Yann is not a decision king. He has won decisions against fighters who don’t get knocked out 4 decisions 4 knockouts and he was on his way to finishing aljo in the first fight

No, Aldo's win over Chito is still recent enough that he's ahead so Marlon should be the world's biggest Merab fan next week. Then he absolutely has a case: he beat O'Malley, too early for the Yan trilogy (need Sterling to beat T.J.), Sandhagen is coming off 2 losses, Song's win over Chito was very questionable so unless he finishes Sandhagen anywhere nearly as impressive as what we just saw (VERY unlikely), Vera would be a very worthy title challenger

Why would Chito be a Merab fan? Merab beating Aldo leapfrogs him over chito

Yan has 10 UFC fights and 4 finishes. Math isn't hard. He has more decision wins overall than finishes. ****.

IF T.J. wins, no way Merab's fighting Aljo, so yes, if Merab wins, then Chito becomes a Sterling fan. It's complicated. But kinda fun. Consolation prizes are very nice as well: Chito vs. Sandhagen, Chito rematch vs. Song or O'Malley, or even Chito vs. Yan.

  • Was worried about Vera for 2,5 rounds, Cruz put pressure from beginning and went all guns blazing, but every shot he took rocked him, i think his time has passed, too much demage taken and chin is showing now. Vera did not used his earlier opportunities and I blame lack of vision and fighting IQ, do not really feel like he deserves title shot at this point. Onama absolutely blowed my betting night. One small triple parlay landwher, murzakhov & vera before time saved me from total loss, overall great event and great fight night!

If you want a decision king look no further than Belal Muhammed. Yan at least goes for it when he fights

the only damage cruz has taken in all those years, were on his knees. i don't think this is a argument. i think he is just old and even still having the speed, he does not have the cardio to keep it for 5 round anymore, so he starts to slow down.

GM3 with another upset, always good to see him win. Everyone wrote him off for this fight yet he was able to do what Pereira could not do, FINISH. Respect to GM3, underrated fighter.

Nate Landwehr was another guy who got overlooked for some odd reason. glad he went to war and got the win. Although I thought they were going to rob him when that 28-28 scorecard came out.. tf???

Azamat came and white washed his opponent just like I expected him too. These Russians are different. If Dana White gives these Russians a fair chance, they are going to dominate in the UFC. As we know tho the UFC is more about entertainment these days than actual talent, so idk.

And finally, Jason Witt might have the ****tiest chin in MMA history. 
Why is he even signed...? Was he signed just to make other fighters look good or...?
Same with that Charlie Ontiveros guy. He's 11-9 and he's signed to the supposed best mma promotion in the world... why???

The UFC is really dropping the ball by not signing some of these real talents out there

Why doesn't the UFC have guys like Johny Eblen, Reinier De Ridder, Logan Storley, Yaroslav Amasov, Vadim Nemkov, Kayla Harrison etc...

WHY HAVE THESE PEOPLE NOT BEEN SIGNED???
