Moicano is the man! Holly gave up. Justin's brain gave up. I knew Arman is legit but I was still hoping for an Oliveira finished. Bummer. Alex has that left hand of doom. Bo Nickal saved this card.

Max shook me! I didn’t think he had it in him. I was worried for his health taking on Gaethje. What a fight though!
Every other fight pretty much went as expected for me. Was hoping Jim Miller could get the win but I only threw a couple stacks on him as I didn’t think he would.
Alex is taking about moving up to HW for the Brazil card. Very interesting. I’m not sure who they will match him with if he makes the move, but HW might be too much for him.

Max definitely had the best performance of the whole night
Lopes is legit and should have gotten the POTN over Jiri IMO
The only person for Alex to fight would be Tom. Other than that it wouldn’t be worth it but the Interim title was not meant to be defended. HW is such a mess

Dana knows what’s up with JJ and should have had him fight during Stipe’s recovery or vacate the belt. You can’t give JJ years to fuck around and find out. He always finds out the hard way. Would Alex get the star treatment and jump the line at HW to fight Aspinall? I’m not against it.

That Holloway KO was bonkers. Such a fun fight even before that.
I didn't watch Oliviera / Arman that closely because I had like 8 people over but rewatched it yesterday. Wish that had been a five rounder. Wonder if Charles could have caught him with more time. But Arman looked to me like he wins that fight 7/10 times. What's with the judge that gave it to Charles?
Pereira did what was expected of him. Think he moves to HW next?

Pereira did what was expected of him. Think he moves to HW next? The guy landed the only standing strike he threw. Defend against Uncle Aiev. Then challenge for the HW strap. LHW is shallow and a cesspool of rematches.

Damn, would have been more interested in that fight for sure! I'm guessing Aldo was clean while retired and Dom didn't expect a fight offer and can't be ready for the 6 month clean period requirement.

I’m sure Aldo only wanted to fight in Brazil and wasn’t willing to wait. Depending on how this fight goes, a fight with Dom could still be in the cards.

I’m sure the UFC also really needed Aldo in Brazil for the ticket sales. That card is kinda weak.

Do Jon Jones and Spencer have something in common?

He's doing UFC a solid for this brazil card. The UFC doesn't deserved Aldo. Bastards denied him a Conor rematch when he was the(And still is) FW goat.

Why can't these influencers challenge Mike Perry?

Conor was never really my friend - Dana Blanco
What a horrendous card last night. Even Joe Martinez took some of the night off. Lol

I think it’ll be good for the sport. Didn’t Dana try to buy it a few months ago? Conor only has two fights left on his contract. How ugly will it get? Will he get a title shot if he wins in order to keep him around ? You’d think he’d make way more money outside the UFC now. A boxing match MMA trilogy with Diaz or even a BKFC match to bring more eyes to the organization.
Interesting times ahead

Interesting times ahead I cared so little for the card on Saturday, that I haven’t even checked to see who won the fights. That has never happened before. I always check first thing in the morning if I haven’t watched the card. There’s always one fight that I want to know who won, but not this time.

They can starve him, keep him on the shelf, not let him fight anywhere else, but it won’t matter. Conor has enough money and can make money outside of the UFC. I have no clue what Conor’s play is here though.

They can’t bully Conor but they can play hardball. In my opinion it’s why they took so long to give him the Chandler fight. Air him out as long as possible by the time his last contract is up he’ll be what 37? He’ll still make money but far from being a competitive MMA fighter. He’ll be doing bare knuckle obviously he has a great reason to do so. He can do a boxing match and maybe an MMA fight with Nate but is that really something you want to see from a competitive standpoint or just a circus side show?

He'll probably get Canelo within 5 years.
