Had some friends over, sorry i couldnt be in the chat. Some scattered thoughts
- Davey Grant with an iffy performance despite the crazy, awesome ko
- Still think Melo is the worst UFC fighter, likely to be cut
- Tybura maintains his reputation in my mind with that performance
- Santos-Bogatov leading for the worst fight of the year
- Amirkhani with the awesome decision
- Thought Zaleski won the fight but it was still pretty fun
- So glad Jiri got brought to the UFC, lived up to what i thought and more, fun addition
- Ribas doing Ribas things, hype train continues. Choo Choo
- How the **** did Namajunas' face get so ****** up in one round, holy ****
- Still proud to be an Aldo fan, fun fight and excited for Yan-Sterling
- Alexander winning by the slimmest of margins, thought he won but def understand Holloway fans frustrations
- Usman doing what he needed, didnt expect anything different
Great event but cant beat 249 imo

I am so happy with Ribas. Was rooting for Paige but I love Amanda. Knew she’d pull it off. One of my new favorites.
Rose got the W! I know I said this card was heartbreaking but Rose winning made the night a lot better. Looked very good but props to Jessica as she looked very technical and composed and well compared to her previous fights and I even thought she got the win but very glad Rose won.
Yan becoming champion felt bittersweet man. This is where the heartbreak kicks in. Very late stoppage and I hated seeing Aldo get smashed as I think he is an OG. Still very fun fight but I really wanted Aldo and it was looking good until the mauling that was round five.
Thought Holloway got robbed man. Still fun but am very disappointed. I love Max and he’s a favorite of mine and he looked very sharp. He won that man! 😭
And obviously the main event sucked as I wanted Masvidal bad but Kamaru did what he had to do to win and I applaud him. Usman is a very good fighter and he ain’t losing that title anytime soon.
Overall great card! Thank you fellow Tapology Members for everything! (Even you Fishrat, smh)
Night!

Usman mauled Jorge for five rounds
Alex won a very controversial decision
Rose kicked some ass and won a split decision
Yan finished Aldo in round 5 after a beating
And Ribas predictably submitted Paige early
