I had two close rounds for Ataman but Gaethje violated him in the third.

Point deduction aside, Leon blocked Kamaru's base with the kicks and had it on the feet, also blocking much of his ground game. I had it a draw but Rocky deserved to retain nonetheless, he was so better than the last time.

Pineda is back and on fire, fun opening.

Close one between Njoukani and Duraev, both underwhelming though.

Another close bout with Lee and Barber, who delivered at least, differently from the match before.

Landwehr started slow but steamrolled through Lingo in the second.

Holly and Sandhagen delivered well tonight, the Sandman especially was too mesmerising for poor Chito.

Pereira's arrogance sunk him. He wasn't wary enough of Adesanya's offence. Did he forget he almost got stopped the last fight at the end of the first round? Had he just continued to target Israel's legs and stayed at distance I believe he would have broken down Israel yet again.

Great PPV. Rosas Jr rightfully got scaled back, great performances by Font and Holland.

Izzy finally won against Pereira (weight cuts also drained him to the point of being so much frail than he was before), with a dramatic and beatiful counter cross right. Bravo!

Will they rematch immediately? Not usually a fan but if there’s a rivalry that deserves it

It seems power punchers usually get too cocky and start to believe that because they punch hard they are immune to receiving hard punches themselves.

Hopefully this is a wake up for Pereira and he takes his opponents more seriously in the future.

Of course this rivalry needs a 3rd fight, but I think it should marinate after each has one or two fights against other opponents.

Wells/Semelsberger rumbling opener, with the former getting rocked every round but winning it on recovery and ground & pound.

Jared Gordon lucky man...

Jones would be the big favourite but if Pavlovich can keep it standing he stands a chance of pulling off an upset.
