Did not envision Menifield winning a decision at all... props to him for not gassing like prior fights and props to Herman for having an iron head.

Any prospect worth his salt finishes Herman tbh. It’s a lot easier to not get tired in a fight when you fight at a comfortable pace. Herman didn’t make him work at all tbh. Props to him for sticking in there though

I really didn't see this fight going to the distance but I'm not disappointed with it, showed great things from both fighters, Menifield's ability to stay calm and improved cardio and Herman's heart and granite chin

when was the last time we got this far into a UFC card without an eye poke and/or significant nut shot


At this rate, Lewis knocks Gane out with a flying knee

You have to be a damn wizard to predict the outcomes of these fights recently.  Gatto winning by TKO, Menifield by decision... what's next... Derrick Lewis by submission?  :)

Out of all the fights thus far, I didn't think that Menifield/Herman would end up going the distance!
