Menifield with some super necessary extra shots there, impressive power though.

Yeah, Menifild is a scary dude.



One of the most brutal KOs of the year. That last punch made Misha's head bounce .

Luckily it was the last fight on his contract, he needs to retire. Hopefully his brain is not too fecked.
 
Maaaan, these promos for next week :drool:

So glad it's gonna be a good time for us UK/EU folks too, it's gonna be wild.
 
Sad to see the OGs getting their ass kicked by the younger generations. That was a bad beating.

Martinez's leg kicks are unreal.


That was tough to watch Cub get chewed up by those kicks but I do like Martinez too, seems a nice guy despite his ability to kick the living shit out of his opponents :lol:

feck yeah. 11 AM (early prelims) for me, just as I finish my Saturday morning football match. Perfect.

This card is too hype. Card of the year. Dariush vs Gamrot just sprinkled in there. Belal vs Brady as well. Main event might as well be Khabib vs Tony.
 
Buzzing for tomorrow night's card, might actually order the PPV seeing as it's on a reasonable time (I normally just watch the replays Sunday morning). A bit annoying it's not included with BT Sport membership which I thought every card was but oh well.

Charles looked good at the weigh-in, bouncing around and full of energy and seems very calm and confident. I'm done writing him off at this point and I've a feeling he might take Islam out on the feet before the wrestling becomes a real issue. Equally wouldn't surprise me if Islam turned out to be the truth. A great fight and Oscar Willis had it right in his interview with Dana where he said stylistically they are probably each others kryponite which is what makes it so fascinating.

I'm also very intrigued by Yan-O'Malley, I think a lot of people initially saw this as an easy win for Yan (who I think personally is probably still the best 135'er in the world), but O'Malley stylistically isn't a particularly great match-up for him I think and it being 3 rounds is interesting, O'Malley knows how to work the clock and pace himself and Yan is a notoriously slow starter. I'd still edge towards him but he needs to put the pressure on from the opening bell.

Less excited about Sterling-TJ but obviously still a great fight, I'd edge towards TJ as I think he can neutralize a lot of the takedowns and should be better on the feet even with Sterling's length.

Brady-Belal is a good fight on paper too, I'd like Brady to win to add another decent contender to the mix but I've a feeling Belal might grind out a close decision, he's definitely a little more fluid on the feet and his grappling is good enough to compete with Brady's wrestling, ultimately it could turn out to be another dull Belal victory I think.

The fact Oezdemir-Krylov doesn't even get on the main card says it all about how stacked this is!
 
Interesting writeup, Danny. I think a lot of people are buzzing for the card as well. So many potentially great fights coming up.

What are everyone's predictions for tomorrow night?

Wait what? It's not on bt sport?!??

Also, for a second, I was like who the feck is that guy? :lol:

Chucky Olives v Islam
Sterling v Pillashaw
Yan v O'Malley

I would really like TJ to win and then admit on the mic that he's juiced :lol:
 
It's on Box office, £19.95. :(
Absolute slags. Totally worth it for this card though….I’m on holiday with the missus but we’re not doing anything fancy tomorrow night, it’ll be on the laptop in the hotel room

Ahh bollocks! I forgot this was an early event and it's going to clash with the Utd match. Football on TV and UFC on laptop, or vice versa? Or record UFC and try to get caught up by fast-forwarding between fights. Big decisions ahead.

EDIT: It's on Box Office. Cnuts. Torrent it is.

Trying to buy the UFC Box Office Event on the BT Sports TV app. I can’t find a single place to actually order the PPV.

Any help?

Haven't tried to order it yet but I don't think you can actually do it through the TV app, either need to order it through an actual BT/Sky/Virgin box, or get it through the BT Sports Box Office app/website and cast it to your TV.

Brilliant, thanks Danny!
