Great win for Volkanovski, but that ref was ****.

He should have stopped the fight a little bit earlier.

Brunson thinking he's one step away from the shot wit Mousasi, Jacare and Romero all in front of him is funny.

So far the fight is sorta redeeming itself, but that robbery against Seo Hee Ham is the biggest stain on this fight card. Definitely one of the biggest robberies of 2016 for the UFC

Random thought:

I was thinking about Aussie/New Zealand MMA and how much I'd love to see Mark Hunt vs. The Black Beast. 

But then I remember that Hunt called the UFC a "bunch of ****s" and that his days with the promotion are likely over, and now I'm sad. :(

@dtrain, Hunt has been consistently offered fights since he called them that, if you've got enough of a regional following in a market they're interested in, the UFC don't care ... he's the one refusing to fight until he gets a PED clause in his fight contracts.

Jake Matthews has got all the tools ... except for the speed to use them ... he's so slow ... I had high hopes for him ...

I have a feeling Brunson reminds Whittaker why he started off his UFC stint at welterweight
