Have it in my head since this was made I was backing romero, something about rock didn't seem right against branch.
Is he the same fighter or is it just me waffling here...just a gut feeling is all.
He's changed camps which proabably isn't a bad thing.

poor ol ross is on fightpass now, badly needs a win.

There should be a few wars on this one....hunt v blaydes
I'm thinking blaydes might just be a bit too tough for hunt and if it goes three I can't see hunt getting his hand raised here.
I think anyone who can go a couple of round with ngannou is legit.
That said I'm still tempted to have a few bob on the hunt ko and there's little
doubt in my mind that he'll connect.

I like damien brown, tough as they come and hope he wins this one.

Rob wilkinson fighting a lad making his debut who won all his fight by ko in either round one or two.
I don't know how good he is as he hasn't fought anyone I know other than guillard but he looked so confident and he could be anything, his style reminds me of jon jones just fights a little more agressively.

feckin disgraceful fighters having to fight at 7am

thought the swedish card years back was bad and them fighting after midnight but this is scandalous

Glad to see Pearson back. Even if it is a token local call up.
Backing Tyson Pedro for this also. Not too familiar with his opponent though.

Predictions for the main event.
Yoel by ankle pick knockout.
Somebody here to claim he's on drugs. Somebody claim he's been WADA testedhis whole career.
