Decent card, don't like what happened in the Poirier fight though. Shambles.
Glad my boy Maia won, feared it would be a trap fight like Jacare recently.
JDS done at the absolute top level.
Interested to see where he goes from here. I think it's now all down to motivation and how much passion he has for fighting. If both of those are still there then I'm not convinced he's completely done at the top level. There's still only 3 fighters to ever beat him in the UFC. He's maybe not on the level he was a few years back but on his day I still feel he can beat almost any fighter in the HW division. That's the joy of the Heavyweight division really.
On the fight, he just needed to stay off of the cage. Obviously easier said than done but those leg kicks had Stipe in trouble. If JDS could have weathered the storm of the first round then we could have seen a different result. Hope JDS continues on. Five finishes in a row for Stipe now, dude is on an absolute tear. I actually love the Heavyweight division right now. You've got Stipe, Werdum, Hunt, Ngannou, JDS, Overeem, Lewis and even people like Arlovski and Browne lower down the ladder. Obviously Cain too when he can actually get himself healthy. I like where the divisions at right now.
On Joanna, a lot of fighters get praise for being incredible, this is one of those times when it's completely deserved. She's legit one of the best I've seen. She has almost everything to her game, ridiculous talent. I'm a huge Rose Namajunas fan, probably my favourite female fighter and I think she get's the next shot but I worry for her up against Joanna.
