Caio Borrelho: every time they said the guy's name I thought "banana fana fo faio"

Michel Pereira: obviously eats cocaine and anti-gravity pills for breakfast while watching WWE

Shogun Rua: isn't it amazing to watch tape of UFC from 20 years ago and realize how many standard finishing moves then are now an instant DQ and possibly an attempted murder charge?

Anthony Smith: even Bruce was so surprised by this victory that he called out the wrong name hahah

Jose Aldo: class act as usual

Jonathan Martinez: poor kid saw his whole career flash before his eyes and just couldn't handle it. Never meet your idols, I guess

Alexandre Pantoja: went "oh you're not gonna like me when I'm angry" at the end of round 2 and then proceeded to use his own blood for lubricant on the next 6 takedowns - his crazy flailing strikes probably make him beatable but he's fun to watch

Steve Erceg: just needs to do some affirmations in the mirror and lose this "math undergrad who gets bullied on the subway" demeanor

(Edit: spacing)

Sean Strickland wins another one with all the grace, speed and imagination of a Rockem Sockem Robots toy.

 

The King of Lafayette lasts five times longer against Islam than anyone expected. Or anyone probably deserves to.

 

Kevin Holland demonstrates his gatekeeping powers by cheerfully breaking a guy's arm.

 

I didn't watch the others tho, anything good happen?

Svedka [1618089]

Crazy D'arce choke squeeze by Makhachev, the scramble happened so quick. 

 

Dustin takedown defence has improved significantly and tbf he did pretty well than expected, sucks that this is probably his last fight. 

Kajal [2542083]

Dan Ige is a goddamn hero and he deserves all the 50Ks

Alex Pereira is horrifying and should probably be illegal

Jiri Prochazka has absolutely zero concept of defense but I still want him on every card until he accidentally drives his motorcycle into a volcano

Kajal [2542083]

Erceg: still looks like he would rather be home playing online chess and ironing his postal uniform

Hooker: now looks like he just finished headlining a crust-punk show and might not bother picking the beer-bottle glass out of his face

Howie Booth: HAS to have mixed up his scorecard columns and that is LITERALLY THE ONLY EXPLANATION I can think of, like even if Tuivasa were his own son he should still have given Bigi a round for credibility's sake like jfc what were you even watching

Izzy: goddammit

Kajal [2542083]

Oh yeah I nearly forgot that one - he was in trouble the whole fight but that knockout crumpled him like an accordion
