    Have a slightly different take on that video personally.

    He’s clearly no right in the heid but don’t think because you’re an old geezer and Perry’s career is on the line if he reacts to you that you can give it the big’un and step forward to an MMA fighter.

    I don’t think anyone is claiming the old guy is completely innocent in the video.

    But what he does doesn’t justify Perry hitting him like that.

    He also doesn’t get excused for using the language he used.

    He needs serious help.

    Just thought I'd jump on to see the pre-fight chat for tomorrow. Didn't expect to see that from Perry. Sad is what it is. The thing with these guys is a lot of them are messed up/bullied etc from the start.

    You then add years of pressure, stress, training, repeated cranial impacts, self-belief, negative media etc et etc on top of that.

    I'm sure everyone on here has done a stupid thing now and then. Not excusing his behaviour and in particular, the racist language, but * me, a lot of these guys are messed up and messed up for life.

    And ill be watching it with a croissant and cappuccino on Sunday morning. I'm a bigger * than they are.

    Salikhov, Oezdemir (round 1), Rose, Aldo and Masvidal (hedge on Usman decision) are my punts for tonight. Anyone else throw a couple bets on?

    Nothing on yet but main card I fancy. Not looked at the betting line too much but Holloway will probably be a decent price for an underdog as well.

    Ribas Submission
    Namajunas TKO
    Aldo Decision
    Volkanovski Decision
    Masvidal KO (More than likely Usman decision)

    Quality card and the Main Event is going to be violent.

    Would love Masvidal to win it but can’t see past an Usman decision given the circumstances.

    Danny Henry. Bad loss. I didn’t think the choke was in, good refereeing and fair play to the other boy for his reaction instead of running off celebrating.

    Jesus some fight that. Oezdemir sparkled.

    That other boy has a weird, reckless style. But great finish.

    Great fight. Her heart and hands are something else.

    Unreal from Yan.

    Fight could’ve been stopped from pretty much 10 seconds into that round.

    Volkanovski deserves to lose for that entrance music.
