UFC Vegas 48

Low key card

High key entertainment

Some great finishes

I finally saw last weekends fights. Hill’s KO was special

Sorry late to the thread.

The classic boxing 1-2 but it looked appallingly executed. How that actually knocked old mate out is anyones guess……

Right on the buzzer with thin gloves

Yeah but still looked like one of those shitty unco punches that are more likely to break your wrist than do the recipient any damage.

In other words what I throw on the bag at home.

@mn5 it's an over hand and they're both coming in so the range is off.
Johny walkers head is suspect for sure

Yeah people don’t realise how hard it can be to perfect the timing of the landing of a punch that’s for sure and not knowing either of these guys particularly well it does look like Walkers head is glass like.

Good event this weekend, the first London card for 3 years. I'll be cheering for every Brit apart from Allen

I like Volkov but I hope Aspinall puts on a dominant performance. I'm hoping the HW division evolves and better athletes like Aspinall, Gane and maybe Jones are at the top. Aspinall has crazy speed for his size

Allen is a good challenge for Hooker back at 145lbs. Hooker is confident it's his correct weight
That frame in that division, with the additional experience he has now.. he should go well

Hooker looking lean

Drawn

Hence the sunglasses

Tough cut

[Duluth]

@mikethesnow

It’ll be interesting to see how he is tomorrow

The test cut he did a couple of months was easy according to him. Maybe the travel has had an impact? In his previous stint at 145 he generally would look rough at weigh in

[Duluth]

Weird fight from Hooker. When he first got struck he just stayed in range. He had plenty of room to backup and recover. After that he was just hanging on.

Did he think he needed a brawl and an early win?

Great card so far. Go Aspinall

[MiketheSnow]

Best card in ages

Fucking brilliant top to bottom

Best Show In Town

Been a fan of Aspinall for a wee while. Seems to be very level headed. Lightening fast and has a super well rounded game. I think he's really what everyone was hoping Gane was. A complete figter. I have no doubt this guy will be the future of the division.

[raznomore]

I think Hooker is drinking too much of his own coolade. He's seen as this ready to go tough guy. Much like Cowboy was. But he's not good enough to be that guy. He needs to cool it with all the undefeated up and comers. He could still carve out a good finish to his career with taking similarly skilled fighters to himself. A few must see wars. I think his fight with DP has given him the idea he's elite.

Some great finishes in London

Kai Kara-France is fighting Askarov later today

Askarov is deservedly a big favourite. He's been consistent in the UFC and hasn't been beaten yet.

KKF is improving and has hands that can stop the fight

Winner should get the next title shot

[Duluth]

Kai fights in a few mins (on espn)

[Duluth]

Fuck yeah!

Kai is improving so fast. Great wrestling defence

[Duluth]

Volkanovski v Zombie
Sterling v Yan
Burns v Chimaev
Dern v Torres
Pichel v Madsen

Garry v Weeks
Rozenstruik v Tybura
Ladd v Pennington
Gall v Malott

Clear favourites according to the odds in the last three fights. I agree with the markets regarding the results.. I'm surprised by how lopsided they are

Big fight for Gall on the undercard. He hasn't any momentum in the UFC yet and is danger of getting cut. Malott is highly rated and looked good on the contender series
