wow !!!!

Walker in a really easy win...

not sure how bad Craig is but this was a walk in the park..

how good can Walker be..??


what balance..knocked Craig out pretty much while on one leg..

then the worm !!

:crylol:

and as I write...Andrade is absolutely demolishing Murphy...Andrade is as hard as a coffin nail !!!!!

Burns wins hardly breaking a sweat........submission....1st round...strong mf...

hmmm..

Moreno wins by stoppage... maybe a thumb in the eye but not.. ruled legal..think Moreno was ahead on points...but..cracker of a fight...maybe V ?

some super under cards too..excellent finishes..


managed the first punishing round, then woke up, computer in the sleep mode, tv on and shivering on the couch..have absolutely NO idea what time it was.....

:crylol:

can't wait to go back to Central Time..that one hour makes all of the difference..

Teixeira retires....

Justin gaethye v Rafael Fiziev should be a quality fight, especially if it is a 3 rounder they both literally stand there and bang

Islam Makhachev vs. Alexander Volkanovski

going to either be epic, or a damp squib. and to be honest I can't see it being a damp squib.

Think Islam takes this - too big and too strong for Volk. Two absolute apex predators in their division, though.

I really want Volk to win tonight but I just think Islam will be too big for him.

By the time they retire, they will both go down as modern day greats, they are that good.

Tonight’s card is going to be a good watch. Yair Rodriguez is one of the most creative strikers out there, up against Emmett who is the epitome of a powerful KO artist.

Jack Della Maddalena is an outstanding boxer but Randy Brown will make this an even matchup.

Makachev looked huge next to Volk at weigh in face-offs. I just don't see how Volk wins this unless it's a wild haymaker or maybe a heel hook or similar leg sub not used in combat sambo. I think the first round or two will be some jabbing & circling before they tie up and Makachev gets the takedown and keeps Volk controlled on the mat & cage. When Volk gets tired - maybe third or fourth - that's when openings will become available, and Islam wins either by sub or possibly TKO.

Sounds like Volk had a chance to win in R5, but haven’t watched yet. Rematch perhaps?

If there was a bit more time volk might have finished him, fair play to him for endi up on top of the grappler after 5 rounds

Certainly made me eat my own words. Will get a copy of the fight and watch soon, sounded like a good scrap. As for P4P, I’m not sure Islam deserves it for decisioning a featherweight.
