Thought Jones looked slow (as do all heavyweights) but effective. Gane just showed poor fight IQ turning away from a wrestler that close to him, then awful TDD, then no heart in a choke that was never ever going to put him out.

Jones is the favourite, but this is his first fight at heavy and he hasn’t fought for 3 years. It seems his last 3 fights were not that impressive….

Gane looks massive, I don’t think he has that much power though but at one stage he was meant to be the next greta heavyweight….
:TU:
I’m just looking for an expert breakdown as I’m a casual essentially.
The questions surrounding this fight are if Gane can keep it standing because Jones' ground game is way better than his. Gane's only chance is to keep the fight standing. Other questions are how much will the weight gain will affect Jones' speed and how rusty will he be because of the long layoff. I think Jones will still win because he still has the reach advantage and knows how to use it to his advantage.
Thanks. Overall a very disappointing fight. Not many good fighters at heavyweight either

Heavyweight is a barren landscape compared to all the other divisions in the UFC.

Right. There’s not much there. Pavlovich? Maybe. Stipe - past it. It’s a barren landscape

Fun opening with Petrino and Turkalj. Bautista displayed flashy sub skills.

Good job by Krylov. Said Nurmagomedov squandered it.

Marvelous performance by Merab. If Aljo retains against Cejudo and leaves the category, he can have it against O'Malley.

I liked his quip's towards Yan in the post fight. "Who's the zero now?" "Glory to Ukraine, Glory to Georgia."

This weekend's 2 main event fights should be real good. I hope Edwards knocks out that boring Octopus once again.

I'm pretty sure this UFC card is where it's at today. Early start time today from London UK. ;-)

Really close bout, but Dolidzd didn't do nothing beside that loopy overhand right, while Vettori worked his arse off. Also, talking about where the British fans can stick their boos...

O'Neill looked rusty and it spelled disaster for her tonight against a vigile Maia.

Gunnar has still got his stellar grappling.
