Watched the co main and main event last night. Tough way to go out for Smith, but Mingyang looked good and those elbows were nasty. Garry looked pretty good too against a tough opponent in Prates. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here.

Garry hung tough for four rounds but looked like he ran out of gas in the 5th.

Sad to see Smith end it that way but he had a tremendous career

If Prates had another minute it might have been a different story, but Garry fought a smart fight.

I wanted better for Smith, but I like watching him fight over the years. He's smart and articulate, so he should have a good career in the both, or as an analyst.

Those were the two fights I also caught. Brutal for Smith, I thought the ref let it go a lot longer than it needed to be, even with it being his retirement fight. Mingyang looked lethal, and you gotta love the smack talk he did during the interview. Bravo.

Ian also looked good for the first four rounds, but I thought he was either going to get submitted or a ref stoppage. Too bad Prates had nothing left in his tank those final 30 seconds to finish him.

I really don't like all the buddy smiles, jokes, and hugging bromance between every round beginning and end. Maybe the opening bell I get it, but this is happening way too much these days.

Bo Nikal hype train derailed, he just got KOd by a knee to the body by Reinier de Ridder in the 2nd round.

Not a Nikal fan at all and glad to see him exposed again. Great wrestler, bad MMA fighter. Maybe someday he'll earn his spot, but he's not anywhere near ready to fight ranked opponents.

Sandhagen looked awesome and he definitely earned himself a title shot. I can't help but think how awesome him vs O'Malley would be stylistically, but Merab isn't getting beat by either.
 
What the hell are they doing with heavyweight? Aspinall really not getting a fight while Jones attempts to recover from his stubbed lady parts? Love mma, but the ufc as a professional sport is so embarrassing with this kind of stuff. Fight or vacate already.

ilia vs da bronx fight for the light weight belt now in July at a stacked ufc 317 :excited: and chimaev vs ddp in august :towelwave:at ufc 318

Topuria and DDP, but really fun fights.

I think Ilia wins as well but Khamzat becomes and new

I don't think Khamzat has the gas tank to go 5 with DDP and also don't think he can put him away before the championship rounds. I've also bet against DDP to many times and he always finds a way. I don't understand how that ugly striking of his works, but it always does. Really looking forward to the fight either way.
 
Anybody know what is up with Jon Jones? I keep seeing he's retired, but haven't heard anything official. Is he finally done holding Aspinall and the HW division hostage? White appears pretty content to just let him, so retirement seems the only way forward and i hope he really is gone. I loved watching him fight over the years, but he's a world class d bag and it's time to go.

Hadn't heard that. Doesn't sound like a guy planning on defending a belt anytime soon.

Just yesterday he released some news. While training in front of some fans he got asked about Tom Aspinwall

His response was a lot has happened behind the scenes but that he is not allowed to speak about it before the company announces it.

The way he said it, most people took it to mean the fight is on and just waiting for UFC to do a big press conference. Although with Jones, who knows...

If you want to hear exactly what Jones said (and how he said it), you can watch this video

Interesting, thanks for the link. Until the cage is locked it's hard to trust what he says, but Aspinall made a similar cryptic comment too. If they're playing us and this has been in the works all along it is a fight i want to see. If it's more Jones trolling it's past time to vacate and get on with the division.
 
Not super excited for this weekends card, but I'm a fan of both Merab and O'Malley so looking forward to that fight. O'Malley is dangerous, but i can't see Merab losing. There's always the potential for O'Malley to land a big shot, but Merab should be able to do what he does and overwhelm and grind him down.
 
Holland
Mix
Pyfer
Harrison
O'Malley

Got a gut feeling about O'Malley. Over the course of fight week his attitude and approach to the fight impressed me. I like that he put on some muscle aswell. Love Merab and I'm sure he'll end up pulling it off, but I'll predict a picture perfect right hand in round 4 does the job for O'Malley.
