Very lucky to escape with that decision. 49-46 is ridiculous.

I thought Valentina clearly won 1, 4 & 5. It was a close fight but it was an easy decision for me.
I'm one of her biggest fans but she lost that fight. 49-46 was a joke . Very classy from Santos as well. She'll be back. Schevchenko underestimated her opponents strength and grappling technique and paid for it. Should have used her superior striking more.
Sad to see Joanna champion go out like that. Great fighter was just too aggresive tonight, should have been the counter striker.

What a first round
great fight so far
What a fecking fight this is
This is a good fight
This is brilliant
best round yet!
Omg, thought Texeira was done there
Jiri is like a giant version of Conor’s self-image, but in reality 
Some of these strikes are crazy
Some of these strikes are crazyRound 3 went to Prochazka
Those body shots look painful
Glover to finish in this round I think.
Come on Glover
Holy shit, what a fecking fight!!
This has swung back and forth so many times
Ahhh that was the chance (maybe)
feck
Wow!! What a fight
Oh my god. Wtf happened?
Wtf
feck me what a fight
Jiri could have won earlier but too many brainfsrts... Glover a beast too.

That was so quick. What was the odds of Jiri winning by a rear naked choke?
Should run it back! Great fight, bad luck to get caught at the end
Texeira is gonna kick himself for how things ended there. Felt like he had it with 2 min to go
What a legendary fight!
Back and forth so many times. Striking, grappling, scrambles, ground and pound, submissions. It had everything.
Disappointed for Glover. He had him on the feet and made some really bad decisions in the last 2 rounds.

Absolute war and both men were true warriors. A lot of fighting on instinct, they were both so tired by the end.
50/1 just for a submission I'd guess.
One of the best title fights ever. So much fun.
Props to Glover for making it entertaining at 42, against a fighter in the prime of his career.
Great card - fantastic headliner, we knew Jiri was a beast but some very impressive defensive grappling from a technical standpoint too, he's more well-rounded than I had thought. Props to Glover too who is still at 42 one of the best 205's in the game and proved the win over Jan was no fluke. Both men tough as nails. I'd like to see a rematch given how good that fight was and how close, I think Glover has earned that considering Jan only beat Rakic because of an injury too and Glover beat him decisively already.
Valentina-Santos needs a rematch too. Super close fight that could have gone either way, thought Santos looked big at the weight and that proved in the grappling exchanges as she was super strong.
Superb performance by Weili and I think she beats Esparza and regains the belt on that evidence. Not the way Joanna deserved to go out but props to her for a great career.

That main event was one of the most exciting fights I've ever seen. Just stunning from start to finish.
We need the Nunes Valentina trilogy before they both start looking too vulnerable
I felt bad for Glover a few times, then a few seconds later he's smashing Pro with elbows and I feel bad for him instead!
Yes, I would like to see that as well. Val can easily fight in both divisions and rematch Santos at a later date as well.
Absolutely amazing fight, think Jiri wins more convincingly in a rematch, but would love to see it regardless!
