Yeah, Sharaf has played a blinder and he's turned the whole fanbase against Steveson. Gable Stevenson is heading into full blown heel territory all whilst trying to play the clean cut all-American card. His past is catching up with him.

I missed it but McMillen is turning into one of the bigger young stars in the sport, I see him all over social media. His style ain't built to last but we should enjoy it whilst he's here.

I initially picked Pantoja, but I think this may be one of those true passing of the guard moments. Age is gonna catch up up to Pantoja pretty quickly I think and Van is just getting better. I hope i'm wrong.

Yeah, sign me up for that. Keita coming in with confidence will make it pretty special.

Sean Sharaf gave it to Steveson at the presser. #teamsharaf

Ilia sprung back to life last night. The glove thing is interesting, I hadn't read Ilia make any kind of accusation previously. We're gonna get the rematch aren't we?

I'd be happy to see Mokaev wind up im MVP or Ki MMA at this point.

I'm optimistic because I trust Coker's ability to put forward a decent product. My worry is him putting something together that people will actually want to tune in for? I think the quality of lighter is out there, but im not sure if there's enough marketable names to make people care.

For some reason the UFC made One FC Champion Akbsr Abdullaev fight on the Contender Series, it went as expected. Dang!

If Benn was gonna stand any chance, he was gonna need a poor version of Garcia to show up, unfortunately he may have got the best version of Ryan Garcia. Decimated.

Some performance from our boy last night! Against all the odds he pulled it off. Mental little fucker.

I don't think anything is forced with McMillen, I genuinely just think he's abit of an idiot.

My man.

If anyone doesn't fancy that Benn/Garcia or that UFC Noche rubbish, get some proper action into you on DAZN...

Benn/Garcia walking at 3.50am for anyone man enough to stay up.

I'd forgotten all about the Daley fight. Yeah, that one captured the imagination. One of the few all domestic fights that felt like a big deal. ...it was Daley who tore up the script and tried to wrestle though. Huge disappointment it was.

Yeah, MVP had plenty of duds. Even the fights he won in highlight reel fashion you can pretty much guarantee were not upto much beforehand. Im thinking matching with a grappler at least means he'll be against someone who will have to close the hap.

I've seen a lot that MVP Was not given favourable match ups by the UFC, but thats complete bollocks isn't it? Garry, Shara Bullet, Ruziboev, Pattison, Holland & Cannonier. If anything he's been given more than favourable matchups. The problem is his style just freezes other stand up fighters, his judgement and ability of control distance just creates horrible standoffs. They'd be better off matching him with grapples who will want to attempt to get him to the ground.

Christ, I put Grasso on my betslip.

Yeah, look forward to that announcement. Hard to see what fighters he's gonna have fill his roster. Cyborg is the one name ive heard mentioned.

I've picked Garcia since it was announced, but you just never know what you're gonna get with the guy. If Benn can get in his way and rough him up I could definitely see Garcia's heart getting broken. If this stays a boxing match, Garcia should school him. I do see Garcia possibly hitting the deck though in abit of a flash knock down deal.

Seen that same boring argument all over social media this week on why MVP has been let go and someone like Tai Tuivasa is still on the roster. No one is mentioning the fact that it's been clear for a while that MVP has wanted out of the promotion, or that he was very unhappy with the deal he was on. He's been pretty unspoken about certain practices within the promotion. I'd imagine MVP will land a pretty good deal under Cokers new promotion or with MVP/PFL. He was always gonna leave when that deal run out unless he did something spectacular.

That is lovely! I'll keep an eye out for a link.

Only just realised this absolute belter is tomorrow... Both Rizin and the PFL belts are on the line. Shaidulloev is very much in that "best fighter outside the UFC" conversation, 19-0 with 19 finishes. Apparently 50,000 people in attendance for this too. Gotta watch.

Gotta be Serra beating GSP. Weidman's Silva victories both have an asterix next to them of sorts despite them both being clean victories. Saying that, I can't really recall how both fights played out before the finishes. Longo/Serra coaching Sterling to a title also deserves to go on this list.
