    Usual times. Early prelims 11.30. 1-3 + 3-6 on bt not ppv

    This looks an absolute cracker of a card and don't think there'll be too many bad fights.
    I can't call half these fights.
    The main looks a formality for Nunes, spencer is tough but to me that's about it.
    She looks so slow in comparison!

    Cody needs this win badly and I hope he gets it, would love to see him back in contention.

    Can't wait for this card, as far as numbered cards go it's not stacked with household names but on paper some absolutely cracking fights!

    Sterling v Sandhagen im looking forward to the most. Interested to see how Hooper gets on also, Bruce Leeroy is a tough fight with the amount of experience he has.

    Some decent intriguing fights but more for the hardcore. Pretty bad card for a PPV event! Some recent fight nights have been equal or better!

    I think if you took away the nunes fight and maybe the cory fight it would probably be a fight night
    so many close match ups on paper, there'll be plenty of wars and exciting finishes all going well
    If I'm being honest I wasn't certain that this was a numbered card :o

    I'm going for lots of finishes again tonight. Like last week, the small cage brings a lot more engagement.

    I checked out if interest and last week 6 stoppages and 5 decisions. That pretty much on average for ufc events with historic stoppage rates at an average of 55%

    Jesus, it seemed like more. I suppose the final 3 fights all went to decision, with the main and co-main being flops compared to everything that came before.

    Quarintillo v Carlyle and Chookagian v Schevchenko were very entertaining decisions though with a hell of a lot of strikes thrown.

    Slick from Burns. Thought Dunham might have stunned him with the striking but seemingly not.

    Great turn around for Devin Clark there, deserves that win after such a tough first round. As to how one judge scored Clark as winning the first round well that's UFC judging baby

    Alexander Gustafsson on his way back out of retirement but I don't have much faith we'll see him anywhere close to when he was a world beater against Jones in their first fight.

    I really like this card.

    Chase Hooper v Bruce Leeroy is interesting, Chase by sub perhaps.

    Can’t wait to see O’Malley again, Wineland could make it to a decision though.

    The other two bantamweight fights are so tough to call. Head says Assuncao and Sandhagen.

    Spencer is really durable and could push Nunes a bit. If she can close the distance and get some takedowns it will be interesting.

    Apparently so. He's meant to be lining up a fight with Werdum.

    I assume it's a stepping stone back to LHW, can't see him hanging around at HW after Werdum

    It was tape on his ears. He wears those big disc things in his earlobes that stretch them out.

    Caceres looks like a pokemon evolution of Hooper.

    Man v Boy there. Big step back required for Hooper. Keep him away from strikers, let him develop.

    Yeah, the hype train was fairly cooled there. I think he's far too young to be in there yet.

    Now for the other hype train but I think O'Malley is the real deal.

    Yeah, that's the hype train I like. O'Malley is gonna go all the way, he'll be the biggest name in the UFC some day soon.
    Loved the way he just walked away after the shot..

    O'Malley's fighting style reminds me so much of McGregor.
