Event is free for U.S. ESPN+ subscribers, but it starts early in the day. Prelims at 10:30 a.m. ET (7:30 a.m. PT) and main card at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT).

Yeah, sorry, my eyes are fixated on Dan Hooker vs Islam Makhachev instead of the main event.

I've got not no real horse in the race for Jan vs Texas, but I am expecting one hell of a banger fight between the two for sure.

Cheers Maestro!

Pretty good card. I'm interested to see Khamzat fight again, I hope his rise continues. What a lay off he had.

Are people expecting the main event to be easy work? I haven't been keeping up with Glover but my opinion of him from a few years back is that he is Mr. Good but not good enough?

 

[22:22:22]

Finally khamzat. Great card looking forward to it

I think it's supposed to be pretty even between the two only watched a few of their fights tbh but this is probably glovers last chance for title so I expect him to go all out it should be a fun fight

I'm expecting Jan to win, but not easily.

Glover has looked better his past few fights. Not sure what that means though. I think the level of competition at LHW has actually gotten worse over the past several years. So, it may be a result of that.

Guys i have the usual question, since it's in dubai and the hour is different, when i have to stop watching yt to not get spoiler until sunday morning IN EUROPE (italy).

Usually when the event is in the US i just stop checking yt around 11-12pm.

The fight is still saturday right?

 

[22:22:22]

Caught the highlights this morning. I'm pretty hyped. I wish there was a easy not expensive way to stream this. Maybe it's time to get fight pass although I guess you still have to pay extra for PPVs and I heard it's UI isn't that great

Oh well very pumped. Great card

I guess my picks are going to be Jan, yan, Islam, tybura and ankalaev. Not sure about chimaev vs jingliang. I feel like most of them will be close except maybe Islam vs hooker hard to bet against Islam. also tybura was looking fresh at the press conference leaner than I remember him maybe he has improved cardio might get a really nice fight between him and volkov

this fight is insane...ref should have stopped it

this fight is insane...ref should have stopped it

Which one? The French special forces guy that lost his 0. I counted 30-40 unanswered punches in the 2nd Rd. No stoppage. They've announced that guy won't ref again. Fight after full mount GnP for 3-4 mins, nothing. Prelims, what do ya do?

Main time.

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Ankalaev with cautious dominant display. Easy 30-27.

Chimaev picks you up, takes you to the corner, GnP then choke. Easy. I'm still on the hype train, need to see a 3rd round... Still on though.

 

[SpiceRacz]

Chimaev made that look easy.

 

[MaestroMike]

dam volkov's takedown defense I think he got this one

 

[MaestroMike]

if hooker pulls an upset...

 

[MaestroMike]

lol gotdam!! was hooker screaming before the tap ?? Respect to hooker tho for taking the fight goodness

 

[12Goblins]

Russians dominating...Cory is our last hope ಠ﹏ಠ

WOW, blachowicz got pulverized

 

[pauljeremiah]

Really happy that Teixeira finally won UFC gold.

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[MaestroMike]

wow didn't know glover had such superior ground game congrats !!

[BennyBlanco]

They finally gonna give Khamzat a fight against a contender?

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Great card. Teix was great. Rest as expected, dominant victory for Makhechev.

They finally gonna give Khamzat a fight against a contender?

He's gonna be #11, I think stick with Welterweight even if Middleweight has easier fights. Looks unbeatable.

 

[mekes]

Congrats to Glover, he always seems like a very grounded and respectful fighter. I stopped watching all of the events a few years ago and I’d say I took my eyes off of Glover after he suffered that horrible KO (Was it to Gustafsson?)

I never thought Blachowicz would be a long time champion like we sometimes get. But I did think he would get the win yesterday. My picks recently are on the level of Chael Sonnens

 

[22:22:22]

I like his humbleness

Brawl breaks out at 267, hopefully no one got hurt.
