Yeah that wasn't really a good performance at all. Felt like he's almost regressed, sucks to see.
Card was great but the 2 decisions were pretty bad. Thought Ankalaev had the win and like most, definitely thought Paddy lost.
Once it went to the judges scorecards I knew he'd get the nod though, suspect to say the least.

I just don't see why they're intent on hyping up Paddy and how he has a large following in the first place.
At least with Mcgregor he was exciting to watch and has a personality. We'll get to see Paddy get knocked out soon at least.

Yeah Dana is going to protect Paddy for as long as he can. Desperately needs a new star for the company.

Francis Ngannou gone from the ufc.
Jones vs Gane for the title.

That's a shame, Ngannou is always a must watch because of his power.
Dana really is a cunt.

Losing Francis is so poor on the UFC's part. Even if they had to pay him a small fortune for a one fight deal against Jones, I really think they should have done it. That would have been huge.

Jones is still going to be a massive draw.
Doubt he would want to risk Ngannou knocking his head off 2 minutes into the first Jones fight in 3 years.

Gane and Jones will be a good fight.
Wouldn't be surprised if they bring Ngannou back if Jones wins. And they planned it all along.

I think Ngannou wants to box, or do some sort of exhibition of that nature and UFC are dead against it.
But now that Ngannou is no longer the UFC Champ, I'm not sure he'll even get an opportunity like that. Could still make money in the PFL though
Gane/Jones is a good fight if it happens though. I'd like to see Gane win but I think Jones' wrestling will cause him some problems. I don't think Jones has looked good in his recent fights at all but I also just can't count him out.

Another BS decision. Volk won that.

Disagree, had Islam winning scoring round by round.
Lovely fight though.

Aye, I'd give Islam 3 rounds and Volkanovski 2. Absolutely cracking fight, I'd have no problems with them running it back straight away.

If you go by how badly MMA is scored then yes the decision was correct but the two rounds where it was mostly on the ground Islam did hardly anything and some refs might have stood them up again. Great fight though. I don't really like either of them but I definitely like volk more after that as he was outstanding.

I love Volk - guy is an absolute class act, barely talks any shit and handled the Holloway trilogy with a lot of grace.

Yeah, Volk is a weird one to dislike. Even his style of fighting is always exciting to watch.

Just caught up. Fwiw I gave R1 and R2 to Islam, R3 and R5 to Volk. Round 4 was a weird one to score though as whilst Islam has his back almost the entire round, Volk was doing those weird little backwards punches the entire time.
So yeah, Islam winning is probably the right result I think.

I don't think even Volk thought he won Round 4 tbf. Before the takedown Islam won a lot of the exchanges on the feet and then the control sealed it got me.
It's all got a bit messy now though with Dan Hooker accusing Makhachev of using an IV to rehydrate, calling him a cheating dog but with no actual evidence.
Really not liking the way that City Kickboxing camp are handling this, very bitter and classless slander with some other weird comments.

I like Hooker, but I do think he's a bit of a nutter from various bits and bobs you see behind the scenes. Including this.

So who wins the main event? I'm excited to read the result when I wake up tomorrow.  . Wish it was sport shown on normal TV and a good UK time. I always end up just watching the match ups about 48 hours later when BT put them on YouTube but I always know the results. |

Hard to look past Jones but think Gane might actually catch him and knock him out.

Obviously I've never been in a cage fight but I imagine 3 years out without anyone actually trying to take your head off properly makes you a bit rusty no matter how great you are.

Add the step up in weight class to that as well. And Gane isn't some heavyweight slob either.

If Francis can easily out-wrestle Game, I'd expect Jones to easily dominate him on the ground. But yeah, stand up will be very interesting!

Chuffed with the final fight and he won fairly. Would like to see him fight Colby.
Gaethje is amazing to watch, his style is the most exciting.
