Anyone a fan of combat sports?
I'm looking exceptionally forward to Francis vs Cyril!

Smoke a pipe and put my feet up to watch two people beat the stuffing out of each other.

Wonder if any ufc fighters smoke a pipe?

there are a few. Personally I can't enjoy watching people give each other brain damage. Kind takes the fun out of it if I am totally honest.
Not against it. I am pretty sure they're not surprised to find out they might get hurt even seriously. Just kind kills what I used to be able to enjoy about it.

I'm bummed we lost two fights on the card. I'd almost like to see weight cuts eliminated. I wonder if fighters could get weighed (randomly) several times a year and their walking weight would determine their weight class.
Absolutely, its part of the reason Khabib left, its almost harder on the body than the fight for some people I reckon!!

You see some of the smaller ladies falling over at the weigh ins, bloody ridiculous.

If Ciryl takes Francis down, it could be a problem. But, I sometimes think about the short shot that dropped Cain; it didn't look like much more than a tap. Frightening power.
Good point, and even when you're that big, it doesn't matter what your chin is made of, you'll get ko'd
It looks like it’s gonna be a good one . Cyril is a skilled kick boxer I believe & Francis hits harder than anyone in UFC history. I likely catch the replay as I don’t buy PPV. Enjoy it! ?☕
It's gonna be a awesome match!


I'm loving the lack of trash talk between the two, very professional (as much as ufc can be haha)

Overall, a fun card tonight. I thought Vanessa Demopoulos was done. What a crazy turnaround. I was most impressed by Victor Henry's movement and precision. Said Nurmagomedov's choke submission of Cody Stamann was amazing. The Pereira fight was a lot of fun. I thought Moreno might've won, but it was close enough I don't feel too bad about it. The Ngannou/Gane fight was kind of boring. The mystery of the knee pads getting revealed was interesting. I'm impressed Ngannou fought with a torn MCL, so I should cut him some slack.

Was a bit on the boring side for the main main fight, but yes I wondered that too!

Gane still has a heap of fight left in him.

We need a pipe smoking ufc fighter.

I think Sambo is probably just better than Jiujutsu based on anyone with a russian name tending to chew people up on the ground.
