It's surreal (and kind of sucks) to see Frankie get knocked out that way. Damn. End of an era indeed.

Fair play to Ortega. Him vs. Max Holloway is going to be amazing.

So...with every lower ranked fighter getting the win tonight, does that mean we are going to get an upset?

What I don't want for Edgar going forward id the BJ Penn route. He deserves better than that. Hopefully he takes a couple of fights and hangs em up. He's got nothing left to prove.

To put it in perspective, Ortega was +135.  Yana is +1000.

I dont consider that an upset green. I was very confident that ortega would finish edgar one way or the other but I was hoping it would be by sub.

If foxy beats Justino that would be ******* banaballs.

Dumb move by Frankie, taking that fight. Ortega's composure for that finish was a think of beauty.

The moment the fight went back standing, Yana shouldve IMMEDIATELY shot for a takedown. You had success with grappling, why go away from it with against a dangerous striker like Cyborg?!

sure will be yoss. That's as good a fight as we'll ever get in MMA. Two new breed guys in their prime for five rounds, both well rounded, both young, both finishers. No idea how it plays out, but my completely early and unconsidered pick would be Ortega, I just think he has more ways to win. Think it favors holloway the longer it goes.

That's the creme de la creme. Won't be missing that one. No way, no how.

Ortega will probably be Holloways last fight at 145, regardless if he defends. 155 is his destiny..like Poirier.

@av so she can roll with a world BJJ champ? Not wise.

She just never had any path to victory in this man. It was another guppy feed, not to take anything away from Cyborg who is the women's GOAT.
