Also...... december 7 in Brisbane, James Te Huna v Shogun and Mark Hunt v Bigfoot. Could be worth a trip across.

Ha Nix v Roar the following weekend but here. That almost worked out hilariously well!

What Origami? Yeah you get some terrible paper cuts in so seriously sensitive places.

Where's Junior when you need him to add class to this thread?

I liked it in the fight a little while back when that one guy smashed that other guy in the face, and he was all like "aaaaahhhh, ma face" and all that.  Wicked.

Sorry - missed this thread.  
If it doesn't involve Megan-Kate and Evie (BFF team from impact pro-wrestling/Mana Mamau) then it isn't a real sport as far as I'm concerned.

Finally caught up with all my mma! Anderson, oh dear, that was horrible. And crazy for a career kickboxer.
GSP, my fav but that was an awful decision. Had it 3 clean rounds hendricks and 2 maybes. I won't watch again but I think he was hard done by.
Ronda is a machine but so ungracious in defeat she should play cricket for aus!
Mark Hunt, brutal fight, well done. Should not have been 5 rounds.
Dylan Andrews, very unlucky. Freak injury but that's mma sometimes.

UFC 169 this sunday.
135lb and 145lb belts on the line. Great stuff having 2 title fights on a card and also Frank Mir v Alistair Overeem, both kinda fighting to stay relevant at heavyweight.

Bump!

Just finished UFC 187, one of the best cards that's ever been put together. Only UFC 100 could rival it, off the top of my head. Still puzzled as to how boxing is still more popular than MMA. More history and obviously an Olympic sport but fudge. If Mayweather and Pacquiao were mixed martial artists, they would have fought at least twice already, the first time would have been in their prime or earlier, and it would have been cheaper to watch!

Who watched 229 then? Absolute mental ending.

Khabib Twitted him though.

Some good fights on that card. A real shame how it all ended. It's turning in to WWE. 

I'm not a Connor fan but can't believe Khabib flipped out like that to jump the cage to go after Dillon Danis after the win! There's got to be consequences for that and Khabib's corner causing so much shark

Best parts of 229:

El Cucuy was just his typical self, as usual, stealing the show.  What a fight! Can't believe has was 6 months back from serious knee surgery. He is a crazy MF.

Derrick Lewis. And his post-match was hilarious

And Michelle Waterson was excellent, especially the elbows from the bottom when apparently Herrig was going to ground and pound her.

Still think 217 my favourite of recent memory with the three champs getting beaten and my girl Thug Rose winning.

Oh yay! I was gonna bump this then forgot about it.

Crazy series of events afterwards but aside from that, good fights across the whole afternoon.

It will be interesting to see what comes of the shenanigans. Khabib had hinted at retirement if he won but Conor tweeted he's keen on a rematch. I'd personally prefer to see either of them fight Tony Ferg.

Derrick Lewis, hilarious! His comments after were classic but his interview with Tyron Woodley and Michael Bisping was maybe better. He doesn't train much, at all!

So what was everyone's fight of 2019?

Just from memory I would probably go with Adesanya v Gastelum or Miocic v Cormier 2.

Missed this! Will have to have a quick look through the cards for a refresh. Both of those were epic though! Was Yair vs Korean Zombie last year? That was good!
