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.

Not a fan of UFC at all, but developed a degree of begrudging respect after listening to the 30 for 30 podcast on UFC 1.
Seems it morphed into a different beast than the original vision, but I kind of get the motivation now.
(Still won't / can't bear to watch though. )
