Weidman should take a tune up (easy) fight. No one would blame him but he seems determined to be the poster boy for CTE.

Live now.

Izzy saying that he'll make Yoel crumble like the twin towers was an interesting one. Not sure a lot of people will take that overly well.

Meh, if you want these guys to be interesting you can't sensor them.

Could not care less for that comain.

 

[Topkent]

Could not care less for that comain.

Why

 

[JG22]

Could not care less for that comain.

A title fight is more than I ever expect for a co main in this country

 

[Ry009]

It will be a mauling but to see Val live would be nice.

 

[burge13]

Val will be $1.05 favourite & I don't much care for that weight class at all. No talent in it. 'Title fight' is meaningless IMO

Listening to Eddie 'Flat Earth' Bravo on the JRE talking about the Ferg/Khabib fight is pretty interesting. Eddie is a pretty eccentric kind of guy but I think he is one of the best Jiu Jitsu coaches out there. Him & Tony are going to have some new looks for Khabib on the ground

I cannot stand Eddie Bravo. At first his conspiracy theories are funny but saying "I don't know if North Korea is real" and things like that are just ridiculous given he isn't trying to be funny. He's proof weed does have negative side effects contrary to what smokers say

That said, he's a knowledgable dude for sure. Most anticipated MMA fight of the last few years just about

hahah yeh hes a bit overkill with the conspiracies. On another note the poster for the fight is giving me chills.
Man I just want to go to sleep & wake up the day of this fight

Ok.

 

[the_interloper]

Got Fightpass again and watching all the Prides in chronological order. The first few are a bit average I must say. Have seen a few of the events but did miss a few.

damn I miss those pride days. absolute brutality at its finest. Think I might get fight pass again just for this haha. Use to love watching Shogun in his pride days

Rumour that 251 may be in Perth.

A little surprising after they had 221, surely Sydney gets one soon.

Doubt the UFC cares where it is, would be about the bids from the state governments. Perth been going pretty hard on sports events lately

 

[Quivorir]

Its official now.

 

[Topkent]

Its official now.

Where do they hold the Perth events? Does anyone think the Perth stadium wants it or would it be a small venue?

 

[the_interloper]

Its official now.

Nice one! So presuming this will be Volkanovski's first defence? Rematch or Korean Zombie?

 

[Quivorir]

First confirmed fight.

 

[Quivorir]

Its at RAC Arena. Never heard of it.

 

[Topkent]

Hollaway the bigger fight obviously but I wouldn't wanna fight that beast again so soon. I'd want zombie first.

Max brings in the coin.
