First fight started at 8.30 our time. It's been a good card so far. Plenty of action in most of the fights.

Did he just call out bisping?

Yeah, that was a strange one.

Very.

The list of people that Bisping is willing to fight is very short and very exclusive and Tavares name is not on it.

Great scrap between Moraga and Reis. Love the way Moraga fights, boxes beautifully and can scramble with the best of em

Who has everyone got for main event ?

Can see Poirier having success early but hose leg kicks might slow him down . Should be a great scrap !

Cant help but feel like its a case of when rather than if, Gaethje knocks Poirier out.

Dustin is game as they come but very hittable.

Was never going to go to a second round once Shoeface landed the double.

Toss of a coin for the main event for me. Dustin is much improved lately but Justin is so durable.

Main event: I listened to Poirier on the promos, might not mean much but he talked a lot about wanting to "be there to walk his daughter down the aisle", etc, and it just made me think him being that extra wee bit cautious in fatherhood vs a maniac like Justin could mean lights out in a split second opportunity.

Tl/DR: I am picking the maniac Gaethje

Subcomandante Marcos

Casey looking a little tired now?

I had 10 quid thrown on Karate hottie mainly cause she is hot lol

Subcomandante Marcos

Tense ending, I'd give it to Waterson over the three rounds but you never know with the judges.

Hoping WAterson can earn me a few euro but with judges you never know lol

Subcomandante Marcos

Here comes the fireworks

Charlie Conway

Anyone watching this on mobdro?

Subcomandante Marcos

Vettori needs to just go all out.

Amazingfun

This is a frustrating watch, c'MON Italy!

ianob7

Good fight! Israel should get the decision

Subcomandante Marcos

Easy 29-28 for Issy.

How can they give Vettori two rounds?

Subcomandante Marcos

There's massive holes in that ground game. He gets mauled by a good wrestler.

Exactly!! Vettori wasted all that top position he had . Was just too tired

Amazingfun

I am praying the Carlos of old is ON tonight, was so hard to witness his last outing....#nailbiting

Subcomandante Marcos

Lovely scramble by Condit, unlucky not to finish that.

Amazingfun

Dammmit anyways

Subcomandante Marcos

How the hell did he not burn his arms out.

Subcomandante Marcos

Up next, the #1 contenders fight for the "most violent man on earth" title, both will want another crack at Eddie to try claim his title.

Amazingfun

Hard to grasp it's the main event and the Sun's not about to come up

WAR GAETHJE!

Whelo79

I'd be in bed already if the two women's fights didn't go the distance!

miocicmma

Wasn't one bit impressed with Adesanya, Next big thing? I don't think so

I'm going for Gaethje by stopage in the 3rd

Subcomandante Marcos

Justin does not like when he's hit in the body.

Subcomandante Marcos

10-9 DP for me.

Amazingfun

Justin already looks like he's gone 5 rounds, lol......madman!

Subcomandante Marcos

20-18 DP.

He deserved a point reduction, his eye was bleeding

Subcomandante Marcos

29-27 in favour of Dustin. This isn't getting to the end of round 5 though.

I'd have scored that to Justin but the deduction of a point makes it 9-9 round.
