    $500,000 show money for Punk for that. His total earnings will hit around $1m. :eek:

    Same for his debut. Think that will be the last time we see him though

    Jackson should be given another chance on a ufc card but not sure if he's bothered if that happens going by his post fight interview.
    Punk should never set foot inside another octagon ever again.

    That is one of the all-time great UFC walkouts from Tai, right up there with Tom Lawlor.

    I loved Punks heart but he seems to look worse than he did in the first fight. Seemed to tire straight away this time. The first one he did well with a brown belt on his back to last a couple of mins.

    He needs to be told thats it if he has not realised it himself. Don't want to see him get beat up in some regional mma show or anything.

    Showboating, trying to do a no look punch..like Firminos no look goal..pathetic stuff, should have been going for the finish if he was at all bothered.

    Don't get the Tuivasa love. He's a big ****ing bogan who can bang and that's really about it.

    That said, Arlovski was finished about give fights ago so expect him to get knocked out pretty quickly here.

    Tai Tuivasa is my favourite heavyweight since Cain. What a man
    "a street fighter!" haha

    In the words of Louis Walsh, he reminds me of a young Mark Hunt

    By the way, people saying on twitter Punk was waiting around to be interviewed.


    I'd say thats the UFC saying they are done with him.

    Hits like a truck and is a total character in a sport devoid of interesting characters. Sign me up

    Yeah that's what it looked like. On one hand I wanted punk to reverse and get the win somehow. Would be what he deserved for acting the clown. On the other hand just shows how out of depth punk was. Takes balls to step in that cage.

    Absolutely right.

    Heavyweight division is so light these days.
    Bam Bam is a fantastic character and can KO anybody.

    Also shoeys...

    Yeah, I don't get the shoe thing at all.

    For me, I just can't buy into a fighter who can't get themselves into shape. That belly is crying out to be kicked to bits.

    1-1 here. I’d love Tai to finish him now but the experience of Arlovski might get himself over the line.

    One apiece going into the third?

    Both of them pretty gassed. Poor enough stuff from the ref giving Arlovski time, no poke there at all.

    Tuivasa did enough to win the third for me but I’d say these judges are giving it to Arlovski.

    Potentially a draw here. Arlovski with the cleaner work but Tuivasa with the bigger shots in the third.

    There's 5/6 heavyweights who'd butcher Tuivasa.
