Finally caught up on the fight night, been a struggle to stay off X to have it spoilt. Luckily its been a really quiet last few days on both news and UFC front...
Very enjoyable card for a fight night.
Rountree Jr was clinical taking Hill apart, well deserved to be a top 5 contender.
Though what stole the show was this fight which took away ALL of the post fight bonuses $100K to each fighter. Likely best fight I've seen this year

@MiketheSnow Good riddance, what an absolute ass. Keeps talking about legacy but just can't help tarnishing it and holding up the entire division as well as Aspinall's career.
On my UFC catchup I've just got to #151 which was cancelled due to Jones ducking an extremely short notice callup of Chael Sonnen who at that time was a middle weight.
Found the conference call announcing the cancellation and Dana did not mince his words on what he thought of Jones, no idea how it went from this to Dana singing his praises and talking about Jones 'never ducking a fight'..this was all pre PED/run ins with the law as well.

Oh he still hates Jones
There was a period where all the big champs retired or lost. The UFC had two stars to talk up - Jones and Pereira. White praised Jones while he thought he had a big fight to sell. He'll be calling someone else the GOAT soon
DW also dislikes Ngannou. He'll praise him if a fight with him an Apsinall was possible (doubt it'll ever happen)

Oliveira
Pantoja
Van
Moicano

To be fair I havent seen Royvale, Lima or Dariush fight so those are just guesses. Basing Kai's fight on the sole fight of his I saw (vs Erceg) seen a couple Pantoja's. Will be very interesting if Kai's power threatens his chin because he will get hit. Hoping Pantoja is in for a big surprise.

Topuria v Oliveira
Pantoja v KKF
Royval v Joshua Van
Dariush v Moicano
Talbott v LimaI can pick fights when I don’t bet
KKF didn’t really get any offence going. Stayed calm in the grappling in round 1, managed to get back to his feet a couple of times in round 2. He really needed a standup fight to have a chance and Pandora knew that
-
@Duluth Nice one. Yeah Kai's fight was a hard watch. Appeared to be nowhere near Pantoja's level. Made worse after that absolute banger fight preceding it.
Tuporia is phenomanol. Surely the boos have got to stop now. Yeah he has put out eveyones favourite fighter/s but you gotta appreciate just how good he is.

His run in the last 3 fights is amazing
Volk, Hollaway, Oliveira all by KO
Volk is really hard to KO, that was the only time Max has been knocked out and Oliveira hadn't been knocked out for 8 years
