    Anyone picking against Pereira?

    Ankalaev is good but has had trouble with the calf kick before. Pereira's calf kicks really hurt for some reason.. all the fighters mention it. Surely, despite what he's said, he has to wrestle?

    Gaethje deserves massive credit for taking a dangerous lower ranked fighter after Hooker got injured. Surprised that Fiziev is the betting favourite. He's definitely good enough to win but he's taken the fight on short notice

    Looking forward to seeing Ruffy fight again. He has massive potential

      I can't pick against Pereira. Such a fun fighter to watch, will be devastated when he does eventually get taken out. Not familiar with Fiziev again but should be cracker.

        Damn this is a rough sport to follow sometimes, seems like as soon as I get invested in a great fighter then they are due to fall.

        Ruffy was awesome, I get the hype for sure now.

        Lemos fight was boring.

        Feel for Turner, one of the first fights I saw in ufc was his loss to Rociano, apparently he's retiring? Other bloke looks the goods though, not even gonna attempt spelling his name but he was awesome at Noche.

        Gaethje fight was just awesome. Hookers hand might have done him a favour, reports of Gaethje's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

        Headline wasn't as fluid but damn tense. Hoping close enough that a rematch is on the cards. At least Pereira wasn't knocked out so still hoping my boy has the ability to get that belt back.

          Spot on for all of that

          Pereira looked dumbfounded at times because he’s battered previous opponents

            Yeah pretty disappointing main event in terms of action.

            Surely a rematch does take place and Pereira will have to go out there looking to win it. Suspect it could be a similar result though

                    Yeah it should happen around 11:15am NZT

                    I’m surprised by the odds - Ulberg 1.32 v Jan 3.1

                    Ulberg should be the favourite but I didn’t expect him to be backed that heavily

                        Very very close fight. Maybe Jan edged it?

                          Nope Ulberg got it. I had no idea how to score those rounds.. all were very close

                          I’m sure there will be a title rematch at the top of the division. Ulberg needs another fight before getting shot IMO

                          Hopefully Edward’s wins the main event

                            Some good fights there

                            Edwards comprehensively beaten

                                Seemed damn close but Ulberg had more output. Clearly didnt want to take too many risks against Jan.

                                Maybe ulberg vs jiri title fight playoff to then fight winner of Pereira/Ankalaev rematch/trilogy?

                                  Very good card tomorrow. Here's my guesses

                                  Volkanovski v Lopes
                                  Chandler v Pimblett
                                  Rodríguez v Pitbull
                                  Mitchell v Silva
                                  Krylov v Reyes

                                  Not certain about any of these

                                  Lopes is extremely dangerous and it's fair to question if Volk can can back from those two big KO's. Volk to control the distance and frustrate Lopes

                                  As everyone has mentioned Pimblett does get hit often and Chandler has the power. I'm picking an early knock out but would pick Pimblett if he gets through the first round

                                  Hard to judge how good Pitbull is. Yair is quality plus he's young and with a significant height and reach advantage.

                                  Mitchell seems comfortable being the villain this week.

                                  Krylov is coming off decent results and I am picking against Reyes chin

                                    Will go opposite to you

                                    All could go either way

                                    Great card on paper

                                        I'm picking Silva over Mitchell, otherwise agree with your picks. Hell of a card.

                                          That was impressive by Pimblett. He looked huge in there. Chandler slowed up after badly after that wrestling exchange in round 1

                                          Crazy that Chandler's UFC record is now 2 wins 5 losses
