Aleksei Oleinik vs. Jared Vanderaa
•nthony Hernandez vs. Josh Fremd

A forgettable opener at best, Mark Madsen is smart as heck but also extremely monodimensional.

Dern nicked it with that ultra-dominant (in grappling) second round.

Durinho brought Khamzat to the limit and exposed some weaknesses, with Borz going all-out and winning it. What a slugfest.

Not again Sterling champ... what a joke. TJ, we need you

He was better than last time but what a waste of the bantams...

Terrible match-up for Zombie, as expected. The only one that has sense now at featherweights, it's the third between Volkanovski and Holloway.

Me too

Love seeing Aleksei Oleinik pick up his 60th win.

Thought Yan barely nicked it, but the fight was not fun enough for me to worry about it.

Khamzat and Burns was amazing. Fights like that show the casual fans, as now people are banging on about Khamzat being exposed. If anyone believed he was going to have a career of squash matches without ever getting hit then I suppose he was exposed. To beat Burns in one of the biggest step ups in recent memory is very impressive. I think he'll pick up a belt in the future.

Yes for sure. He fought very recklessly and still ground out a win. Reckon he’ll get a rollicking from his coach after that.
At the higher levels you can’t piss about. This experience will only make him better which is a scary thought.

Couple of fights then title fight id say.

I see some people were actually disappointed in Khamzat winning because he got "exposed" against a top contender like Burns... I indeed saw that as one of the best step-ups in recent times, with a monstrous second wind by Khamzat.

Slick performance by Lazzez.

Sabatin with consistent wrestling control.

Better precision by Mayra against Wu's quantity.

im not watching, but the mma dudes in the chat for the streaming site im on are rraging about the last fight being a robbery lol

Baeza is shook...

Another comfortable, tactical win by Muhammad. Not spectacular but impressive.

Props to Caio Borralho too.

Put him in with Covington next. Two guys with unreal stamina. If he gets past Covington then title shot against Usman.

Keep an eye on Claudio Puelles, submission wizard.

Jessica Andrade is still the baddest tomboy of the straws in UFC.

Ali Abdulaziz started this whole thing.

He’s one cringe fvck.
