If they did that over here you would have all the gammon's going "look at the bloody woke UFC disrespecting our flag with the wrong colours".

Fight week Kayla Harrison in the UFC kit is something I never really thought we’d see. Will she make 135?

I think so. But the question is at what cost? I really hope it works out for her because Bantamweight is in dire need for something new. And the alternative, a Holm win, probably sees her get another title shot. Especially as she’s already 2-0 over the current champ. Pennington vs Holm 3 anyone? Anyone at all? 

Yeah, thought not.

Looks like TNT Sports might be showing the Fight Pass prelims too. They have the prelims starting at 11pm now.

Holy shit this just got bigger for the fighters on the card to get out and try to steal the show.

Dana white just increased the bonuses for one night only too 300 grand. 

I was excited and having high expectations for this one but it just got pushed a little higher so pumped

I don't watch mma but I might watch this one. I did watch it for a bit years ago.  I remember ufc 200. I think John Jones was supposed to headline. Then he failed a drugs test or something. Then Connor Mcgregger was then he got injured I think. I think it was Amanda nunes in the end that headlined. From what I read she is regarded as the greatest female mma fighter ever but I don't think she was at the time. It was before she beat Rousey.

Kayla Harrison made 135.

It’s weird but the most intriguing aspect of this fight to me was whether she’d make weight or not. So this fight has almost already peaked for me now. The fight itself, I’m not expecting much from it. Hopefully it’s better than I’m picturing it but the prospect of a 40-odd year Holm who hasn’t had an enjoyable fight in years vs a badly weight drained Harrison…it doesn’t fill me with optimism. Hope I’m wrong and Kayla absolutely bulldozes the dullard but it feels like of all the great fights on this card, this one has the highest chance of shitting the bed.

Part of me envisions Holly sidestepping around the outside potshotting to a 3 round decision.

Here's the new gloves:

Nightmare fuel. Yeah it’s gonna happen isn’t it? Pennington vs Holm 3 here we come.

Weidman is getting roasted:

Turns out Mark Coleman will be wrapping the BMF belt around the winner of Gaethje vs Holloway.

lovely touch

If anyone fancies a little sprinkle on this later, and taking into consideration that the bonuses are 300k. A £1 bet on every fight finishing inside the distance returns about £600. Worth a nugget.

Just looked back at the UFC 200 thread on here. 74 fucking pages!! Times have changed…

Obviously there was more to talk about with 200. McGregor vs Diaz 2 initially being planned for it, Holm vs Rousey 2 being rumoured at one point, Aldo returning coming off that disastrous 13 seconds against Conor in his previous fight etc. Then there was the whole madness with Jon Jones getting USADA’d and fucking up the Cormier rematch leading to Anderson Silva stepping in at the eleventh hour. There was a LOT going on. And of course, Brock Lesnar coming back against Mark Hunt was a massive talking point on here in 2016. Goes without saying, on this forum, any time a big pro wrestling star makes the jump it’s gonna get more attention.

But still, 74 bastard pages. And here we are on UFC 300 fight day and we’re only on page 2.
