Antony is basically Charles Olivera’s younger bro.
The MMA thread
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
But I guess Askren himself became sort of a star (for the wrong reasons) and also propelled Street Judas as well with one of the best ko wins in history.
Yep, everybody made a shit load of money. Business wise, Dana nailed it.
European fans friendly event this weekend!

Imavov Buckley should be on the main card surely
It is, before the co-main - not sure where that graphic is from above but it's incorrect, Makdessi-Nasrat is on the prelims.
That's a tough one, I want to support Gane but I have a lot of affection for Tuivasa.
Doubt Gane gets a mark on him; Tuivasa is going to have to take so many risks to close the distance and get inside. Gane doesn't do blind, stupid exchanges, so it'll be exit; pop, pop all night or until Tuivasa hits the canvas, I think.
It got repeated on mmafightings preview as well. I don't know if everyone is going off a wonky picture though
Knock-off Gastelum up next 
French fighters have risen to the occasion so far, Ziam looked good in that last fight.

It was a last minute change to the bouts order. Good on the UFC recognizing it was a mistake.
Prelims were fun.
Main card here we go.
Jourdain is usually really fun to watch so I'm looking forward to this one.
Yep that was fun.
Wood 30-27 or 29-28.
Wood 30-27 or 29-28.
Jourdain will be alright...
Definitely, really impressed by Wood, thought Jourdain might overwhelm him but he really nullified a lot of his more dangerous attacks and was clever with his trips and kicks.
Who's the real winner?Jourdain will be alright...
It would be a moral victory but that's not the cloth from which he is cut.
Nice KO! Faceplanted...
Hoping Whittaker can get this done, Vettori really went up in my estimations after taking that Costa fight at light heavyweight but Bobby Knuckles comes across as such a likeable, grounded guy it's hard not to root for him.
Bobby! Come on you morherfecker
Let's go Bobby! What a nice performance.
Almost faultless from Whittaker, slow first round but pieced him up after that.
Masterclass from The Reaper
What a feckin round that was!!
Those body kicks were brutal, Gane with more of a killer instinct is a serious problem.
Bisping should replace Rogan on the big cards. He's far better.
Tuivasa's endurance is insane. The amount of pain he's going to be in when the adrenaline dies down won't be nice.
Gane's striking is what the HW division should look like over the next 10yrs. A true HW athlete. The sport needs them to flood the division and make it as respectable as the rest.
It's a real shame he and Aspinall cannot meet with Aspinall at his pre-injury level; but Gane vs all those above him is a very interesting set of fights.

damn
I think Gane is ready to finally take Francis next.
Would be an interesting rematch. Gane's striking has gotten even better and his camp are trying to train concentration and a full ruthless streak into him, but N'Gannou's wrestling is the biggest obstacle of all as he has the explosiveness to breach the striking and defence to get his hands on Gane, so that one is the only contest I have Gane starting as underdog in division.
He's a nightmare for Stipe and who the hell knows what Jones will come back as at HW.
Still feels weird reading that
Probably not as weird as being a bit part in a video game where Francis has just spinning pile-drived you!
Gane's WTF!? life moment.

Just watched the Gane Tuivasa fight, man what a chin Tuivasa has. Chin, Liver and every thing in between.
One of those fights where I really like both fighters, but for the storyline, Gane winning probably shades it.
