That hatShavkat
He's an absolute savage. Respect to Neal as well. One of the most underrated fighters around imo, and he put up a great effort. Thinking about it, Neal vs Jack Della Maddalena would be a great fight to make. As for Shavkat, I can't wait to see him vs top five fighters, and he seems to have a great chance against any of them.
Yeah some great fights for him in the top 5. Hopefully KHamzat can stick around at WW long enough for them to fight. That one would be crazy.
Rooting for Alexa Grasso next. I think she has some chances here. Definitely the better opponent for Valentina as of late.
Oh man
. One of the most exciting fights that could be made in the sport. I literally have no idea how that would go. Good effort from Grasso so far.Let's go Alexa!!
Holy feck . Cost me £16 from the bookies, but I'll forgive her.

Loll, that's what you get for doing spinning shit
Yeah not sure what Shevy was thinking...she was winning the fight.
I actually went outsidr cause I thought that was in a bag, came back and then saw the belt around Grasso what was Shev thinking, she was cruising to the W.
what was Shev thinking, she was cruising to the W.Shevchenko seemed to me to have lost motivation. She was arguably beaten in her previous fight. Great win for Alexa. Fair play. She seems likable. I think Valentina will come back motivated and kick her head off.
Half at best I think.
I have no idea what think of this main event. I know Gane is class. But how good can Jones still be? He looks fat and slow but claims he moves faster than ever. I thought he was on the wane a little years ago and could have quite easily lost decisions to Gus or Reyes. Yet he's one of the best ever. I'm 50 50.
Three years out of the sport and still gets to come out second.
Bullet finally lost and even though she might win the rematch, i think it's clear she's on the decline now.
Hope Gane can take out Jones. Great fighter but can't stand listening to him. Ciryl is just way more relatable and cool.

Looks flabby AF
Shavkat Neal and Gamrot Turner were such good high level contests as well.
JJ already looks gassed.
Literally the first time I want to type 'LOL' as a solo post.
Wtf
This.
What just happened...
Jones looks like a beast
Didn't seem to matter.
Was over the literal moment he got his hands on him. As expected.
Gane looked utterly terrified from the moment he was clasped.

'Kin hell. I can't stand the guy but that was emphatic.
He really did. He looks so out of shape. Obviously still has amazing technique.
That was way too easy. Feel for Gane, but can't dismiss the mind of JJ to see that opportunity and take it.
We need a rematch though. That was too short.

What a shite fight
What happened...be better than the match thread...Jones just got berserk and fecked him up? He was a massive favorite.
I thought he looked old but as soon as he manhandled Gane and then mounted him at the cage it's was over. He's back.
Disappointing fight but Jones fight iq still unmatched. Stipe next
Yep, that's what this was, a moment of IQ brilliance. Gane wasn't even thinking he could get choked in that position. Seconds later he was tapping.
The catch counter straight to prevent the leg movement is a demonstration of the genius I referred to. I didn't see that coming, but in hindsight it makes perfect sense as it's a mutli-fold manoeveure that completely negates striking into exit positions and puts him into range to clinch.
As usual, the sociopath backs his words: he said he'd make it look easy, and he even outdid that.
Let's see who provides a challenge for him at HW; bridging that quality and intelligence is something the HW division has never seen or encountered before.
Jones is a genius, and that's a massive problem for opponents.

Took him down and choked him out. Gane looked like he wanted to quit as soon as it hit the ground. He wasn't that big a favourite beforehand.
I stayed up for that =/
Stipe giving no inkling that he is remotely interested in getting in the ring with JJ.
He'll do it. He will make an absolute fortune.
Cheers...that's unfortunate. Just want to be competitive for the masses and didn't even come close.
Sad we’re not likely to see Jones fight Francis.
