A bit of a lacklustre card, even by aussie standards. I've some personal interest in it, but don't imagine there will be too many staying up late you watch it.

Ashkan Monkarian conclusively lost his debut, but proved he was tough as old boots. He's odds on here to lose against Ryan Benoit. I'd like to see him do it as his team are closely connected with my own. Ryan missed weight, so kinda hoping that he fades towards the end of the second.

That was about the only fight I was interested in, until Jojo was pulled. Her replacement, Jessy Rose Clark, is a teammate and friend. She's been living/training in vegas this last year and flew back to sydney at short notice for this. Obviously, delighted for her to be getting the call up for this. She was supposed to fight Bec in the past, the fact it's now happening as the UFC co-main will hopefully make it worth the wait.
I'm picking Jessy by RNC in the second

Chap looks like The Mountain in Alex Chambers' corner here.

Kassem looking good on the ground. I wont stay up all night for this, I'll watch a fight or two and then go asleep ( I said the same thing last week and stayed up)

What a fight!

Is this card worth staying up for?

Absolutely fantastic fight !! Dunno how nobody was dropped though .....

Subcomandante Marcos

The dirty bird Vs remember the name looks like good fight?

Will Brooks is fighting soon, that is surely at least worth waiting up for?

Will Brooks and Werdums fights are the only two fights I am looking forward to. There will probably be other brilliant fights throughout the night but I think I'll head to bed after Brooks fight and watch the rest tomorrow :cool:

WTF I thought Will Brooks would be top 5 lightweight when he joined UFC

Subcomandante Marcos

Brooks takedowns are so poor, he exposes his neck like an over zealous white belt.

Subcomandante Marcos

The UFC ranking system is total ****. How the hell is Cain still #3?

Mellor

Ash started strong but Ryan did better towards the end. Very close round.

Mellor

I think Ashland was on route to squeeking a decision. Very nice timing with the kick from Ryan.

Subcomandante Marcos

Balls. Wanted Benoit to lose because what kind of a dickhead do you have to be to have your surname tattooed across your shoulders?

ASOT

Dan Kelly is some man for one man

Mellor

30-27 Jessy imo

Edit:
Split decision didn't reflect the fight. But made no difference to the result.

seanhynes

No stoppages since 3am ,crowd surely got their value for money!

Some good fights despite the amount of decisions. I think that ties the all-time record of 10 on a card?

Happy to see your friend win, Mellor. The bully that is Bec Rawlings losing is always an added bonus too. :pac:

Yeah, tied the record for decisions.
Funnily enough, Sydney also holds the record for most finishes.

Yeah, was doubly sweet that she got to hand Bec a loss.
I had the sub backed at 12-1 so was funking hard for her to finish that head and arm choke.

ASOT

Lots of split decisions aswell, decent night of fights.

Gamb!t

Werdum looked good,his cardio is pretty good too for his age.
