That was crazy. Its hard not to love Nunes.
Amanda Nunes absolutely obliterates Cris Cyborg in 51 seconds
I dont think there is a bigger fight in womens MMA than Cyborg vs Nunes. If Cyborg wins, nobody beats her next year either and Nunes drops back to 135. If Nunes wins shes the best womens MMA fighter of all time. Shes got more challenges at 135 to keep her busy.
What can we expect from UFC in 2019?
I think it’s likely that Khabib sits out the first half of the year and we see Holloway vs Ferguson for the number 1 contender and Conor will fight Poirier.
I couldn’t care less about seeing Lesnar.
Hoping DC avoids Jones. I dont think he needs that fight after winning the heavyweight title and I cant see him beating Jones. He deserves to go out on top.
Super excited to see what Ben Askren can do, though it’s a few years too late. Velasquez returning is enormous too.
165 division could spice things up too.
What can we expect from UFC in 2019?
Until we find out how long Khabib and Conor are suspended for, it’s all a little confusing.
I’d rather see Max vs Ferguson and I’d be very curious to see Max’s power as a lightweight. In saying that, if neither are suspended then surely Khabib vs Ferguson is booked for a 5th time!
Mac vs Max rematch should be top priority for UFC
I think hes a little overhyped. Whittaker would destroy him if he gets past Silva, with the winner likely to have the next title shot.
Rising Kiwi UFC star's brutally honest response to fight against his 'hero'
I’d love to see the corner make the stoppages more often. I know occasionally fighters pull off a miracle come back when they look totally out of it but at what cost? I guess there is just so much more money on offer as you move up the ranks. The disparity is enormous

BBL|08 season preview: Melbourne Stars
Yeah hes generally a slow starter and just blitzes people sort of 8-10 minutes onward but he was on point from the beginning. Perhaps this was to catch Ortega off guard? Either way, unbelievable performance. I’m not a fan of Conor at all anymore. I couldn’t care less if he never fights again.
Jones wasn’t at his best for the OSP fight after a bit of a lay off and I think he needs to be at his best, but should get the job done. At his best hes a straight up killer, arguably the best of all time, but always going to have a few things held against him. I think we still have his best years to come at 31 years old which is the most exciting part.
Bones and Cyborg. Nunes is probably the best of the challengers to dethrone her but how could you bet against her? Shes an animal in the cage. I’ll say TKO round 3 to Cyborg and decision for Bones
It's time to talk about Max Holloway
I haven’t read a tonne about it and dont know the area as well as west Melbourne but what is your question in relation to in particular?

I’d be happy if I thought this was the end we’d hear about mundine but unfortunately it won’t be. He’s never too far from saying something idiotic
A fitting final chapter in the career of Anthony Mundine
I’ve quite often been found wanting more from Mooy in the national team. He is slow in transition and that isn’t going to change. He plays a role with Huddersfield which is evident by the £20 million they forked out for him and his name regularly being in discussions for best on ground for them. But is he what we need? Does he have a positive contribution within our system? It’s a collective effort but I do wonder if we could be better off without him.
Aaron Mooy might not have what the Socceroos need
Add the gear and 10kgs to his frame and he’d be doing very well to be putting down the same numbers

If you really want the test team to blossom you’d do the opposite and ban emerging talent from T20’s.

Cahill deserves every bit of praise that comes his way. An absolute pleasure to watch him over the years. Agree it’s a shame it’s not going to be a bigger crowd and against a bigger side but would love to see him score one last time.
Tim Cahill is our greatest Socceroo, and he deserves a fitting farewell
This is nothing new. Fighters should be fighting at healthier weights. State Athletic Commissions could introduce rules regarding weigh in the day prior and again before you step in the cage to stop it.

If you haven’t got anything of value to say, simply dont write for the sake of it.
Cricket has only just published an independent review that came as a consequence of the infamous ball tampering. We’ve lost our captain and vice captain who are easily the best and most consistent players we’ve had across the last 5 years, as well as Bancroft. Langer is still working through culture issues and personnel as they look towards the world cup.
Wallabies have been churning out garbage for how long now? Rugby in Australia is dwindling in every aspect.
Why is Michael Cheika constantly hammered, while Justin Langer is blameless?
Plenty of rain about today so that’s irrelevant! You’d be better chalking off the horses that need a hard track
Melbourne Cup 2018: Exotic bet help – quinellas, trifectas, first fours and more!
City should flog United if they dont significantly step up their defense. They’ve conceded the 6th most goals with 18 and only scored 19. The goal on the weekend was absolutely poor.
I’m expecting a much closer season with the top 5 all vying for the top 4 places and hopefully some of those can stick with city for a lot longer this time around but its definitely citys title to lose.
With 8 games to play we really get a good idea of who’s desperate to stay up. Those teams seem to nab the odd much needed upset but they’re gonna need to be within striking distance.

Rubbish news at such a vital time in his career. Fingers crossed it’s not as bad as first feared and we can see him back shortly.
