Solid win from Lentz.  Brooks has looked bang average in the UFC.  Which is a shame because it doesn't reflect too well on Chandler that he lost to him.

WIll Brooks is fighting really well, he just can't win any fight for some reason.

Damn, Brooks was looking good until he got caught in that choke. Hopefully they keep him around for another, but that might be wishful thinking.

With all due respect, your housemate is an idiot.  Mokhtarian went stiff as a board.

Volkanovski's style is VERY similar to Velasquez's

I am surprised Volkanovski is able to succeed at this weight despite his diminutive size.  Guy is more built to be a Bantamweight and he has been able to succeed. Then again, he hasn't fought some of the bigger names in the featherweight division.

How  much is he giving up here? I know it's a catchweight but I didn't hear the actual weight difference.
