    I did think Duquesnoy won the first and second but that is weird scoring. 30-27? Crazy

    Landed way more strikes and got the only two takedowns amazed the one judge didn't even give him a round. I thought the early takedown was basically going to be the decider with the other two rounds split.

    If Duquesnoy doesn't dominate here he may as well go back to BAMMA.

    He's certainly struggling. Hasn't lived up to the hype so far.

    Be interesting to see how Manuwa's chin is here after what Oezdemir did to it.

    I think Manuwa is going to go out blasting but if he doesn't get it early he's in trouble.

    Jimi in round 1 here.

    Needs to redeem himself from volkan defeat

    He is the gatekeeper for anyone trying to get into top 3

    Going by prior form and performances, I straight up thought he would rip through most of the division in the UFC. At the rate he's going now he wont trouble anone in the top 15.

    Proximity bias on our part maybe. Shows you the true gulf between BAMMA and the UFC and just how much of a unicorn McGregor really is. Same applies to Pimblett for example - a lot of suggestions that he's championship calibre in the UFC. Can't see it happening at all.

    Manuwa in serious trouble here. Surprised he lasted the round to be honest, thought he was done

    After the Arosa fight I thought he was miles off ufc level no idea how he got that decision serious local bias from the judges that night!

    Absolutely brilliant fight. Manuwa's blood saved him from a certain RNC there.

    30-27 Blachowicz for me. The head kick towards the end of the second not enough to steal the round.

    Yeah second was the only one in doubt really. Definitely had the other two locked up. Manuwa would have to show a bit more on his next fight to bother running that again imo.

    I'm going for a sub in 3 here. I think he'll wear him down a bit in the first couple of rounds and catch him with something as he tries.

    has blach ever looked better than in his last few fights?

    still never been knocked out other than retiring many years ago.


    not seeing anything here other than a werdum win, volkov not up to this imo
    reckon he gets a sub also second or third round

    After all this time, I am always surprised that the official outside the cage has to remind the fighters to hug their team before the vasoline gets applied. Practically every time.

    They'll do it again for no other reason than the fact there's not many fights to be made at LHW really. Cormier streets ahead of everyone except Gus, who in turn is streets ahead of the rest.

    Given DC away at heavyweight for a while, think Gus-Oezdemir might be all we can hope for at LHW for a while.

    True guess they have to do something to pass the time!
