Yeah hanging around with rapists and wifebeaters seems about right for the walking lump of spam. 

Whoah! That’s a bit out of line, I actually really like canned spam and I don’t think it’s fair to compare it to Trump! 

Just logged into the BT sports app to watch the replay and it’s got the results on the front page so that’s ruined the main results….. never seen the app display info like that, seems pretty stupid to me and hope it’s not a permanent change!

early start on this one tomorrow, 8pm prelims.

We are being spoilt with all these early start times! 
 

No votes for Sandhagen in the poll! Given current form I think Chito gets a late stoppage but can’t see it being all one way traffic. 

I really can’t stand Colby, he has proper go away heat. I don’t like Jones but I’m happy to watch his fights and hope someone beats him but with Colby I don’t even want to watch him get ko’d.

I don’t think he gives Edwards as much trouble as he would have a few years back. Edward looks to really have upped his game and I don’t think Colby offers any more of a threat than Usman. Then you factor in his lay off and age, I think Edwards stops him in a one sided fight.

Fucking hell DC completely ruined that fight with his biased commentary for Usman.

He ruined the decision for me as well as he looked pissed after speaking to Dana prior to the announcement so you just knew Edwards won.

Yeah, I normally like DC but thought he was really poor tonight. It’s like him and Bisping were watching different fights! 
 

Close fight but I thought it was clear that Edwards won overall. I really don’t want to see him fight Colby, can’t stand his shite patter and he’s done nothing to warrant another shot. Absolutely tool of a human.

Is there a way i can purchase this event on my PS4 ?

 

It doesn’t seem available via Now TV !

 

Thanks

I had the same issue, the box office app isn’t available on the ps store. I ended up getting the bt box office app on my phone and casting it to my tv. 

Another great weight up @wandshogun09!

Beer is in the fridge, take aways on order, getting pumped for this now! Got to favour Usman but I’m not counting Edwards out and I think it’s going to be a close one. 

Romanov looked like Moldovan Jake Collier. 
 

Thought that was a fun little card, some decent fights throughout. Davy Grant getting the upside down triangle was pretty slick! 
 

Merab was non-stop, such a smothering style. Not sure what’s next for him now though. Surely the ufc try and keep O’Mally away from him. 

Is that 4 out of 5 Yan has now lost? Do you give him a step down in competition to help him rebuild? I’d also like to see him and Figgy, that could be fun! 

Gone for Yan in the poll, looking at his record if you didn’t no better you’d be forgiven for thinking he’s on the slide or in bad form but not sure it tells the whole story. Think he bounces back here and gets a UD. Still don’t like him though. 
 

With the early start time I might make it all the way through this without falling asleep… 

Another great write up@wandshogun09

Solid card, only draw back is I don’t want to see Chito or Sandman lose, fan of both fighters. As you said, Bantamweight is stacked and easily one of the best divisions. So many interesting match ups to make and it’s so hard to pick winners between the top guys!

That was very impressive, Jones made that look very easy! Stipe up next then by the looks of it. 
 

Very good card overall, really enjoyed that! 

Really looking forward to this now. So many good points made about Jones, going to be really interesting to see which version we get. Either way, hope Gane smashes him. 
 

It’s obviously been over shadowed by the return of Jones but it’s going to be interesting to see what Shevchenko looks like. She didn’t look her best in the last fight. Was it a bad night at the office, is she on the decline, was Santos having a great night or a mix of the 3. 
 

Have no plans this weekend so might get a few tins and snacks and stay up to watch this (will inevitably end up falling asleep on the sofa at 11pm and sleeping through it all). 

I seldom skip ufc events and almost always watch every fight but despite having nothing today all day Sunday I didn’t bother with this event. I watch the main event on Monday and thought Allen looked pretty good but like you said not sure if that was down to him being on form, Muniz being off or a bit of both. Be interesting to see who he gets next. 
 

Don’t mind Spann/krylov being rebooked as long at it’s a 3 round fight on a semi decent show. 
 

But yeah, the next few events look much more promising! 

Did anyone bother watching this?

Same year Jones last fought yeah. 2020. But Jones has been out a few months longer,

I haven’t got a huge issue with Cejudo getting the shot just because he stepped away without losing it. But it does feel a bit weird and it’s not really helping Aljo’s reign that he’s having 2 defences in a row where the challenger is coming off a long layoff and probably isn’t the most deserving in the division. I never thought Dillashaw deserved his shot over Aldo. And I’d say both Chito and O’Malley have earned a crack on recent form. But what can you do? Cejudo never lost the belt so I get it. 

Yeah I don’t mind ol’lego head getting a shot as he didn’t lose the belt. Got a bit of a soft sport for him as I won a bit of money after betting on him to beat DJ in the second fight. 

Wouldn’t mind seeing Chito and O’Malley run it back but I guess you risk losing a contender that way. 

Very interesting fight, Volk can wrestle and Islam can strike! Really good fight, the right man won but I think it was close. 

Haven’t really been a fan of Islam but he won me over with a really good fight and his post fight interview. Would like to see a rematch but think it would be best for them to both defend the belts and not do an imitate one. 

Also Jack Della Maddalena looked fantastic again! 
 

Just watched the countdown for this and really looking forward to it now, decent fights all throughout. 
 

Gone for Glover and Moreno in the polls but pretty much 50/50 on both fights. I really think the main event could go either way but heart says Glover! I just don’t want Moreno and Figgy to end in another draw….

MMA Junkie are reporting that Neal vs Rakhmonov is being rebooked for ufc 285 in March. Glad it’s being rebooked rather than finding a last minute replacement from the regionals. 

Gutted, was really looking forward to that fight! Wonder if Rakhmonov stays on the card? Was looking forward to seeing him take a step up in competition, feel like 2023 could be a big year for him.  

Overall I though that was a really fun card with the most surprising thing being Rogan didn’t annoy me at all. I think i possibly just zoned out and wasn’t paying attention to him though…

Really not sure how they gave the fight to Paddy, you could maybe give him one round if your being generous but don’t think he did enough to win the fight. 
 

Topuria looked solid, thought that fight was going to be much closer, 2023 could be a big year for him. 

Thought the main even was alright, didn’t think it was a snooze fest but wasn’t one for the history books. Split draw didn’t help the situation and looks like uncle Dana has had enough of both of them and going in a different direction for the belt. 
 

Overall a decent ppv to end the year! 

I joined and have hardly posted but read every comment. Will make more of an effort as this is my go to place for mma info and don’t want it to vanish!

It’s not the best card but enough to sink the teeth into!
