I reckon Colby starts quick and puts a pace on Usman but Usman power shots will eventually slow Colby down and i reckon a 4th round stoppage win for Usman ,

WW for me is a very poor division but people always say the opposite,

Colbys last 2 wins are Woodley & Lawler & a light weight in RDA before that,

First fight was an absolute banger. Looking forward to this one.

That really was some wallop to break Coby's jaw.

Usman has 100% takedown defence...

That is insane.

Last time out Colby stayed on his feet and kickboxed. He didn’t really go for ground, and grappling is his strong point. This time I expect that record of Usman will not be still standing at end of fight.

Grappling is also Usmans strong point so any takedown is going to be extremely difficult. Big gamble to expend that much energy for potentially no gain. Hopefully though. I think Colby needs to show something new. Both guys are extremely good but I think Usman beats him 9/10 times

Unreal card, i can't **** wait for Rose v Weili, will be an absolute cracker!

That one is kinda funny though

All the nerds and virgins will be crying tonight when Colby reigns supreme.

Cracking fight card. 2am main card and 12pm for the pre lims due to the clocks going back.

Looking forward to seeing how Ian Garry gets on.

Man Vs ManUre

That was an entertaining press conference the other day. Colby calling John Morgan a ‘flabby butt’ is an all time classic. Lol.

Is BT sport the only place to watch this?

Yep I think so, in Ireland anyway.

The surprise is that it isn’t bt box office meaning you can watch it with a now tv pass, and I was told by Atlantic Dawn the only reason for that is Canelo is boxing in Vegas at same time and that took the box office spot for the night.

Best part was when it was coming out of his mouth he almost broke character and laughed at his own joke.

Pulling for Colby tonight

It's a great card but the one I can't wait for is Gaethje v Chandler. Not even sure who I want to win. Will be interesting to see what Chandler's game plan is because I can't see him surviving a war with Gaethje.

I've a feeling colby will get it done this time but not sure what method

I'd like to see chandler win also.

funniest part of that presser for me https://youtu.be/wqyGgkypg9E?t=1559

Gaethje should just keep his mouth shut at all times.

https://youtu.be/MDBGXy1EsB4?t=943 hard to believe this woman is 55 😍

Homelander

I was thinking that earlier. She looks amazing, obviously she's had work done but she looks very natural. Could pass for 20 years younger.

Meanwhile, jesus the size of Joe Rogans head compared to his body. And he literally the same height as Rose and Weili, dunno how all his bio's have him at 5ft 7.

Gian Villante on that Domino's Diet, thought I was tuned into the wrong event there for a minute.

Clocks went back last weekend so it should be 3am like normal for the main card?

eagle eye

First time I seen Chris Barnett and he's immediately become one of my favourite fighters.

mailburner

Ian Garry up next

eagle eye

Great start for Ian Garry.

rob316

Savage knockout, he was getting hit there throughout that round though. Big grin from Shelby as he was leaving the cage.

Mehaffey1

Chris Curtis with that Fight Against the Tide against Phil Hawes. Big shot lights out, always great to see these moments against the odds in MMA.

Somewhere down under Adasanya is worried

Great prelims hope the main card continues in the same vain

Need to get back to the Trampoline Park with the kids, build myself a promo against the Best Lightweights in the World if I can learn a backflip

Sweet jesus what a round. Amazing from both men.
