend against Evloev, but I'm getting a bit excited. On the other hand, don't like JDM's chances. Belal will...
