Smolka vs Nicolau has the potential to be a very entertaining match. Been going back and forth there because Louis is always game.

It's the fifth and final round. It's been a long and grueling battle. Both fighters have given their all. A fight you would see in a Rocky movie. It will come down to who wants it the most, as the cliche goes.
Then suddenly...
"BAH GAWD...
IT'S GERMAINE DE RANDAMIE'S MUSIC!"
yells Jon Anik.
The People's Champion, GDR, runs to the Octagon holding a briefcase, cashing in her Money in the Bank.
The main event will now be a triple threat match.
The last four minutes is complete and utter chaos. Just non-stop sequences of punches, kicks, elbows, knees coming from every angle.
Holly Holm tries a left head kick on Cyborg but whiffs.
A second later the horn sounds, signaling the end of the fight.
Then GDR sees an opening and knocks out Holly Holm with a killer 1-2 combo.
Germaine de Randamie is THE NUUEEWW UFC WOMEN’S FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!

This should be fun!!!
Many fights are difficult to predict they are very tight...
Good luck to all punters.

Some fun fights on this card. Great to see Condit and Khabib back. Looking forward to Marvin Vettori, that kid could be a real prospect down the line at 185.
