Hmmm maybe picking Smotherman was a bad call

Figueiredo and Perez both missed weight

[Duluth]

[Rembrandt]

Classic Bisping.
Weight cutting is a bit of a blight though. Perez looked like he was on the verge of passing out and Figgy was practically carried to and from the scale. Surely there must be a better way.

[Rembrandt]

Overall a terrific event, helped massively by an incredible main event

8 - 3 -2 in my picks

I didn't see the fight, but it looks like Paddy Pimblett got beaten up pretty badly there. The end of nine fight winning streak for him.

[Rembrandt]

@sparky He wore it worst for sure. The bloke never gave up though despite looking like he was gone for all money midway through round 1. Wobbled Gaethje a few times too. I'm more of a fan now, reckon he'll learn from this and come back soon as a real contender.

Great main fight

If Justin wins the title they could run this one back for sure

[Duluth]

@MiketheSnow maybe Pimblett will listen to his corner next time? Entertaining fight though

What’s next for Pimblett? The winner of Hooker v BSD this weekend?

Yeah

But he tried for the single leg and got stuffed each time

Yeah but he needed to try it earlier in the fight. Only one attempt in the first three rounds. He went for it later in the fight when he was compromised with all the damage

His corner was begging for it. Gaethje was off balance plenty of times in rounds 1 and 3 in particular

[Rembrandt]

I think the bloke needed to be humbled, didnt think he needed to play to his strengths. I wonder where Arman fits into matchup calculations. Paddy/Arman maybe?
