This time... I'm in!

Looking forward to it.

Puzzled how Tiuliulin keeps getting fights, and bamboozled by the Tony-Chiesa fight, but it's not bad for a Fight Night IMO

Very pleased Brenner vs Alvarez didn't fall through, and that Shara is back in there way quicker than I feared! Figgy vs Vera is a beauty, and quite a few are gonna give us answers on certain fighters.

Dern vs Godinez could be a sneaky fun fight...

 

[Sixstring]

In before @Luthien for once. I had her create a custom AV for me! Thank you!

 

[BroRogan]

Nice start time. 9pm for me here. Decent card too. Should be fun! Rooting for Cory via KO/TKO

 

[Lights Out 101]

Umar a pretty big favourite on the betting lines so far, I find it kind of crazy tbh. Corey has been on a roll lately and seems to be putting it altogether. We might see an upset.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Enjoy the fights guys!

[Bubzeh]

This is a fantastic card. Really looking forward to it.

Highlight for me is probably Dudakova v Hughes. Maybe Vera v Fig.

Looking good Banana !

 

[Luthien]

This card is kinda sneakily crazy stacked...

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Very good card for a UFC Fight Night, I like it, lots of good matchups, should be a lot of fun.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Pulled Sedriques Dumas out of jail and Tony's corpse out of the Morgue for this card. imo Only the best fight in the UFC.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Some very nice fights on this card. I’ll do a proper write up tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks for the thread @PurpleStorm

 

[Luthien]

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

To be fair your picks went south because Marc Goddard just couldn't wait to stop the Tom vs Blaydes fight, surprised he didn't stop it at the glove touch.

 

[Danespina]

Oh wow, terrific card.

For those that don't know, Azamat Murzakanov is 13-0 (3-0 in the UFC) on the prelims. Here's his jumping knee.

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

A bit unrelated to this thread, but my new gold boxing gloves arrived and I am so excited to use it on the heavy bag!!!

Nice! Bring them when we all attend the event at The Sphere. Whoever wants can do some friendly sparring on the jet.
