I get what I want every other ppv. Porier beat Conor so Usman beat Burns. Jan beat izzy so it's not looking good for Stipe

@tieoken Agree brother, doesn’t matter if you think that a fair Knockout, no contest or DQ depending on the rule. A clean knee to the head can knockout most people to the head and it really piss me off how people are calling him *****s for that

Yeah, it’s also how Aljo’s head rotated. It wasn’t just an impact, his whole head whiplashed on an axis. The man definitely has a severe deep concussion. I mean, the outcome can be debated depending on what you believe the rules should be. But no one expect Aljo to continue that fight. It’s like telling Frankie Edgar to just get back up and continue fighting after he woke up from Sandhagen’s knee. If you want to see that **** well... then ****, you’re a twisted bastard.

All the middleweights looked at main event and shook their head like.... We got ya Izzy!!!  You are still weak on the ground and grappling area. Marvin Vettori and Kevin Gastelum had the best success against Izzy... 

wrestlers are coming for Izzy now !!

I’m 100% saying that’s what happened. He seen no way to win that fight at that point and played the downed opponent game. Not to protect himself from a knee but to take an illegal blow. Obviously he didn’t want it to be as clean as it was. If you watch that fight you see him do it multiple times before yann even considered throwing the knee. It was bait and not the first time that’s happened from that camp for them to try and win a fight. Weidman done the same thing. It’s on yann for throwing the knee but if Sterling couldn’t win the belt from a DQ I bet the whole thing wouldn’t have happened

I score the fight 5-0 Jan with 3 clear round in the 2nd, 4th and 5th for Jan and the 1st and 3rd being basically"10-10" round which could go either way. so 4-1  made the most sense with diffrent 1st and 3rd round really make sence, And that how they scored it,

I may be not very objective because I'm Polish, but i saw Jan winning 4 rounds.

But i can definitely say that there wasn't any 10-8 rounds in that fight

I'm kinda blown away by people that are upset about the Blachowicz Vs. Adasanya decision! Jan out struck Adasanya in every round. I mean the second round was kinda close, but there are professional analysts on MMA Decisions that gave Adasanya the fight. Fire them immediately! I'm kidding, but I do feel like there are some people that clearly weren't paying attention, or are living in a parallel dimension. Personally I had it 50-45 for Blachowicz.

Jon vs. Jan is now definitely TOP 5 fights I would like to watch. Next to Brian - Max 2, Nunes at 145 vs. Cejudo at 135 and Conor - Diaz 3

Is it just me?

As a Pole I had it 3-2 for Jan, thought Israels kicks made the deference the rounds he won

Let me remind you Dustin Poirier took an illegal knee from Alvarez in their first fight and had to stop. As @Tioken says and it's a difficult situation but it sounds like that knee was a fight ender. Aljo isn't a quitter and it sucked to wake up and see that result.

Eddie claimed he's old school, well they ran it back and we know how that went. You see how Dustin fights, you've seen the wars he's in, so did he quit? Nah, a fighter knows when he's done. It just happened to be an illegal knee.

I hate how a fighter goes up a weight class for one fight and Tapology completely removes your ability to rank that fighter anymore in their original weight class. that **** doesn't make any sense

Yeah, I mean any of the editors can change him back to a middleweight, but I try not to **** with UFC fighters because I think @Greg or @Stephen is directly in charge of that.

yeah Izzy is in my list at MW, I even put him back, but when I save the ranking he's out. It honestly looks like a bug in their code
