None of the fights on the card particularly interested me.

McGregor can stay retired for all I care. He should go join the WWE and stay there.

Yeah, a couple of the fights on the main card were fantastic to watch. Plus some major respect earned in the main event!

[DocJock]

Yeah, that main event was as brutal a beating as I've seen.

Could easily have been 50-40.

Garbrandt though... Wow.

Although O'Malley's was also superb

[DocJock]

Aye, I reckon O'Malley was dreaming of spending his $50K bonus, then BAM!

I've only caught the highlights but both very impressive.

Masvidal stepping up to fight Usman this weekend with 6 days notice for the title.

[danpalmer1993]

Some great fights scheduled for this weekend. Interested to see if Masvidal can step up at this short notice.

[DocJock]

Whilst I'm looking forward to the Usman/Mavidal fight, I'm so bummed about GB missing out. His last three or four fights he's been sensational.

Looking forward to this. Card is properly stacked and the “Fight Island” concept is intriguing.

Looks like a great card. Wonder if its worth putting a tenner or so on Rose, Masvidal, Aldo and Max...all the underdogs , cos these are LIVE underdogs, every one of them!!

My mistake, Rose is favourite. A tenner on her and the other names who are live underdogs brings back £380..now, WHY are they such big odds?

[biggbn]

No spoilers but I really enjoyed Rose and Aldo fighrs last night, technical excellence on display, Aldo fight was proper , almost Muay Thai vibe, all fought in the pocket. Haven't watched rest of card but know the results.

[DocJock]

Aye, the Aldo fight is a cracker Yan is going to be champ for a while I think

Re the co-main and main I felt Max deserved a 47-46, but round three was tight so no controversy really

Jorge simply got 'Usmaned'. It's not the most exciting style, but it's up to the opponent to get him off them.

[AJB88]

Watched it all as was on nights, some good fights!

I feel that Rose's opponent wasted most of her energy bobbing her head around excessively.

[ben5575]

If you get a chance, watch the first fight of the night in the early prelims. I'm biased as I had a mate in there, but it was fun if not the most beautiful demonstration of MMA

Unlike Rose who I could watch all night. Her control of range and ability to fight moving backwards is beautiful.

[DocJock]

Just watched the prelims. Blow me, that finish in the feature event!!

Agreed re rose. Wonderful to watch, spatial awareness and control of the space she and her opponent want to share is wonderful. Beautiful jab, footwork of a good boxer. Has she got the power to keep the Chinese kid off her though?
