No chance. As it is the Commonwealth Bureau of Meteorology, shouldn’t it be called the CBom?

Ha, our new logo says BOM but don't call us that! Weird.

Sad when a world class surfer can’t get backed but If you’re not marketable, you’re no value to the brand.
He needs to get sponsored by Bunnings

$40. Holy Crap! For a run of the mill white ceramic mug!
You can get a Yeti for that. And at least the Yeti won't spill and keeps whatever drink you want in it hot/cold for hours.
C'mon fellas, it's not cheap being a hipster.
Those 80 series cruisers, mid length twins and hats with that certain "devil may care" attitude don't buy themselves.
Not to mention weekends away at Plomer.
Big UFC card tomorrow.
So what are people thinking?
Oliveira v Makhachev
O’Malley v Yan
Sterling v Dillashaw
Predictions?
Oliveira is the favourite although I think it will be a brave man to discount Makhachev considering the mental and physical fortitude of people from that region.
I think Yan could well walk through O’Malley but O’Malley has great footwork and fast hands. Plus a big reach advantage. Could see Yan getting inside to use those leg trips he likes.
The last fight I’m a bit more ambivalent about but I can’t say I’m a fan of Sterling.
My prediction is none of the local establishments will be screening it. As usual. I like a brew and a fight card. Cabs and especially Uber won’t return me to my boring arse town from anywhere that is screening it because of the distance. No shit I want to take over the lease on my local.
So multiple establishments don’t screen it? Must be quite a small town or a very non-cooperative demographic :)
Okay didn’t realise that but no different. Demographic but also alcoholic abusive micro managing publican that sits at end of bar from early arvo until closing scaring his staff and any potential decent punters from staying there or coming back. Makes most of his money from bottle shop and has plenty of money from elsewhere so doesn’t give a rats.
Yep. It’s in Abu Dhabi … early start.
Charles vs Islam is a high level fight, skill level of these two is impressive…
Backed by Bunga Bunga Berlusconi's beneficence? The more things change the more they stay the same...

This will be more interesting than a fishing shirt. I’m intrigued.
What do you reckon FR, you’re usually interested in these things?

Islam for the win by submission or ground and pound.
I hope Yan beats some sense into O'Malley either that or beats him senseless.
Barracking for Dillashaw but don't care much either way.
@andym
I can’t split charles v islam… has the potential be a technical masterpiece I reckon tho.
Charles says ko first round and khabib says islam will run thru charles ;)
I think it’ll b a proper dog fight. Charles’ experience and ability off the back is huge - and anything close to khabib is just plain scary…
Decision.
Petr will destroy shaun
What channel do you guys subscribe to? Is it an on going affair or pay for view?

Foxtel for prelims. I don't do PPV. I'll check results / highlights and wait for replays.
Prelims as the fights before? Or do you mean you can watch non title fights on fox for free?

Both. I have a foxtel box which I think is old technology now. I can record, so usually do. I don't think you can record on the Telstra version of foxtel, so if you're considering it be careful which way you go.

Just remember, unless you join in and pay the bucks, you won't get closer to your "own true nature", you'll remain a hollow shell, possibly a self-deceptive fraud.
How cool is wellness, how cool is advertising?? :)

Yeah Charles by decision.
Yan by KO/TKO. Will be interesting to see if Yan can run O'Malley down, get inside and start working him over.
I think Charles will win but the bookies don't think the fight will go the distance. (Sportsbet paying 4.20 it does & 1.22 it doesn't).
I reckon Yan will take down Sean, at least I hope so.
Charles still about $2.45 underdog …
Gamrot v dariush is also a mad scrap
Probly Foxtel

you guys watching at home?
if so, how?
Facebook, search live feeds. Always someone streaming it.
I'm really looking forward to the main event.
Yeah I see Islam is still the favourite .
I might get the man cave fired up and put it on foxtel PPV ($60). A couple of mates are keen on the idea. We'll see. It'll only be a replay though, won't be watching live.
haven't got Foxtel., I'll try Facey in the morning.
what time do the main event fights start?

Charles v Islam will probly be bout 7am -depends on how long fights last beforehand…
Gonna be most interesting as the winner will then defend against volk
That was a much easier win for Islam than I thought it would be.
Wonder if they’ll take a leaf out of the Gracies book and open up a worldwide series of Dagestani grappling academies.
Islam really dominated. He looks unstable and will be a pound for pound champion until he retires.
The wrestling is insane.
Charles last two fights he got clipped in stand up and drops to the ground which is smart against strikers however trying the same thing (3rd fight in a row) against a wrestling machine would always have this outcome.
I’m really liking Islam after tonight, even the way he called out “the short guy” volks.
If they fight in Australia I believe Islam will smash him.

Great idea. It looks unstoppable

Largely joking.
Though those fellas don’t appear to have that mercenary edge like the Gracies did.

Haven’t seen this morning’s fight yet but by the sounds of it Volkanovski would struggle to find an answer.
He’s got himself into a few sticky situations on the ground and only got out of them through sheer grit.
I doubt someone like Islam would fail to capitalise.
Have it cunts
