I was surprised by the missed weight. Thought it could be a factor.

Erison. It’s 125 I can’t recall the last fight at 125 that wasn’t on prelims unless it’s a title fight. Pretty sure Moreno fought on prelims before his title shot and this card is stacked tbh

Benavidez is still good, but these young lions seem to have a new level that keeps Joe a step behind.

Damn ,it sucks to see joe b’s career to start trending downward. Been watching joe since the WEC days; wish he would’ve won UFC gold. Oh well he’s had a hell of a career.

Who is downvoting everyone today lol. This is impressive tbh joe b usually takes over at this stage of every fight. I won’t say he’s washed I’ll give Askarov his credit. Cejudo couldn’t do this to joe

Benavidez is not washed but absolutely passed his prime as a fighter. Still exciting and a good gate keeper

I was thinking the same. They must have their last parlay on Joe. Which is okay, just the downvoting is a little lame.

If this was 5 rounds does joe b win? Askarov was very inactive in the 3rd. Joe will never be a champion but has plenty to offer imo. I had that 29-28 Askarov but must be wrong lol

Got to assume Joe doesn't want to go two more rounds. Even though he looked better at the end there.
