Superb stuff, can't wait for this one

 

Trying not to get too excited after the way the last one was ruined mind haha

Lauren Price barely out of second gear and didn’t lose a round really did she

 

Tasha a credit though, 40 years old and still stepping through ropes

Jonas has been lucky in recent years. I thought she was comfortably beaten by Meyer, but yesterday there was no doubt. I think she realised this was the end for her.

Some great fights on this card saturday! Nick ball is hands down my favourite active fighter atm, hoping he smashed Doheny and we can see him fight Inoue in December!

Just watched the gloves are off. What a nice genuine humble guy Liam Cameron is. Polar opposite to his opponent.

Whittaker's attitude and showboating would be palatable if he had the skills to match those levels of confidence, but that first fight was all Cameron.

 

I enjoy a good showman, but you just come across as bell if you don't actually delivery the goods

 

Paddy Pimblett had a similar humbling in the UFC a few years back, only an insanely judged fight had him as winner. He used it as a platform to improve and has been absolutely dominant in his fights since, so will be interesting to see if Whittaker takes his 2nd chance in the same way.

Frazer Clarke looks in decent shape. Lost a few pounds and more mobile.

Whittaker is a 🍆 The best sportsman don’t need to showboat they do the business whilst respecting their opponents.

As you say Cameron certainly would have won the 1st bout & Whittaker knew that, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he feigned injury when they went over the ropes!
