Good little bio on him including clips from his first fight at 17.

[Rembrandt]

I'm such a sucker for these. Pumped for Sunday!

[Rembrandt]

Who have we got?

I'm going:
Talbott
Moicano
Royval
Kara-France
Topuria

[Duluth]

Topuria v Oliveira
Pantoja v KKF
Royval v Joshua Van
Dariush v Moicano
Talbott v Lima

Will be cheering or KKF (obviously) and I'd like Moicano to win

Kai has a good chance but I think he'll need a knock out.

[MiketheSnow]

Oliveira
Pantoja
Van
Moicano
Lima

[Duluth]

Three sets of predictions and we can't agree on a single fight. I guess that's good match making

Combo of what I think will happen plus what I want to happen

[Rembrandt]

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.

[Rembrandt]

Gone a bit nuts with this one, watched all the promos, press conference and the weigh-ins. Don't know if I'm just becoming a boomer but the weigh-in show with Sanko, Cormier amd Bisping was hilarious. Bisping unfiltered/drunk is something else.

I 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

[Rembrandt]

@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.

Tuporia is phenomanol

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

[Rembrandt]

If Islam beats JDM and Tuporia beats Paddy/Armin...then the UFC should really get Jone's 30mill+ and get that superfight organised
