Great night. Wild night.
1 for 3 in EARLY PRELIMS
Great KO from Martin
Great finish from Lenz
Fair play to Kunitskaya. Dominated2 for 4 in PRELIMS
Big upset win for Holtzman
Ladd fought like a lad. Wow.
Turner has some silky skills, but Luque is nails
Deserved win for Formiga. Pettis disappointing.2 for 5 in MAIN CARD
Watterson v Herrig. AwfulVolkov a very skillful tactician and if he'd pressed he would have finished Lewis inside two rounds. Paid the price for dithering.
Derrick Lewis Leg End (see above)
'My balls is hot'
Hats off to Reyes. Masterclass.
Great comeback from Ferguson. Epic fight. Pettis poor bastard.
Whoever Ferguson fghts next it will be a cracker.
Wrote this about the title fight
Conor McGregor
Too quick, too powerful, too smartGot the manner, but not the man.
Fair play to Khabib. His striking improved more than McG's grappling.
Too good, too accurate.Bonkers finish.
Who knows what will happen next?
If there is a rematch it could go the way of the Diaz fights with McG working his opponent out.
But at this stage Ferguson deserves next go.

If you're Stipe you would have to be thinking about looking at your options. Deserved a rematch but gets passed over by Lewis because the latter is comedy value with a ko punch.
Lots of top guys are getting treated like mid carders due to not being wwe characters.

Yep.
Hopefully the circus will leave town in 2019 and we can get back to a consistency of barnstorming fights.
In fairness to Lewis, he deserves a shot. Never ducked a fight.

Great card top to bottom.
Had Brunson. Thought his strength would be too much.
Happily proved wrong.
Frevola fight was magic.

Another good card over the weekend
As expected Yair Rodriguez vs the Korean Zombie had some great striking. Then there was a crazy finish. This KO happened at 24.59 of a 25 minute fight. Yes, KZ was lunging forward recklessly but that's an incredible elbow
It was a close fight but I had KZ edging it if it lasted one second longer

And Cerrone took away all of Perry's menace

Dos Anjos owned by Usman.
And JDS won one for the old fellas watching.
Reminded me of Saturday nights growing up when the latest young Turk would come up to Aberdare to take on one of the Silverbacks.
And go home smarting.

Adelaide was a bit of a shocker for the local fighters. 4 losses in a row to finish the night. I hope we don't see Hunt fight again.. he looked frustrated his 44year old body couldn't do what it used to
Kai Kara-France looked good on debut, he's exactly what the 125 division needs. City Kickboxing has had an incredible year

UFC 231
watch.
That is all.

Well, Dan Hookers winning streak is over. His leg got beaten up in the first round, mobility was compromised and then he took a lot of damage
Some of the body shots were brutal
Strangely Hooker seems to have a bigger profile among mma fans after this loss. A great chin and his toughness borders on stupidity

Impressive resilience though. Hence the respect.
Deserved win for Iaquinta.

No one touching this one?
Go Gustafsson.. but I would have been saying that anyway
It's bullshit how they treated fans who were turning up in Vegas.. and yes, the UFC treat Jones differently than anyone else. They would have lost a few fans moving the fight like this.
Jones should be paying the cost of fighters going from Nevada taxes to California taxes
Would USADA lie for a UFC event? I find that hard to believe. But their credibility has taken a huge hit. It seems like they are making it up as they go
It will still be a fun event. Hoping for a Nunes upset too

Would love to see Jones sparked out and finally put to bed.
