Epic fight. This was the fight I looked forward to most on this card, and it did not disappoint at all.
What a cracking fight
Surprised by Burns! He could actually win that!
Yeah he took the third. Shame for Gilbert, ran out of time at the end of the second. Amazing to think these dudes are the same weight, Chimaev is enormous
That works out really well for Dana. The hype train keeps going and Burns comes out of it looking good too so he can stay in contention.
I wouldn't even mind a round 2 of this fight again.
That was the right decision but the punch in the second round by Burns was one of the craziest I have ever seen
Colby is next
Yeah I thought the same but clearly the crowd had it for Gilbert. Either way the fans won. Now for the grudge match
Never seen Khamzat this busted up before. Great fight.
On the evidence of that, Colby will get brutalised. I’d be somewhat surprised if he accepts the fight tbh
Now we could see that Khamzat still has a lot to learn. But it was probably a very good experience for him. He knows he has a decent chin at least.
Colby is tough as feck and has better cardio than Burns. I think it'd be a really close fight.
Wish that would have been 5 rounds. What a fight!
No streams?
I really struggle to stream ufc for some reason!!

I wanted Sterling to win the first fight, but now I'm rooting for Yan.
Yeah it really would have been better as a main headliner event rather.
He’s got great cardio, yes, I just think Khamzat is so huge, I can’t see Colby winning on the ground or on his feet
Anyone actually think Sterling wasn’t play acting after the knee?
I think 3 rounds was perfect for it.
Burns wouldn't have been able to have the output he did if it was 5 rounds, he was already looking tired in the third round. Two more rounds and Khamzat just wins comfortably I reckon.

Would be hilarious if Aljamain wins again
For the MMA historians, when was the last time an unranked guy fought someone ranked way higher but was still the overwhelming favorite?
Some impressive running from Sterling.
Aye, Yan often seems happy to drop the first round on the cards but Sterling didn't do enough to steal that imo.
Holy feck, things have took a bad turn for Yan 
Should be a 10-8 round that
That was Aljo’s chance
USA! USA!
That could be two 10-8s.
A little disappointing he didn’t get a real sub attempt in there
Comes down to that first round. I'm tempted to score it a draw for the lolz
This is not the Yan i expected, wrestling with Sterling?
Yan edges it for me, or a draw.
All Sterling was looking for all match was to take him down, got it right twice and failed the rest of the time. Did Sterling even get 10 strikes in standing?

Yeah I thought he had it in the bag with that much ground control.
Yeah I could see a draw happening, but if anyone should win, I think it's Yan.
Bad tactics from Yan. Fought Sterlings fight tonight.
Couldn’t believe he just went for back control at the end….bizarre. Also couldn’t believe they tagged hands. We’ve been had!
Lets go Aljo!!!! Love to see the underdog win
Okay looking back at the score card I understand giving it to Sterling, still think it was a gass fight.
