Thompson/Holland what fight, catch the replay if you can, a fight of the year candidate if you are not a fan of grappling.
That was a good one, I had it on in the bar and I started counting down from 10 and only got to 2.
I'm a fan of Wonderboy Thompson, good on him, cracking scrap and entertaining as always.
That boy could come back from a holiday with the McCanns.
Lang may yer lum reek...

Gooooooo Paaddy the Baaaddy.
The kid loves him.
Jared Gordon is a good guy though, pretty amazing backstory to his life.
Gotta be cheering for the Padster though.
Another favourite of mine.Bryce Mitchell
I don't see Jan winning this one.
I've been wrong before.
UFC has been rocked by a betting scandal. And it’s a self-inflicted wound | UFC | The Guardian
Several investigations have been launched around gambling patterns for UFC fights. The organization must shoulder some of the blame
On 5 November 2022, a handful of UFC oddsmakers and media members noticed suspicious gambling activity before a fight between Shayilan Nuerdanbieke and Darrick Minner in Las Vegas.
In the hours leading up to the fight, Nuerdanbieke emerged as a significant betting favorite. He went on to win by technical knockout in the opening round after Minner’s knee appeared to buckle. It was later reported that Minner had hurt his left knee before the fight, and that rumors about the injury had spread among betting insiders.
The following day, ESPN reported that the fight was being investigated by US Integrity, a company that works with sportsbooks to monitor sports wagering for betting-related fraud. According to the firm’s analysis, bets poured in on Nuerdanbieke to win by knockout in the first round.
US Integrity had previously flagged a Professional Fighters League event in April for suspicious betting activity after it became clear that the fights being billed as part of a live broadcast had been pre-taped the previous month.
In response to US Integrity’s analysis, the UFC announced on 7 November that its betting partner, Don Best Sports, would be conducting a “thorough review of the facts and report its findings” and that there was “no reason to believe either of the athletes involved in the bout, or anyone associated with their teams, behaved in an unethical or irresponsible manner.”
UFC president Dana White reiterated the organization’s stance at a media scrum the following week, insisting there was “absolutely zero proof that anybody that was involved bet on it.”
“That stuff happens all the time in sports,” White said....................................
Paddy the Baddy, and then the Heavyweight title fight. Not sure what the judges were smoking, but I'd have had some when I was younger.
The UFC Fight Night from Saturday.
Garcia v Mateshate.
Apparently Rafa lost 20% of his blood.
The young Welsh girl McKenna. Gotta love her
Dana White slap fight with his wife on NY. She looks like a right cvnt in this situation but thats no excuse. You meathead. Theyve been together for 30 years. Congrats to them on that

Good on his wife.
For not going the legal divorce and take 500 mill from your 1 bill worth route.
Not for slapping him.
Conor and Chandler confirmed as coaches on TUF.
Takes place from May-August after which they'll fight. (presumably at 170)
Conor's skill better be back on point. If not, Chandler the Sparta 300 Warrior will smash him up.
Islam v Volvo on Volvo's turf.
V looking to become a double champ, 145 and 155.
I just think Islam will be too strong and too good naturally on the ground.
Get stung for a second and those Daggy boys will have you tied up before you can say Stone the Crows!
I've been wrong before.
Hoping I don't get too fucked up at Bike Week and miss this.
Damn good fight.
If only there was a 6th round. Volvo would be double champ.
Islam was spent, good to see him taken to places he's never been. But those early take-downs count.
Islam is way bigger, yes I understand how weight divisions work but it looked like a mismatch when they were standing together! Volvo didn't embarrass himself though, he's one tough little fucker and still World Champ in the division he normally fights in plus he's just had a good pay-day. Not normally a big UFC fan, but that was a good fight to watch.
A tough foker indeed.
But then again he was over 200 lbs taking on rugby league monsters for years.
A tough fight to call. As people say, Volk won the fight, Islam won the MMA bout.
Takedowns and control time triumph.
Missed it.
Sounds like it was a good one so gonna download it.
Ol' Islam apparently being investigated for cheating via get a 2+ liter IV rehydration after the weigh in. Only 100ml per via IV per 12 hours is allowed.
If found to be true he would be looking at a 2 year suspension and stripped of the belt (and victory)
In ter est ing
John Jones is the main event tonight. Should be a good scrap
