How deep is the fighter pool? I mean, more finns and swedes are popping up recently... I get it we only see the marketable top of the pyramid, just wondering how big the pool is.

There's about 540 fighters on the UFC roster. They had around 600 fighters, but got rid of a lot of them in the past 2 months.

dam corey anderson came a long way. Feel like he was just on TUF.

Thanks, PR.

[ ] Anderson Silva

Manuwa -150
Nelson -280
Pickett -120
Allen EVEN
Duffy + Stewart -120ish

Bets so far. Likely going to take first round KO for Manuwa if the odds aren't terrible.

rofl. that clip of anderson silva doing the matrix and getting ko'd never gets old.

* – Entwistle forfeits 20 percent of his purse, which goes to Johns

Ian Entwistle pulled out of the fight on the day of the fight due to weight cut related issues... ...this is the 2nd time he has done this in a row.

The first fight starts 30 minutes later than the original scheduled time.

----------

Breese vs. Bamgbose is off as well. Breese pulled out right after DraftKings locked... Breese is "wasn't medically cleared to fight but it's not weight related."

13 fights to 11 fights on fight-day...

----------

All of the fights are on Fight Pass: https://www.ufc.tv/video/ufc-london-2017-fight-pass-prelims

WOW!

That was a big KO by Mark Diakiese!

----------

Tough way for Brad Pickett to end his career, especially since he was on his way to winning a decision.

Gunnar Nelson with the pinpoint straight punch that didn't seem hard but rocked Jouban and led to the submission. Same thing he did to Brandon Thatch, a fellow striker.

Easy win for Manuwa.

Manuwa a poor man's rumble

Blagoy Ivanov vs. Shawn Jordan (heavyweight title)
Lance Palmer vs. Andre Harrison (featherweight title)
Donavon Frelow vs. Bekbulat Magomedov (vacant bantamweight title)
Abubakar Nurmagomedov vs. Matt Secor
Bill Jones vs. Tom Marcellino
Hakeem Dawodu vs. Steven Siler
Islam Mamedov vs. Natan Schulte
Alexandre Almeida vs. Steven Rodriguez
Andrews Nakahara vs. Emmanuel Walo

Hopefully Ivanov defends his title, gets signed by the UFC and gets smashed by some random HW there in his first fight so they will stop portraiting him as a godlike fighter here ... as he is not better than anyone in top15 HW in UFC for sure

Shawn Jordan kept his head in the same spot the entire time and got finished.

Yeah saw the finish, it was pretty solid actually

edit: Was his 3rd title defense and he said he s sticking with WSOF, which makes me believe the UFC do not give a fuck about him or he s not thinking straight
