Wow!I'm impressed,Joby isn't the best but that's still a very impressive win.I knew that kid was good but watching him get smoked in his first UFC fight made me underestimate him.I gotta get back to refreshing on footage more.

Brian Camozzi has the Stefan Struve syndrome of not being able to properly utilize your height and reach.

Nice win by Neal. Looks like an exciting fighter.

Wow, you could fit a nickle in that gash.

Wonder if the doc might have stopped that one after the round was over.

@ImperatorFishrat Not many would have made a Neal-Sub pick,I was like oh **** the old schoolyard choke lol.Newton/Militech was maybe the first time I saw that in mma (of course slightly different postition).

Love your work cowboy, but I can't help but feel that taking fights against killers at the drop of a hat for horse **** skrilla  might be something you regret later in life.

Love that choke but it was well played by Neil. Even if Camozzi defends he’s against the cage. Neil kept himself in position to throw hooks in or throw more power strikes given the space options Camozzi gives him. He just bulled him proper. 

Loving Jimmy Smith for the UFC, btw. He looks happy as hell to be here too. He knows and loves the sport. You can tell. Remember his show where he fought around the globe?

I'm a huge Jimmy Smith fan,sometimes he gets a little funky with his unofficial judging but I love that he says his opinion (or at least in Bellator idt UFC likes that as it leads to controversy) but yeah you can't go wrong with Jimmy Smith,he's for sure one of my favorites.

Yeah i 'm really liking Jimmy Smith too. Will be a great replacement for Joe when he finally hangs up the headphones. Probably the reason why he lobbied for Smith to get into the UFC.

I bet he's also glad he does not have to call a Dada 5000 or Ken Shamrock fight anymore.

@ Kuma, Haha.  I’ve certainly questioned his judging through the years too...

That said, any fellow armchairfantasyfighter who knows me, knows I’ve argued mma judging with anoyone I’ve ever respected enough to argue with about it.

Poland has so many good fighters these days. I was really bummed when Michal Materla decided to decline the UFC and re-sign with KSW. That dude is a kill or be killed banger. His fight with Santos would have been absolutely violent.

If Gordon fights smart it's his fight to lose.Ferreira is so sick at getting the back but he's another one of those BJJ guys that fell in love with striking and don't always look to take it to the ground.His wrestling kinda sucks anyone but I kinda feel like he dedicated too much time to striking and not enough to wrestling but dude hasn't fought in over 2 years so idk what to expect.I don't usually look at statistics but I was poking around yesterday and Ferreira has an 11% td's complete and like idk 60% tdd.

I read a breakdown where the guy said Gordon will get td's and look to beat up Ferreira...like huh?I don't think that's a great idea lol but Gordon isn't a slouch,I just think his crazy pressure and sloppy but effective striking should be the difference.I could see him getting in bad positions if he isn't smart.
