Rory was absolutely robbed
Prelims starting in an hour.
Just gonna leave this here...
Have a good night of MMA fights, everyone.
Wow, the ladies are in no mood to tap tonight, first Procopio decides to go to sleep rather than tap and now Murata seemingly fights that second round with a serious injury to her left arm after the armbar in the first, her eye looked nasty too.
feck me, what a KO for the Immortal. I guess he got tired of getting kicked.
Two clean knockouts to open the main card.
Choi looking fantastic. Hope I dont jinx him
edit: nevermind, he dieded erosa

Why do fighters pour water on the canvas to rub their soles on? Guessing it's for grip or something.
Edit: nevermind had a quick Google and it's for grip like I thought.

Vera put a beating on Grant there, not sure how he didn't get the rear naked finish but really entertaining card so far.
Let’s go Zombie!!
KZ let's go!!!
His entrance song is the best
Anderson won his boxing match
It's funny how all the experts in the media were giving him no chance just because he was 46.
He always had good head movement and fast hands. This was no Mcgregor taking on a Mayweather.
And Chavez Jr is garbage as well. That probably helps
Gane X Volkov is absolutely fascinating matchup. I'm very impressed by both of them. Gane seems to be the more technical fighter but barely.
Volkov is the king of staying on the outside and generating damage by a thousand cuts. Wonder if he'll press the action more this time though. He might need to.

Anyone watching Bellator 261?
what is that guy doing fighting him? "fighting" is probably the wrong word. He didn't want to hit him, like something out of Raging bull. Was Anderson crying in the changing room? Load of crap.

Not sure how i feel about this.

Great fight. 265 pound Volkov scares the shit out of me, absolut unit.
But I'm slightly leaning with Gane, despite the experience differential. The guy is clearly a special talent.
Reminder that today's card is European friendly. Prelims starting in 60min.
Here we go.
He seems like a special talent ,yes, but I feel like Volkov is just hitting his prime right now...
Also, pumped to see Tim Means in action. One of the most durable, toughest dudes on the roster, while having a solid technical game aswell.
Rakhmonov looks impressive, wouldn't mind seeing him and Chimaev go at it in the near future, though Chimaev is probably looking at bigger fish right now.
Any particular reason why it’s on so early, it’s in Vegas?
I’m not complaining, I’d love if every card was this time

A few of these UFC fight nights at the Apex have been early and perhaps they avoid clashing with any boxing.
Bit boring that main event but nice to see the main event without staying up all night.

Gane looks ready for a title shot imo. He was a bit too cautious and cagey against Volkov tonight and would have to use a different strategy to stay afloat against Francis.
I think Gane vs Stipe would be a good contender fight.
It would be, although I don't think the schedules align since Ngannou v Lews 2 may take place in August, so the UFC may attempt to align Gane with the winner. I agree that Stipe would be a good fight for Gane.
What why? Where's Ngannou?
Maybe Dana being a cnut, because some time ago, Ngannou twitted that youtubers "are paid 20M dollar to Box and why we are not?" or something along those lines...
Can't think of anything else.
