For his first UFC PPV, Jimmy Smith did a pretty solid job working with Anik. Sort of wish he did the post fight interviews but whatever.

His reaction to Romero hammerfisting Rockhold's lead leg was pretty good.

Yeah Jimmy Smith is really really good and John Anik is getting worse. I hope we see DC/Smith sometime soon.

Blaydes seems like an okay prospect, he managed to not get totally destroyed by Ngannou and Hunt, he seems to actually be in much better shape than in his previous fights, he's got good reach, and he fought smartly.

if he can continue to threaten takedowns against everyone, that's going to help his mediocre striking. hunt couldn't really commit to anything with how easy blaydes was taking him down, the fight seemed to change with that

I think Stipe would beat him with superior striking and enough wrestling to neutralize Blaydes' strengths

DC/Smith would own but you'd have to deal with some horrible play-by-play guy and honestly nobody does that well in the UFC at the moment other than maybe that British guy they pair with Dan Hardy.

Weidman wants the title shot after last nights fight.
Romero might have missed weight but he did almost kill Weidman, pretty hard to make a case for him to get a shot, adding in that the dude Romero just knocked out cold also pulverised Weidman.

Badass man, I can't wait till we got the champ who got the belt by being knocked out and crying, the champ who won the belt by his opponent missing weight, the guy who won the belt via the champion held out for a better payday, and cyborg.

Hey now, since he lost the belt he got brutally knocked out by Third Round Romero, then brutally knocked out by His Own Idiocy, then submitted a fat welterweight. Totally worthy of a title shot!

frame-by-frame analysis showed his hand was actually down in the mousasi fight.

he probably was going on to lose anyway but i still really like him as a fighter and i can dream.
