    Of course she has juiced heavily.
    It’s bloody obvious.
    She looks more like wanderlei silva than he does himself.

    Is this real? Middle picture looks like 2 different people altogether

    Maybe just camera, if you compare the the top left with middle right and top right with middle left they dont look so disimilar

    No information at present about international fight week 2018. Half tempted to head over.

    Jesus. That UFC 220 card falls off a cliff after the co-main. I was half thinking of going to that one aswell. Dodged a bit of a bullet there

    That fight night card is looking sweet. Much better looking as a whole card than 219 & 220.

    I think he means counting down from the top. So main & co-main = good. The rest = not so much

    Also Rogan was going on about Jeremy Stephens 1 punch knockout power again the other night, he hasn't punched anyone out since 2011! He has only had 2 knockouts since then, 1 was a flying knee the other a head kick.

    Yeah this is what I meant. Obviously the main and co-main are outstanding but not much else. I suppose when they put on cards on the east coast they don't necessarily need to stack them to the hilt. But I am surprised that they rescheduled Usman v Meek for the fight night card - it would have been a solid addition to the 220 card, especially considering it was already scheduled for the main card of 219

    I think he is heavy hitter, but his opponents are aware of it and it's easy to avoid tbh. He's not the greatest technically.

    Will be interesting to hear Gunni talk about his future tomorrow on the MMA hour. Sounds like that KO really changed his outlook on fighting.

    Man the amount of fighters they can get per show is very impressive. Kavanagh has been campaigning for Gunni to fight either Thompson or Till for months now. I think he's gonna headline the London card against Till, he is very popular in Europe.

    I was looking at the next couple of UFC events and saw theres a card headlined by Machida vs Erik Anders. I must say, it's the first time in the my 11 or 12 years following the sport that there's a fighter headlining an event and I've literally never heard of him.

    Till won't take the Gunni fight. It's no benefit to him, Gunni is ranked lower and coming off a loss. Till's next fight will be Masvidal or Covington. I think it will be Covington.

    True but Till is still calling out Perry who isn't ranked at all now and coming off a loss. I think if offered a headline fight in England he would say yes without even knowing the opponent.

    Not sure if you're just joking, but there are 2 fighters in a headliner.

    Presumably he's never heard of Anders.

    Not joking, he said he had never heard of 1 of the fighters. Anders is the 1 he was referring to.
