<p>Great UFC debut for Vettori<br>
Big win for Larkin<br>
Garbrandt looked very impressive<br>
Means is one mean motherfucker<br>
Perry with a great David v Goliath win<br>
Cowboy's got some of the best feet in the business<br>
Johnson v Teixeira, 1 v 2, no ducking and avoiding, the best to fight for the belt. BOOM! That's what makes MMA so good<br><br>
Diaz v McGregor<br>
Round 1 Smart v Heart. McGregor's game plan executed to perfection. Nullified Nate.<br>
Round 2 Heart v Smart. Natural size getting Diaz back in the fight<br>
Round 3 Heart v Smart. Big shots, big chin from McGregor<br>
Round 4 Smart v Heart. Diaz lost his range when the blood blurred his vision. McGregor more precise<br>
Round 5 Smart v Heart. Smartest round of the fight from McGregor despite Diaz's late takedown<br>
What a fight<br>
That's the way to avenge a defeat</p> -
<p>Absolutely sensational UFC. Johnson knockout was epic, but man, what a fight Diaz vs McGregor.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sensational from the word go, swining between the two. Nate will regret the slow start, as that looked like a 10-8 round, and I think took him of the energy and stamina he needed to get McGregor down. But it was just complete brutatilty the rest of it. I actually stood up and applauded at home at the end of it.</p>

<p>If they do a third at 155 ,then Diaz has no chance. He'll have to lose some power, and CMG will just be far far too quick for him there.</p> -
CM Punk makes his belated debut in the UFC. All Im going to say is I hope hes prepared and anyone who puts 2 years of work in deserves a chance to prove themselves.
Although Tyrone Woodley and Anthony Pettis, who are backing him, were asked what his strengths were, meaning in ring, and the reply was he refuses to give up....
-
Ahahaha Overeem and Browne. Both had some carny crap after they lost, with Browne's coach Edmund (a fuckwit and probably the worst coach in MMA) trying to pick a fight with Werdum and Overeem claiming Stipe tapped that never happened. Embarrassing from both of them.
Punk's fight went about as expected. Completely one-sided. Dude should've just transitioned straight to a commentator, as I think he'd be really good at it. Gall called out Sage Northcutt, who I think he'll crush.

..and the refereeing screwup that allowed Browne to call a timeout because he hurt his finger. It would have been hilarious if the Werdum punch knocked him out at that moment.
The Werdum kick to open that fight was awesome. Shame the 2nd and 3rd rounds were so lacklustre

But give up is exactly what he did!
Fight didnt last long at all!

Only caught the last 2 fights, and it would be fair to say they were rather odd. Werdum/Brown had a cracking opening round, and then just got boring. I think for about a minute there nobody even threw anything. Werdum was the clear winner though, as he landed about 20 strikes for every one of Brown's (no exaggeration).
Miocic vs Overeem was awesome I thought. I've seen Overeem fight three times now and he looks like such a wimp. Always running away, it's such an odd tactic, but then BOOM he just lands a strike which puts the other guy on his arse. The tap that wasn't, was a pretty silly thing to say, but as Rogan said afterwards, he shouldn't be interviewing people who had just been knocked unconcious. The power of Miocic though, was there to say. It was just complete and utter bruatlity when he had Overeem on the ground, and in my view, the ref should have stopped it earlier. Miocic is one tough tough bastard, and absolutely worthy of his title.

No robbery here, pretty clear win for Bisping
-
@Voltron Whilst Bisping had more 'significant strikes' and thus edged Hendo on the cards, the state of Bisping's face post-fight would suggest that Hendo's strikes were way more 'significant'.
Not to mention the two knockdowns and one takedown. -
No argument from me, but that's not how fights are judged
-
Yup, I had Hendo winning 48-46, taking the first round with a 10-8 and then the second and fifth rounds with 10-9's. While Bisping may have been winning rounds two and five, it's not like he was dominant, so the knockdown and takedown were enough to turn things around as far as I'm concerned.
They're introducing some rules changes next year that will hopefully curb some of this crap but it doesn't go far enough IMO. The 10 point must system is a crappy relic from boxing, they'd solve a lot of problems judging fights as a whole, like they did in Pride, instead of round-by-round.
