    This fight was a dud. Even DC sounds bored

    Those last two fights were absolute duds.

    Hopefully the main card is better.

    Even though its a record , the crowd seem really quiet all night maybe its because of the big arena

    Lima must be cutting some serious weight here... Or else Jumeau isn't. Serious size difference.

    Can't understand why fighters in these situations don't just completely spam the leg kicks. He probably only threw about 3/4 in that round. Surely he could just do it endlessly?

    It’s been a bag of ****e in fairness.

    Hopefully the last two fights are decent.

    Whittaker was firing lots of over hand power punches, Israel was more conservative in his approach.
    Classier fighter won.
    Really reminds me of Anderson Silva.

    Had the whole months rent on Bobby knuckles. Wish me luck

    Israel did well, he's the real deal, bit of a let down of a fight tho or is my bias getting in the way? Whitaker went 50 mints with a geneticly modified monster like

    I don't think you could call that a let down tbh.

    I thought Whittaker actually started well and had him winning the first round until he got caught right at the bell. I thought he could get this done by just staying busy but he was winging his shots and wasting a lot of energy, Israel only needed to keep slipping and bide his time. I wonder will Whittaker look at this one and think the approach was all wrong, he got caught bum rushing there, no grappling to test Israel either.

    Not taking away from the stylebender's performance, he was absolutely sublime in certain spots. He also has quite the beard as he definitely got caught a few times himself. One of the fastest runs to the title ever surely?

    Or conservative as another post mentioned. Adesanya is something completely different.

    Not the best looking ppv they have had but the next 2 are looking good so we can make do. Though this may well be a good card. I am going for Whittaker in the main event, anyone who can go 10 rounds with Romero and win both times should be the favourite in their next fight no matter who they are fighting.
    The co-main should be fun, I'm picking Iaquinta in that one.
    Called it. :cool:

    Adesanya by Sub
    Wow what a performance by Adasenya. Made it look easy, Whittaker just couldn't get near him.

    Welcome to the Adasenya era, the new face of the Ufc.
