Holly Holm out, so main card looks a little short. After main & co-main I'm not really sure about rest. Main a banger, hope rest of the night goes smoothly.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

This is the one I’ve been waiting for.

I’m going with Whittaker. I think he’s a just a better version of Kelvin and Kelvin gave Izzy all he could handle.

Gonna be a banger

 

[TheGreatYosh]

I got Luke, Tai, Dan, and Bobby Knuckles. Bet your life savings on it. If I'm wrong I will refund you personally.

Pretty much sums up how I feel.

Lone Adesanya bet. Hope I'm not thread Florian.

I got Adesanya as he's been more active, has decent overall mma experience, other than wrestling. Hope it goes to championship rounds and from there it can go either way.

If Adesanya wins then Costa next so he'll come up against another chin tester, with Cannonier after if he beats Gastelum /Romero, so middleweight looks good for the next year or so.

We don't wanna post as this matchup is jinx heavy. Come on main.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Alllmoossst there (please no injuries, MMA Gods)



The great thing is whoever wins this fight is set up for another Banger 5000 against Costa

When someone ask me to do anything this Saturday that isn't UFC 243 related!

 

[Clarissa]

I want Stylebender to win so he can fight Jon Jones later down the road but Whittaker is just really really really good.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I like Izzy a lot (even though I’m picking Knuckles) and think this fight could be fight of the year, but I think Jones would beat the brakes off him at 205.

Just my opinion.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Fuck yeah

Fight Day!

We made it

 

[Later Alligator]

I feel like Israel has a very undeserved title shot, but match up wise he's certainly a live dog

 

[TrainedRage]

Dis gon be a good one. Some hotties on the card too.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

And the night starts off with a nice arm triangle sub in R3

 

[TrainedRage]

best start to a women's fight ever?

The fake handshake kick to the mid by Kassem. Then Kim knocks her down with a huge punch.

Huge 2nd by Kim, KO by body shot is impressive.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Kim tagged Nadia early in R1 and althought Nadia had some moments after it just felt like Kim was landing harder

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Megan needs a win here, let's see how it falls out

edit

Forgot about Zingano fight

 

[Carton]

Nice! I always enjoy a triangle finish.

 

[TrainedRage]

nice win at home

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Good for Megan

What a chin.

Fight of the night bonus. Mularkey was done halfway through the round but stuck it out.

Yeah that was scraptastic performance

 

[Carton]

Akman should shave a rebook logo on his chest for some extra sponsorship bucks.

 

[Carton]

Jake Matthews on cruise control to victory. Tidy performance, if not exciting.

 

[Max_Po]

Anyone watching stream ?

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

I got Al and Robert.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Yikes, lights out

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

That walk off KO. I forgot to look, was there ring girls for that fight? I remember some wack jobs were trying to get them banned from Australia.

feel like the people of Australia would just laugh and call you a cunt if you try and do that

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Karate Hottie one of the most underrated butts in the game. I like the way she’s put together.

That’s a good fight with Joanna

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Every time Tui throws a leg kick, Spivac counters with a hard right.

Maybe make an adjustment there, bud

edit

As I was typing this another Tui leg kick leads to counter straight right hand and takedown. For sure stop throwing those leg kicks

Spivac out hustled Tui, the combat sambo background meant his grappling was superior & that choke.

[JareBear: Remastered]

Hooker lookin like a problem in R1.

Let’s see if Al makes adjustments

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Al needs a finish in R3

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Dan did a great job v Al. Similar stylistic match to the main.

Main time.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Hooker has some skills, for sure. Great callout of Poirier. My money would be on Poirier but it’s a fun fight

Intro to the Liam Neeson “Taken” line, lol

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Bobby has been real close to landing right on the button a few times already. Izzy landing jabs at range

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Oh WOW

Izzy was looking strong in the last minute then lands flush right as horn sounds.

Uh oh.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Izzy has him shook

cmon Knuckles

not looking good

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Damn son

Izzy looked fantastic once he shifted out of first gear.

damn.

I’ll always wonder if all that damage Whittaker absorbed from Yoel is just something that takes something away from him permanently.

Izzy vs Costa is gonna be violent as fuck

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Ade won a close 1st with that knockdown.

Daaaaamn, the counters were too easy for Ade. Whittaker was too eager and Adesanya with a great KO.

Adesanya v Costa is coming. Can't wait.

 

[Black_Stride]

 

[Soleil rouge]

What a weird fight. Whittaker looked fast and powerful, but the result makes you wonder if Romero ruined him for good. Backing up while sticking your chin out like Adesanya usually leads to getting brutally KO'd. Whittaker lacked the reach and accuracy to get to him.

Adesanya vs Costa will be interesting to say the least. Blinding speed vs vicious body punching.

Style Bender's intro

 

[mekes]

I wanted Israel to win because I think he would make a more interesting champ. But I had Israel as the slight underdog in this fight. I’ve seen Robert walk through bigger shots and keep coming forward and I thought that would prove the difference in this fight. I thought Robert might grind him out. I guess there is a lot to say about precision. Israel got out of the way of so many shots, but he often disengages to stay in the pocket for his counters, which makes for such good entertainment. I haven’t watched a fight so wide eyed for quite some time.

 

[Carton]

I caught the main card late. Israel was very disciplined, whilst Rob looked a little rough around the edges. The head hunting approach by Whittaker really played into the hands of Adasanya and I was surprised Rob’s offense didn’t incorporate some takedowns -- the way Israel leans back to evade the follow up punches would seem to leave him vulnerable to a power double. Adesanya vs Costa should be exciting. Rob is young, but I do worry he’s a little battle worn; hopefully he proves me wrong, because he’s a very likeable fighter.
