I just turned the tv on for the event ive been waiting for months, and what a fight this one was. Great for karafrance, textbook bjj defense
The guy was done but that was weird. Great defence by Kai on the ground. Solid top 8 fighter for me but has no real chance against the top without huge improvements.

That mouth piece throw has to be included in the next UFC video game
For sure. Hold R2 and press X to throw mouth guard. If you miss, you take double damage with every headshot. If you connect, it's an instant knock down.
Really goes to show how incredible MM was/is. The top 5-7 of flyweight are no where near what they were a few years ago apart from Davideson and he reigned over that, and never clearly lost the belt (if Jone beat Reyes then Cejudo lost to Johnson). I can't imagine the likes of Kai or Royval having anything for prime MM, Benevidez, Perez or Hiroguchi.
Dana fecked the division to sign a wrestler with no knees left. Money first, quality later.

Hard to know what Benevidez can do now. He was so far away from Figuereido that it was hard to watch. A loss here tonight just confirms that a title is never going to happen for him.
He is really unfortunate to have spent his prime years behind Mighty Mouse, but it’s hard to see where he goes from here.

Sad to see Benavidez like this, maybe the best fighter to never win the title in his prime, but he's washed. Askarov looks good but not theat to Figeurido in my opinion. DJ would still be champ here, for me, even if Cejudo was around. If you haven't guessed it yet then DJ is the GOAT, by far the most complete MMA fighter ever. Just in case any of the idiots that hate the flyweights are in doubt because they stupidly believe they could win a fight against them. No other champion has ever excelled at every aspect of MMA like DJ has. He is basically Messi, Ronaldo, Buffon, Maldini and Nesta rolled into one.
Retire to his beautiful wife I hope. Guy is a legend but it sucks to see him take damage like this and like you said he is too far away from Figuereido to have any hope. One of the best to never reach the summit for me.
how was yadong still upright after those shots 
I feel for him, like you said, it’s hard to think of better names to never have won the title. It’s done though.
It would be great if he would retire to his stunning wife and enjoy the life he has built, but I imagine he will stay around, spinning the wheels and taking more damage.
fecking love MMA like this fight. Absolutely gripping
Madong always uprighthow was yadong still upright after those shots
Probably 29-28 to Phillips
But that 2nd round was closer than Rogan is suggesting

Exactly right you had it. I'm happy with it. 2 very talented guys in there.
Want do we think next? Is Cruz done or is there still levels to this? No shame in losing to Cejudo, so I'm not sure. One thing I'm sure of is that injuries stopped us from seeing a real GOAT in prime Cruz, amazing fighter for me.
Edit: the way he came back against TJ was incredible.

I don’t see Cruz ever getting back to title contender status but I do like him and hope he wins tonight
Also guys, Casey Kenny was revealed to be a right arsehole a few weeks ago with his comments on Megan Anderson
Let’s hope for a nice beat down down

Yeah same as. Incredible the amount of injuries he's had. Apparently he had an awful foot condition against TJ that meant he struggled to walk.
Haven't seen it, what was that?
Good first round for Cruz.
What a cnut! Barely Cruz R1 for me but close.
It’s close. Could be 1-1 or 2-1 to Cruz
Very even fight. All to fight for
The state of him and his chinstrap assuming that someone like Anderson would be an option for him at any time, never mind a “5AMer”
Competitive fight but I'm really not sure that Cruz has retained his speed as per Rogan and DC.
Very good fight. Cruz should nick it
Unfortunately Dom is washed. Doesn't have the speed for his style anymore. Unfortunate because he is an absolute innovator.
