    Well, that sucks. Thought Condit would wear out Oliveira and get the late finish but Oliveira with the strong choke. Good on him.

    Damn, great win for Oliveira but feeling bad for Condit. Dude is a legend, hope he hangs 'em up and finds success with his coffee business.

    I think Condit should retire now, no point hanging around taking more damage, guys been in some crazy battles, Lawler, Hendricks, Ellenberger, MacDonald and even that fight there. 
    As much as I'm pissed that Condit lost gotta admit that Brazilian Cowboy is a wild mutha****a who is always exciting to watch. 
    Speaking of brain damage,,, HERE WE GO!!!!

    As good of a fight you can make in any division this.

    Both Gaethje and Poirier have that air of vulnerability about them. 

    Unless Poirier starches him early i think Gaethje will drown him and finish him. Poirier does not react well to getting hurt at all.

    Gaethje's career is going to be fun to watch, but it is going to be very short lived.

    I'm pretty sure Gaethje has the best Rocky Balboa impression in the sport.
