Is the UFC main event around 10pm?
Maybe even later. Main card is 5 bouts. Four 3 rounders the the main event.
Maybe half 10 to 11

You reckon it’s more than what Ritson-Davies did there?

Not a stellar card but solid enough for a NXTGEN show

This is a good, bad card imo.
Just tuned in and impressed by Ellison's speed. I'm always impressed with him in some way, hard to understand why he's got so many defeats on his boxrec..?

These arent NXTGEN shows. Those were additional cards
They're just shitshows badged as such to avoid criticism. If Matchroom had a better roster then you woulent have heard the phrase again.
Good main event though as a standalone fight.

It wouldn't have even been a chief support on a good Saturday Fight Night. 'Intriguing contest' is about as best as you can describe it.

Ffrench looked Ppretty Ggood I suppose.
Resounding win over Ellison in fight 4 is decent.

The headliners are 28 and 34.
Seems Matchroom’s new tactic is if a card is shite just stick ‘Next Gen’ in front of it.

Not seen the Frenchman before but he seems comfortable in there.

This is going to be 10 awful rounds.
Ritson v Ohara would have fitted well on here

Ivan Drago Hopey-Price winning a meh good-learning-fight easily.
He's got some talent, but we won't learn anything watching this - he's 2.5 weight divs bigger.

Perhaps Price will learn to keep his cool here in the presence of an opponent acting like a bit of a prick.

Hopey just bores me, I'll appreciate him more when he steps up to title level

Who was the young Brit heavyweight that dropped a decision recently to lose his unbeaten record? The name escapes me.

I agree with the first part. Still like the fight though. Jenkins is in some good ones.

It's not that recent but George Fox lost to Sokolowski in the not too distant past?
Can't think of any others.

Against the 6 7" Ivan Drago lookalike ?
Or do you mean the guy himself - Steve Robinson ?

Hopey Price is completely pointless. And Costello is woeful not calling this out as dire. What a shocker

He was a touch unlucky to be fair and beating Sokolowski over 8 or 10 rounds means youre usually good enough to go on and be competitive at English title level at least.
