I was surprised to see that Ortega was the underdog on Saturday night so put a bit of money on him to win.

He looked good and it barely even went to the ground where he usually excels. Can't really remember much about the other fights but next weekend should be a good one.

Ortega looked genuinely spectacular. I have him as favourite over Volkanowski.

Sunday should be interesting. It’s been more than a year since Poirier and two since McGregor for Khabib. He lost his father. We know he is injury prone. Gaethje has one-shot power and is easily the best wrestler Khabib has faced. Pretty hyped!

Ortega looked phenomenal last week, I would favor him to beat volkanovski who i'm still not fully sold on

This weekend's card should be brilliant, bit pissed at having to pay £20 quid for it but with it being on at 7pm there's no way I'm not watching it. I think both the main event and co-main are real 50/50 fights. The great thing about MMA is that quite often you get to see the very best fight each other. I don't think i've ever got the predictions right for every fight on an MMA card whereas with boxing it's very easy to do so

I'd assumed it was the usual 2-3am job, that changes things somewhat

I'd pay £20 for the main event alone!

An arse second only to jon Jones in MMA. He is a phenomenal striker under MMA rules but Will never be a well enough schooled fighter to be considered 'elite', and as a human being....? I despair that these big companies are happy to pay such people again and again, and I have been no angel myself!

Jones and McGregor seem particularly odious individuals, Jones particularly. I hope he never returns to a UFC card.

What time do we think main event will be?

It it'll be after 9 when my son is asleep else he'll want to watch. He's too young for UFC being only six

I find that an interesting point of view that I had never previously thought about. I started Judo and grappling at six but there was no punches and I was certainly unlikely to see any gratuitous injuries or excessive force. Mmm. Never thought of an 'age cut off' for martial arts events. Interesting

Hearing there are strong rumors of a little bit of fiddling of the scales yesterday to get a certain big name under the limit ?
Is that even possible ? Or anyone else here anything ?
