Fun night. We found out that Daukaus was a lock, Hooker was a lock, Blaydes did not get a fist pump from Rozenstruik and Rozenstruik lost, as predicted... 

and and and we found out that in Nick Diaz is like Muhammad Ali.... He's like Muhammad Ali vs Larry Holmes in 1980.

Oh yea and we found out that Lauren Murphy did have 0% chance and Andrade is no where near done as a member said. 

Glory be to the GOD

Great performance by Volkanowski. The fight to make was him against Holloway now but I guess Holloway didn’t want to wait longer for a fight. I really wish he would have gotten the next shot. Since he isn’t and Volkanowski wants to stay active I wouldn’t mind giving Chikadze the title fight. And that’s if it doesn’t make since for Volkanowski to move up to LW for a fight.

I think first guy to secure a win over a top 5 between Zhabit, Chikadze and Allen is up for the next title shoot. Door is wide open right now.

The fight to make I believe is Allen vs Chikadze, I think it’s time the prospects battle it out. Winner gets that #1 contender fight.

Ahhh idk if Giga can be called a prospect anymore at 34 years old and beating up 10 year UFC vets via 1 sided ass whooping. He's skipping over Allen IMO. Giga is a main event guy now, Allen is a last fight of the prelims kinda guy right now

I really wanna just give one last ounce of love Merab Money. Of course I had him ranked above Moraes before the fight, but he proved what I had been saying all week: MERAB WILL NOT EVER TRULY GET FINISHED (Simon did not finish him). Thank you Merab for cashing the God and proving that you have another level that you can reach when you have to! I need him to learn how to wrestle to submissions and he would be Baby Khabib of 135Lbs. GEORGIA B***H!


special thanks to The Great Chris, Razor Blaydes, and Volk the professional as well for cashing the PlusMoneyGod parlay

That was the greatest event I've seen live, even better than UFC 241. The energy in the arena when Dvalishvili got knocked down, and then the roar of cheers and boos when he took Moraes down was unreal.

Super spicy hot take, but I think Valentina Shevchenko's performances are consistently overrated. 

People are getting a hard-on for that wild combo **** hit Murphy with a few seconds before the ending. Despite Murphy showing zero, I repeat, ZERO defense. Not to mention the fact Vitor Belfort's sloppy-ass was doing that exact same **** 20 years ago. Why is it impressive that Shevchenko did this to Lauren Murphy - a woman whose current (at the time) win streak consisted of two split decision wins in fights most people thought she clearly lost. Not to mention the fact, Shevchenko, always a favorite, was a ******* massive favorite here. A -1600 favorite. She needed the better part of 4 rounds to finish someone she should've finished in 2. 

People putting her in the same discussion as Amanda Nunes are insane. Nunes has beat her twice. 

"da 2nd fite was so close tho valentine shoulda won" 

No. Valentina lost. Valentina should've lost. And Valentina isn't on the level of Amanda Nunes. I'm sorry, but she isn't.

Technically speaking, she is clearly fantastic compared to who she's fighting. But who is she fighting? Not many people worth a ****. I'll give her credit for her Andrade win and Joanna win. But those are her only two fights as of late over worthwhile compeition where she deserves much praise. Why are people acting like a R4 finish over Lauren Murphy makes her someone in contention for Top 5 P4P contention. Nah.

https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/32299727/ufc-star-jon-jones-was-emotional-rollercoaster-domestic-violence-related-arrest

Just to confirm, Jones did not “slap a woman or worse”, even the woman in question described Jones as being “a little” physical with her, “aggressive but not violent”. He was just being a drunk and headbutted a police car. This case will be thrown out or just a slap on the wrist because of Jones’s priors
