Sweet feck...



Romero is an incredible athlete. Can't wait for this fight in particular. Whittaker could trouble him with his workrate and excellent takedown defence, but then Romero can finish a fight with something freaky at any time. For all that his cardio is suspect, he does carry his power late on even when he looks knackered.
 
Romero is a fecking beast... hyped for that fight. Rooting for Whittaker.

Just finished the last episode of TUF25 so I´m ready for tomorrow night. Some really interesting fights too.
 
Fight of the year contender for sure

Holy feck, but Gathje is not going to be able to keep winning with that style.
 
In the last two weeks Schaub claimed the Strbanimal is a knockout artist and Gaethje wins most of his fights by decision.
Brendan Schaub ladies and gentlemen.
He also has a show in Manchester and asked the fans not to take any backpacks with them...
Thats quality banter right there.
 
I've seen Gaethje fight a few times before and it's always crazy like that. Although that last fight was really special. Gotta love it. I'd love to see him fight Mcgregor at some point just for laughs. I'm fairly confident Conor would win but I'm sure it would be fun. Maybe if he picks up a couple more wins it might look like a good option for Conor, as the fans would definitely be into it.
 
Fun event considering the cancellation

Very pleased Romero lost. If Whittaker hadn't injured himself I think he would have finished him late on

Now please get the bisping GSP mess over with ASAP so we can get the division back
 
Really enjoyed that card although gutted that Valentina/Nunes cancelled.

Thought Font was pure class (hadn't seen him fight before) and Pettis looked classy in there too. Definitely thought Whittaker was the deserved winner after fighting a tactically almost faultless 5 rounds. He seems a really good bloke too. Less said about Bisping the better.
 
Now that I think about it... I can see why Bisping was pissed.

Bisping vs GSP = 4MIL
Bisping vs Romero 1.5
Bisping vs B knuckles = 500k in money
 
Do feel bad for Bisping. Dude's been a warrior for the UFC for a while now. Can't blame him for wanting his last shot at that big, elusive payday. An outstanding Whittaker victory really was the worst possible outcome for him.

Hopefully Whittaker takes care of Bisping, then Rockhold fights Mousasi and the winner fights the winner of Whitaker/Bisping
