    Fun fight in the weekend between Costa and Vettori. Amazed that Costa had enough gas in the tank to win the final round

    Happy that Costa lost after the weight shenanigans. Adesanya mentally broke this guy

        @duluth Im a big fan.

        He went through a bit of a cringe stage, i think maybe the ufc told him to be a heel, or something.

        He looks liek hes in a good place right now. Hard fight for him, hope he gets it done

          Such a gulf between Adesanya and the rest.

          Great win, performance and sportsmanship from Caceres.

          Mason Jones got his first win. One to watch hopefully.

            Big gap.
            Rest

            In saying that i hope rob can get up vs adesanya, call me a hater but i just like rob a lot more out side the ring

              Makhachev will get his title shot soon. That was impressive

              Hopefully Hooker gets another fight this year

                    Dan Hooker did a test weight cut and he can still make 145. He has an enormous frame for that division

                    It was done at the UFC performance institute so I guess the UFC has plans for him at that weight. Holloway? Ortega?

                      It looks like fun card this afternoon. Well matched, entertaining fighters.. good for a non ppv event

                      Kiwi Brad Riddell is the co-main event and should be fighting around 6:15pm. It's another tough fight for him. Fiziev is a good striker, they are ranked about he same and they used to train together

                      Riddell has 4 UFC fights and they've all been difficult. He's lost the first round every time but gone on to win everyone. A likely candidate for fight of the night

                      I think Font might catch Aldo in the main event. Font has the power and I'm still suspicious off the weight cut Aldo is putting himself through

                      I really rate Jimmy Crute. Hopefully he comes back from the leg injury well

                        Shit. Caught early and never recovered. Impressive from Hill

                        Amazing comeback from Guida in the previous fight

                        Riddell up next…

                          Well Fiziev will be into the top ten after that

                          First round was really close. Fiziev’s speed advantage was more apparent in the second. Then that kick in the 3rd

                          A few people were predicting Riddell was going to have a wrestle heavy attack. We didn’t see any take down attempts until the 3rd. He had some success with that before the the kick

                          Oh well

                            Here's the kick that ended it

                            Then in the main event, Aldo gets the decision v Font. The way he looks at weigh in doesn't seem to have an impact on his performance. On fight night he looks enormous

                            I had a terrible run on predicting results all day. The only thing I got right was that it was a fun card. Glad I didn't bet

                              Great finishes for Morales and Kape.

                              Really enjoy watching Curtis.

                                My predictions guesses:

                                Oliveira v Poirier
                                Nunes v Pena
                                Neal v Ponzinibbio
                                KKF v Garbrandt
                                Paiva v O'Malley
                                Emmett v Ige
                                Munhoz v Cruz
                                Sakai v Tuivasa


                                Gone for an upset in the main event. Oliveira by submission in the later rounds

                                I like KKF's chances in this one. Cody will see the red mist after getting hit, stay in the pocket and brawl, then KKF will knock him out.
                                Hardly an original pick but I think Garbrandt is stupid enough to repeat his previous mistakes. Also, the extra cut won't help his chin

                                  He did it with style. That should earn a title shot
