    He got caught, it happens.
    That uppercut would have knocked an elephant out.

    I imagine he'll be more cautious now after nearly being decapitated

    Didn't think I'd see a better uppercut for a good while and then Ortega goes and knocks Frankie into orbit :eek::eek:

    Curtis Blades is no Ngannou. He nearly got stopped by a pensioner in his last fight.

    Blaydes' striking is terrible so if he can't get Overeem down we'll see Overeem going back to being cautious and outpointing him, maybe a late stoppage.

    Man the 4 UFC events after the London show are looking fantastic on paper. I see Aldo is calling out Jeremy Stephens for 224, it probably won't happen that soon but that's a fight I'd like to see.

    Aldo is just running down his contract I reckon. Wouldn't be surprised if he lost, even though technically he's head and shoulders above Stephens.

    How or why do you think he's "running down his contract"? He fought for the title twice, lost both, now he's looking for an available contender to fight this summer..

    Rumours that Romero v Whittaker is to be the main event of ufc 225

    Because he's asked for release before, said he wants to leave the UFC, said he wants to try boxing etc etc. I don't think he's really up for playing the gatekeeper role in the UFC. He know's he won't be champ again. He'll end up in Rizin or something

    Stephens whoops Aldo if they fight I reckon. The usada era hasn't been kind to Jose. Doesn't help that he's fighting killers I guess but I think he just has too many miles on the clock at this stage either way.

    Will Aldo either say or use a pic of "Who the fook is that guy" if they fight?!

    Dannis' first MMA bout it confirmed for Bellator's Chicago event next month.

    Opponent not confirmed but they have a strong lead on a PE teacher from Oregon who once went to the Team Quest gym to get a photo with Chael and Randy and wrestled for a year in highschool.

    Seeing as what happened to Pico in his debut, surely Bellator will be taking no chances!

    You're right, that PE teacher would be way too dangerous for them to risk.

    A Bulgarian binman more likely than PE teacher

    Can't wait to see which McGregor instagram post Danis steals next.

    Pity it couldn't be CM Punk against Danis! That would be a ratings grabber!

    Probably will be a guy who once put on a UFC t-shirt!

    There's a raffle in the crowd on the night to determine who fights him.

    I see Tonon is making his debut soon. I'll be very interested to see that.

    Bit surprised to see people reckoning Stephens would school Aldo. I know MMA math doesn't always hold true but Aldo absolutely demolished Frankie, who in turn demolished Stephens.

    I'm guessing the long-time friend is CM Punk since he has a 'not officially announced yet' fight coming up in May and has been a regular on the show for years. Also how they get so many big names onto that show so often I don't know but it's very impressive all the same.

    I doubt it's hard for them at all, it's the biggest platform for fighters to be heard. I think a few even try get on it themselves.

    Dillon Danis gets a lot of stick for his online persona but the chap has class jiujitsu. He'll cruise through his early MMA career with his jiujitsu alone, imo.
