    3 out of 8 picks...nice little reinforcement as to why I dont gamble.

    Sounds like the perfect result for Ulberg. No way they do a trilogy with Ank or Jiri. At 38 most likely he moves to heavyweight for a final hurrah at adding some more legacy to his name. Jiri vs Ulberg for vacant belt?

    Ulberg could do with some media training interview was rough.

        I don't think he can be trained.. he seems oblivious to everything

        Shame he dropped the "Ladies Night" nickname. They could've leaned into the ex male stripper, zoolanderish cliche

          Yeah he shouldn't have any interest in fighting Jiri for a 3rd time. So it all depends if he wants to move too HW now

          The White House card (June 14) is what everyone wants to be on. I can imagine him taking some time off and trying for a super fight v Jones or Aspinall. No point risking all of that for another LHW defence

            Saw an interview where he doesn't think he will have to give up the LHW belt before moving to HW, his argument was that he is so active there is no need. Maybe right there but I really like the end of the double belt stuff just holds up multiple divisions.

              Dana has also confirmed the Hooker vs Arman fightnight late November is to see who will be the #1 contender for next title shot. Will be a hard ask for Hooker to beat Arman..and then Tuporia..still would love to see him have a crack

                This fight is from the contenders series last week. Ignore the video title.. it is probably the most entertaining fight in contender series history though. Lots of damage taken, not much defence

                          @MiketheSnow Maybe just too many fights in a short period? 5 fights in 12 months has got to take it out of you. Definitely didnt look himself. Kinda like Pereira vs Ank #1.

                            True

                            But I think they've worked him out too

                                Basically the same, I’m picking Dern though

                                Also interested in Wood/Delgado. Picking Delgado but cheering for Wood

                                    Sutherland looks like an absolute monster but just have zero idea how good he is. Glad he gets to make his debut so soon after the Perth bollocks with Tafa

                                      Not a bad night of predictions : 7-2-1

                                      Wood and Volkov fights could easily have gone the other way

                                      Klein is nails

                                      Some great finishes

                                      Anticlimactic ending

                                        3-3-1...

                                        Disappointing taste at the end but some awesome fights.

                                        Walkers' 4 heel-hooks in a row? How on earth is that possible? Definitely keeping an eye on him
                                        Glad of Volkov's win even though it didn't look like he won. Big guys just lean on an opponent for 15 mins and expect to win only harm the sport overall so great to see that scoring emphasis change.

                                        Some great decisive officiating in regards to fouls completely different from the last couple of events. Glad to see this improving.

                                        This one actually had me feeling a little ill at the sound. Commentators got pretty quiet there too. Amazing that folk get up from this.

                                          Tom still can't see out of one eye and the other is about 50% visibility as per latest update from his Dad.

                                          Pretty scary, a lot of talk about whether anything can and will change. Looks like Cyril had 4 almost contacts with Tom's eye before the final poke along with one warning from the ref before the final double poke.

                                          Surely there has to be some sort of change here. Zero downside for raking fighters eyes up till now.
