Keith and Ben preview UFC 305, which takes place on Saturday in Perth, Western Australia, and features a sensational middleweight title bout atop a card stacked with some of the best fighting talent Oceania has to offer. Side topics include adult film work as a springboard to fighting, misinformation and the art of war in cross-country running, historical "other sibling" matchups in MMA (of which Ben misses an obvious one), and, of course, Bo Nickal.

Opening bout. Jesús Santos Aguilar. One of last year's most underrated KOs.

Can't wait

I think there are going to be a LOT of finishes on this card.
Taking a look at the matchups....they've really given the Aussies and Kiwis maximum chance to look good and get a fast stoppage win in front of a local patriotic-to-all-Antipodean-fighters crowd.

Regarding Tapology picks, I would say that there'll be a lot of 10/12's, 11/12's and maybe someone will even get a perfect 12/12 Tapology picks. Certainly this card looks easier to make accurate picks on that most PPV cards.

Let's hope for some exciting finishes! Maybe some of the fights will even get into the 2nd round!!

Interesting. Should be a great crowd in Perth, Australia. Agree there will be some spectacular finishes. Enjoy the fights @Doughie99.

Slightly off topic but it has been a splendid summer for MMA fans.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

other than the main it looks like your standard fare Apex card.

Lovely restraint, no need for follow up.

Some guys really cant help it in the adrenaline of the moment so I never judge a fighter for it and hell Im enough of a pig that I like to seem em [follow up shots] at times but its admirable.

Great card, but only because its so top heavy with this glorious main event and the fact that I like Dan Hooker.

Main event has everything, a style clash that's violence oriented, storyline, legacy, future matchups, and just in general many questions to be answered.

Legit cannot wait for DDP and Izzy to be in that cage. Hope there's no glove touch.

I’m kind of in DWCS mode, with tonight being the first card of the season, and all. I’ll turn my attention to 305 tomorrow.

I just put the pbp thread together. I don't remember it starting so early (7pm ET) maybe it always did. But thats a 6pm start time for me, I might miss the first couple of fights depending on how the rest of the day goes.

Nice..

(Well not nice you might miss a couple of fights).

Yes, it’s always been an 8ET, start. Or 6pm, where I live in Edmonton. So at least this card is an hour earlier than usual.

Li Jingliang wears his suit to the press conference or we riot!
