Can’t believe that the UFC would let this WWE crap. It does nothing for the sport

Other than the BS scripted stuff between DC and Brock, and the ****show that was Ngannou/Lewis, the card was awesome! 
DC winning was definitely my favorite part of the event, but Showtime really impressed me also. Felder/Perry was fun, and watching Saki get KTFO was really upsetting, but crazy at the same time. Daniel Hooker also really impressed again, I’m really looking forward to seeing him fight again. Maybe they’ll make the Felder figjt now.
The only two predictions that I was confident in were Klose and Ngannou. Klose delivered, but Francis did anything but deliver. That was a total ****show. 
Other than that, the card was awesome! I’m not really looking forward to the DC/Lesnar Fight, but hey, it’s an easy win for DC, and he deserves the payday.

I kinda hope Jones gets his **** together and smashes DC for the HW belt but that may be wishful thinking.

I have nothing but respect for dc. He went hunting for the best fighter in jon jones despite being hurt by the weight cut. He is a FAST hw. And other than gus i dont think there is a lhw that is on his level. Let yoel fight gus for the lhw title. Why not? Gus has length and grappling and i think yoel could be faster at lhw.
