    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

    Hype vid:

    Short interview from a week ago:

    Can't wait

    Allen for the win

    @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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    Volk!

    Zombie has a great chin obviously. However KZ and his team kept repeating the bollocks claim that Volkanovski has no power. So pleased that fight ended with a stoppage via striking

    The class difference was huge

    Chimaev has a chin that's for sure

    Bullshit judging.

    Split at best and could easily have gone Gilbert's way.

    Chimaev needs to rethink his ego. Should have gone to ground more.

    Sterling is legit. Very surprised.

    Volk was a machine.

    @mikethesnow I think Yan won, but Sterling fought a much better fight. Yan is technically the best fighter in mma love watching him
