what a first round. Frevola beating the crap out of Vannata so far.
what a fight! second round all Vannata. Almost took Frevola out.
3rd round winner takes it all.
Well, no winner after all. Majority draw. I have to say i agree. FOTN so far.
Vannata always putting good shows. He has won Bonus money on 4 of his previous 5 UFC fights.

Ben Saunders as expected got KO'd quite fast.
Another good fight. Sheymon Moraes got the nod from the judges vs Julio Arce.
Sijara Eubanks vs Roxanne Modafferi rematch next.

fecking hell, Jacare KO'd Weidman in the third. WOW
Weidman has suffered some brutal KO's!
Great fight.
Such a tough one for Weidman, he looked sharp but lost all his power after round one it seemed.
Jacare on the other hand just kept his pace and power throughout, an absolute battering ram.

I really like him as a fighter so I hope he wins in New York some day.4 KO's in his last 5 fights
Can't catch a break poor Chris. I wonder what his future holds.
Imagine what guys like Borrachina or Adesanya would do to him.

Maybe at light heavyweight? I hope he gives it a try. If unsuccessful, maybe time to cash out. He has nothing left for the middleweights.
black beast is massive
Well, that was easy.
DC acting like he accomplished something.
Exactly how Cormier called it.
Lewis is an entertaining guy but he shouldn't be fighting for the title. Stipe is the one that deserved his rematch.

This was a joke ...a training session for DC.
Stipe was just as easy.
DC is miles ahead of everyone in that division.
Edit: Just saw Brock do his WWE entrance, DC will wreck him.
Sea level Cain vs DC would have been a great fight.
After the Brock fight, i guess DC sails into the horizon. The only other fight for him would be a 3rd fight with Jones (at Heavyweight?), but who knows.
When you look at Weidman's record on paper it's a bit worrying. 1-4 in his last 5. That doesn't really tell the full story though. He's become a bit underrated IMO. It's not as if he's stinking up the joint or getting absolutely outclassed in these fights. All losses to fighters that are arguably in the top 5 in the world too or around there. The Rockhold fight was actually close and competitive until he got caught and then beaten down. Romero was close too, a round a piece going into the third before he got caught with the crazy knee. The Mousasi fight he was arguably winning until the knees that stopped him. And very similar last night, I probably had him winning that fight until he got caught. And that's the story with Weidman in all of those losses, he just has a habit of eventually getting caught and brutally finished...arguably up on the scorecards in almost all of those fights bar possibly Rockhold. Very talented fighter that just doesn't have boring fights anymore. I thought he looked crisp and sharp last night. Sadly just has a habit of allowing himself to get caught.
Great performance from DC again, he just makes it look so easy at times. Man handling Lewis like that was ridiculous. I imagine it's probably Brock next but let's be real, he wants to beat Jones 100% and if Jones beats Gus, there's no doubt the UFC will be desperate to put on a fight with those two. It sells on it's own because of the history but you then potentially have the LHW/HW champion in DC and the 'LHW' champion in Jones, it'd be huge. I think DC has the balls to risk it all as his final fight. It either ends his career in heartbreak losing to Jones again or he finally overcomes his biggest rival, beats Jones and retires with both titles and rides off into the sunset. The story is perfect for that fight, if Jones doesn't do anything stupid I don't see how it doesn't happen (of course granted Jones can beat Gus and DC beats Lesnar if that happens, Jones/Gus should hopefully be awesome).

Don’t think it would be second time around. For me there was an element of neglecting the wrestler’s striking ability, much like Khabib-Conor
Stipe was a dominant champion and should have got a shot straight away again
There a bit quick to disregard former champions if they’re not marketable, let DJ go now he has no belt, much more money in letting McGregor do what he wanted after Aldo, binned off Stipe, Woodley won’t get a rematch if he loses the belt to someone.
Floyd is about to launch his MMA career.

Of its kickboxing, Tenshin will kick the living poop out of Floyd. The kid is a beast!
How fast is Floyd blowing through his cash?
Finally the old man is back.
Yes! Love watching Cruz!
Brilliant! I love Lineker too, but if Cruz is anywhere near his best this looks like a good style match up for him, where he can just use his speed and movement to pick off a relatively flat-footed opponent. If he's not close to his best his chin might get seriously tested though.
Guess this all but confirms TJ vs. Cejudo.
Glad to see Cruz back, hopefully he'll be at his best.
The Just Bleed God gives with one hand and takes away with the other
. Romero vs Paulo Costa is scrapped again due to Costa getting injured.https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/11/7/18073468/paulo-costa-injured-january-fight-yoel-romero-ufc
My thoughts too. Cruz should be able to dance around Lineker, making him punch the air. If he can't though, gonna be interesting. I wouldn't mind if Lineker knocks Cruz out.
fecking shame about Borrachinha getting injured. I hope Romero gets a good replacement. (He wants Anderson Silva)

Only have to watch how Dillashaw utterly dominated Lineker to get an idea how this should turn out.
