    Usman vs. Chimaev is just about to start and no thread...

    This could be a classic, shame Usman is in on short notice.

    Is Chimaev now fighting under the UAE flag?

    How many nations has he represented now? lol

    Some good fights so far,

    The fight before this ended in farcical antics in the octagon, However, Walker did look fairly confused when asked where he was.

    Nathaniel Wood was unlucky, Naimov should have had a point deducted.

    That was hardly a 10-8 first round?

    Second round to Usman.

    1-1 for me going into the 3rd.

    Was a good fight when they were fighting.

    Chimaev has it.

    Nice message from Chimaev.

    Let's do our fighting like this.

    Usman with a camp and 5 rounds would beat him

    How did they all give that a 10-8 first round. Usman did well, could have even gotten last round the odd time but think Chimaev did enough to win overall.

    DC is the worst commentator around. The bias towards Chimaev was a disgrace and he's just annoying in everything he says

    Khamzat is hyped a bit much!

    One card was 28-28 was it not?

    I have no idea how anyone gave that first round as a 10-8

    Takedown scoring is ridiculous. Third round is the perfect example, Usman dominating on the feet, Chimaev scores a takedown, does nothing with it and wins the round.

    The train has definitely slowed a bit after Burns and now tonight.

    I'd cancel it out when Usman got back up.

    I'll never understand the bias towards a takedown followed up with no real damage.

    Main event up next, should be a good one again.

    Yeah I'd maybe agree if he did some damage but did nothing in that first round with so much control. Terrible scoring imo.

    I assume the 28-28 was 10-8 khamzat and then 10-9, 10-9 Usman?

    Would have liked it to be a 5-rounder though.

    Hopefully Volk wins this with a KO and expecting another classic.

    Volk looks tiny with those in the ring so far.

    Some finish that was. All credit to Islam, what a champ!!

    Doesn't get more emphatic than that.

    Fair play to Volk but foolhardy taking it on short notice.

    They might as well do a 3rd fight for a full camp there is no fight for either of these guys.

    Volk looked a bit soft totally undercooked for that level!

    Big pay day I'm sure

    It’s so funny for the keyboard warriors to pass judgement on fighters after the fact, such nonsense.

    Give Volk credit for stepping up, he got caught, his defense wasn’t bad, just a matter of an inch higher and he might of blocked it, not sure a full camp would make a huge difference, Islam is legit and he has proved it. People saying Volk shouldn’t of taken the fight is an easy comment after the fact, he is 35, things change so quickly in mma, can’t gurantee a rematch against Islam down the line, it happens all the time, Volk had an opportunity and he took it, it is what it is.

    chimaev is very beatable in my opinion, I think the hype has gotten crazy, he is great but very beatable

    Chimaev is an explosive one round fighter. Looked exhausted for round two. Not easy to get out of first round with him but thought usman won the second and third although was very very close.


    Performance of the night goes tonthe doctor who tells a man squealing on the ground he wasnt kicked in the balls- puking and went for ultrasound after being carried from cage.

    Not sure what went on with walker but if given time to recover from illegal strike he looked to be ok to continue. Not sure how he didnt win by DQ


    The location of fight probably dictated the result.


    these fighters fighting with staph is a bit mad.

    Volk vs Hasbulla in Jan.

    Controlled about four and half minutes on the ground, dealt significant damage and Usman did nothing. I can't think of a single strike he threw apart from the one over his shoulder while Chimaev was on his back. The very definition of a 10-8 round.

    Usman definitely won the second and third in my opinion and only one judge got the scores right.

    I'm bored of the rematches tbh, let's see Islam fight Justin or the winner of Arman/ Dariush next .

    Walker was very hard done by, that was a blatant DQ.
