UFC Fight Night Events Thread - Spoilers Within

Just caught up on the card now it was decent, the ref really made a balls of the Herman fight and I'd expect Rodriguez to try get it over tuned surely.

Hill crying out of her again as usual on Twitter after getting beat, close fight but not the robbery she and others seem to think it was.

Is the women's fight worth watching? I know the result so not sure if I can be bothered to spend 25 minutes watching it.

I didn't really enjoy it but I absolutely hate Hill so I'm probably bias. First three rounds were good then it slowed down a good bit.

cracker of a fight there between ewell rivera

would have been some robbery...

Alpar really doesn't belong in the ufc but even still it was a near
flawless performance from jrc

It’s crazy how dominant of a grappler Chimaev is, but having that kind of hand speed and power as well is just unfair. Future champ without a doubt.

Wow, all aboard the Khamzat hype train

She’s put in a lot of work in the gym to get bigger/stronger properly for 135 instead of being weak cutting to 125. I think it showed it there. Happy for her.

Should have been stopped earlier but that’s the ref’s fault.

Woodley isn't much different.

Tyron heart is gone. He is just fighting for a few quid.

Colby will walk through Masvidal

Cerrone needs to call it a day.

Poorest I've seen Cerrone in a long time, thinking he'll only regress from here on in but he looks done to me.
Price is exciting to watch but he's going nowhere either.

Not sure about walking through Masvidal who'll match his output especially if it stays standing but they have to make that match up
I couildn't care less about colby v usman

Would Tyron ever have beaten a colby, usman or burns I wonder?

Think Masvidal will have a 'money fight' with Diaz first then fight Colby.

I think Colby beats him comfortably as much as I like Jorge, Colby's engine is non-stop and he lasts the 5 rounds at high pace.

I think people are writing Cowboy off too early. Finished three times in a row by killers, and a draw and a decision loss that were both competitive.
If he wanted to stop I wouldn't argue, but he shouldn't be forced.
He's never going to be champion, no need to feed him to killers any more. If he wants to continue, let him fight guys like Iaqunata and Pettis, not Gaethje and Ferguson.

For his own sake he needs to, Yesterday was Niko Price, it would be the level of cowboy at this stage, but as a UFE HOFer do you really want to be fighting Niko price? if he goes up another level he would lose 3/4 out of 5 fights, he is just fighting for a few quid now using the excuse ( he will fight anyone ) id like to see him win and retire, its the least he deserves. He is turning into Ross Pearson, kept on for years to just be a gate keeper cause he is a "game fighter"

Woodley has completely lost his killer instinct, his corner (like the burns fight) told him he has to go for a KO in R5 if he wants the win and again he didn't bother.

it reminds me of Francis v Lewis when Stipe took his soul but at least he go over it and is back on the tear. Woodley just looks a shell of a man.

Colby v Masvidal isnt the fight to make id rather see Edwards get a go, but if he doesn't take it he could be waiting 9 months for usman (if he beats burns).

On a side note Colby calling Woodley a terrorist while he is in a photo with Ali along side Trump made me laugh

Yeah he'll just do what he did to Woodley, put him against the cage and look for a few takedowns. Usman did it to him easily.

What? Cowboy is pretty famously in MMA been broke and needed the money badly from fights, he spends wildly and owed a ton in taxes a while back.

Think Im done watching Woodley regardless of who he fights, boring rinse and repeat stuff from him.

Surely he'll retire, seems like his head is gone and he's incapable of letting his hands go. His style is incredible boring and bad now.

Has many other interests outside of MMA it seems, he doesn't seem that passionate about fighting anymore.

Was a really effective fighter in his day and defending the belt 4 times is a great achievement but given his age and lack of hunger, I think it's time he packed it in.

Can't wait for this one. Cutelaba for the win

Carlos Condit heading the Prelims tonight, hard to believe he doesn't make the main card on a below average Fight Night.

looking at his record I feel like I'm looking at bj penns

I don't think he's quite as bad as penn was but right now I think he's
gone at this game
I think mc gee will probably beat him

Not a great card, but my teammate is fighting on it so I’ll be tuning in.
Faces a tough opponent in Charles Jourdain. He’s has a full camp and at his proper weight so in a much better position in this fight compared to his short notice LW bout.

That was a banger. Not even going to attempt to call it

I’m obviously bias.
But 30-27 after Josh dropped Jourdain and broke his nose in the first is criminal incompetence.

Then scoring the 3rd a 10-8 robbed Josh of the split decision.
