Arman has pulled out. Probably couldn't make wait and blamed it on a back injury. Shame as I was really looking forward to this title fight. Can't see Islam losing now.

The Nal

The mighty Renato Moicano steps in 😐️

Still a few good fights although I was looking forward to fight #2 between Arman and Islam.

I think Merab could cause the upset against Umar

Merab is the favourite surely as champion?

No he's over 9/4 with the bookies. I've had a bet on him as I think it's a lot closer than them odds.

I will probably be proved wrong as usual though :)

Its quite clear who the commentators want to win this fight. They are all about Nurmagomedov, ridiculous. They call his strikes big ones and hardly mention Dabalishvili's.

Was thinking this as well, every strike in the 1st round for Umar was very different to Merabs.

Think it's 2-1 Merab after 3 rounds.

Murab is unbelievable, the pace he fights at is incredible. If he doesn't get the decision it's highway robbery.

Murab gets it, he's incredible and so entertaining.

He was brilliant, what a fight by him. Delighted he broke GSP record for takedown as well.

Umar did well in the last round as he looked out in his feet in the 4th.

Good call, Umar is very good but look at the resumes before tonight and yeah Merab's was amazing.

Aldo, Yan, O Malley and wee Henry all beaten so easily, while for Umar it was just Sandhagen.

Lads am I completely clueless or what , after 4 rounds I thought Merab was definitely 3-1 up maybe even 4-0, then I heard the commentator say it was 2-2. I had a big bet on Merab so thought maybe I'm being bias but I watched it back today and have the same opinion, 4-1. How anyone could say Umar won the fight is beyond me

hawaii501

Yeah i would have Merab the 1st round so had the same as you.

To be fair the only person who thinks Umar won is Umar, all scorecards afterwards were 48-47 Merab from the pundits.

Good card. Jiri v Hill was the absolute highlight for me, what a fight.

Don't know if anyone saw Dern v Ribas 2, but that was a hell of a night as well.
