The septic was v poor. Looks to have a good chin, but offense wasn’t nearly enough.

wonder if Molly will get a 50K bonus ?

maybe they'll get both a "lesser" fight in the States in Vegas ? help Dana get them outside of England. and more of an audience.

not sure how many fans Stateside are watching at 4 in the p.m. it's 3 in Vegas and I think around 2 on the West Coast. not exactly helping them out.

they've had a few fights in the Saturday afternoon on network t.v. lately, but not really BIG names as of today. couple of "names" but obviously nothing worth sitting home for.

the Vegas fights work out time wise for both coasts and being the gambling capital of the States gets all kinds of people. guaranteed sell outs and the "action" will bring in a shedload of money all around.

not a great co-main event very much of a muchness.

Paddy has international interest and could fight in the US. McCann, probably not- there’s not enough to build there, internationally.

Definitely looked like ligament damage - not sure if it was the knee or his slightly awkward way he landed his foot after the kick.

She looks a bit like Bethe Correia. She wasn’t very good either.

Drake promises Rolex watches to Molly McCann, Paddy Pimblett after winning $2 million wager

Drake put over $2 million on a parlay that ended up winning him just over $3.7 million after Pimblett and McCann both scored finishes on the evening’s main card.

Shortly after Pimblett’s win, McCann took to Instagram to send a message to Drake, asking if he could purchase a Rolex watch for her, and Drake responded in kind.

Top Boy

Following interest from Canadian rapper Drake, it was announced in November 2017 that Netflix would revive the series and order a new season of ten episodes, with both Ashley Walters and Kane Robinson reprising their roles.[1] Series creator Bennett returned to script most episodes, along with the original creative team; Drake, Adel Nur, Maverick Carter, and Jamal Henderson all joined the series as executive producers.[6] The new season premiered on Netflix on 13 September 2019 and was presented as the first season, whilst the original series was added to Netflix under the name Top Boy: Summerhouse.[1]

Paddy vs Ferguson??? Can't say I saw that matchup coming. Ferguson clearly on his way down, following a stellar career, but he's still got offensive tools to give anyone a tough fight. Paddy improving, and has youth & less collective damage on his side, but that's a big step up in competition levels.

I'd be surprised if Paddy wasn't given at least one or two more lower/mid tier fights before he's matched with any former titleholders or title challengers.

surprised that there's been no posting after last weekend.

cracking evening.

the Nunes/Pena fight was exactly that.

also looks like this is a new add

Dustin Poirier and Michael Chandler appear to be on a collision course for a fight that is expected to take place before the end of 2022.

Ariel Helwani reported Monday on The MMA Hour that UFC 281 is “close and likely.” UFC 281 takes place Nov. 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

nothing new on the suggested adds from the weekend.

UFC probably is happy that there's still talk going on after last Saturday and will post new fights when there's a lull

they do really run a pretty good campaign to keep interest going. little slips about what "could, might or should" happen to keep the wheels turning.

due to the very nature of the sport though, the next BIG fight is upstaged sometimes by the expected "winner" upset. I thought actually that Kai Kara France was ahead til he got his internal organs re-arranged.
