Seen how big he looked man haha

If I came home from work and caught him in bed with our lass I'd be tucking the fucker in and sleeping in the spare room.

Watched the tyson v Bruno documentary the other day and was shocked when they both weighed in around 200lbs. I used to think they were huge. Hes just south of the limit and hasn't an ounce of fat on him.

Makes Anthony Joshua look like he has a dad bod. Perfect physical specimen. I think I might be gay for big Francis.

Exactly. There were question marks about whether Ngannou had improved his all round game since the first fight. He looked awful against Lewis and then had 4 quick KO wins but safe to say he has rounded his game out.

I think there's a lot to see from here yet like, but he's definitely improved. He only had to stop one takedown and then attack off it... Would be interesting to see if he can stop chained takedowns and sub threats as well - that's a different game. All said, he improved and deserved the win though.

Oh aye I agree but he did just make the best heavyweight of all time look out of his depth. I'd like to see the trilogy to be honest.

Aye, broke his collar bone

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

Aye, broke his collar bone

Till has? He gets loads of injuries - needs to stop hard sparring.

Aye, landed hard in training

 

[CheersMarra84]

Kevin Holland stepping in apparently

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

Till getting injured and Holland stepping up to the fight is probably the shortest odds double you could get in sport.

 

[Ciro_DiMarzio]

Getting injured just over a week out ffs.

Nate Diaz v Leon Edwards announced as the Co-Main for UFC 262, surprisingly it’s 5 rounds.

From falling as well. The way they train at that gym is ridiculous, so many injuries due to too much hard sparring and hard rolling.

The first ever 5 round non title fight as co-main event in UFC history.

Some scrap this will be.

Strange match up. Edwards will be able to do pretty much whatever he wants with Diaz like.

Didn’t see that coming at all.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he beats him and they use that to set up a masvidal fight.

Nah. Edwards will rag doll him. He's never beat a proper welterweight iirc.
