UFC FN 118 @ Gdańsk, Poland on now.

Dan Hardy and John Gooden on commentary

Prelims:
Emmett drops Arantes repeatedly in this opening fight.
Emmett wins a unanimous decision over Arantes- 30-26

Ladd finishes Länsberg off a TD into mount and lands several right hands in R2.

Alves wins a unanimous decision over Touahri, Alves mostly controlled the clinch and landed counter strikes to Touahri who was looking to jab.

Lobov is dropped late in R1 with a right high kick by Fili. Fili controls R3 with TD.
Fili wins unanimous decision 30-27. Fili is still a prospect with a good team in TAM. Lobov was impressive beating Ishihara who I expected to win, but was chasing too much here.

Emeev wins a unanimous decision 30-27. Emeev controlled the fight with leg kicks and grappling. Alvey was looking to establish the jab but Emeev countered and returned.

Stasiak and Kelleher have a even fight standing, but Kelleher controls grappling more in R1&2. Both have very reflexive technique, impressed by the quality so far. Kelleher stuns Stasiak with a right straight and drops him with a left hook right after, doesn't let him up with the follow up and gets the finish- being finished for the first time. FOTN so far.

Held controlled all 3 round by sticking to his strength in grappling, secured TDs, looked for leg locks, and landed few rights. Haqparast showed good striking but was unable to maintain distance.

Till looks huge.

[Yaari]

Wow. That's a win.

[Dave_S]

I posted this about a 30 seconds before final exchange, saw it coming.

[WarMMA]

Pretty impressive this kid just ran through Cowboy. It's his range though...he's very long and just picks at you with precise shots from distance.

Nurmagomedov v Barboza @ UFC 219. If Khabib is in form he may catch the kicks of Barboza otherwise Barboza is too quick on the feet.
