          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

                      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

                                  That was a huge effort by Volk.

                                  Lopes will be champ one day

                                    What a card!!! Every fight entertaining as all hell. I get the Pimblett love now. Fighting nerds seem unstoppable. Volk still has it but is vulnerable, agree Lopes will be champ. Will be interesting who Volk goes against next, I can't see him winning a rematch. Lopes just overawed in the early rounds, once he got some confidence he was away.

                                      I'm not convinced by the over awed angle. It's not the first time people have been surprised by AV once he's standing in front of them. The commentary was talking about Lopes needing to force the pace more but Volk's jab, feints and counter punching make entry really difficult.

                                      Check out these striking stats. Not just the totals but the accuracy difference.

                                        Good to see Riddell in the corner too. I wonder if thats a sign he's wanting to fight again soon? 2.5 years since his last fight when he took an extended break

                                          @Duluth True, points only and volk romps home everytime. Just think Lopes's chin so much stronger, hits harder and he's more room for improvement. Kids got massive heart, last couple minutes were awesome
