I thought Lutz fought very well overall, throughout the bout with Chase Gibson, although he made a schoolboy error giving up his back in the last minute of the third and final round, that could of been costly... He deserved the 30 - 27 Result and although Dana wants and likes finishes in these contests, personally, I think Lutz would be a decent addition to the current UFC Roster and to be fair Chase Gibson had a granite chin and the Win is always the most important factor, so long as you look entertaining, dominant and highly skilled... ๐Ÿค”๐ŸฅŠ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Those were 100% illegal elbows. But I made my money so Iโ€™m not complaining.

Bundrage looked great to start and level changed really well to get the takedown and take the back of William Knight...However, when Bundrage couldn't work no further, due to Knight's excellent defense and Knight found the way to get the fight stood up, the power, athletic ability and striking he produced with them nasty elbows (all legal) and explosive ground and pound was a great, great performance... All against a very decent unbeaten talent, who went into the fight has the slight favourite... What a great addition Knight will be in the 205lbs division....

Not sure about that one. Maybe 10-9 Lawrence, but heโ€™s landing no damage and Johnson finished on top?

Either Ronnie Lawrence is exceptional at takedowns, or Johnson has quite a poor takedown defense....I make that 9 Takedowns in 3 Rounds....Decent ๐Ÿค”๐ŸฅŠ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘

Jose Johnson definitely needs to improve his BJJ, cos has he steps up levels, he his going to spend plenty of time on his back...by the looks of it!! Lawrence looks decent and his coaches are shouting the right instructions too ๐Ÿค”๐ŸฅŠ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

Awful performance by Johnson, Lawrence made him suffer with superior grappling and conditioning. Thought he wouldn't get a contract but Dana looked impressed

At least 30-26 Lawrence.

Not contract worthy IMO. Johnson's TDD and guard play is abysmal, and it hasn't hard to do what Lawrence did to someone like that.
