Great fights. Kelvin surged too early....and WHY do you shoot a double after putting someone on stiff legs with a head kick??? He had his chances, his cardio failed him, I had him winning after 4. Crazy he's only 27. He'll be back maybe a little more fit.
Max is so tough, but has to grow in to 155.
Whoever that guy was fighting for Kahlil Roundtree, give him a contract! He looked like a different fighter.
More questionable decisions as well. That factor is one of the biggest issues with the sport right now, particularly when they travel to new countries and cities. Why can't the UFC employ some retired fighters to judge?Last edited by DaveVt; 04-14-2019 at 07:37 AM.

Then I guess that makes Johnny Walker a god because he executed the old Rountree five months ago. Dominated is too light a term for it. He did Rountree as casually as if he had to put down a hurt animal. Just sayin', light heavy is a fairly thin division and Rountree isn't even top 15. He put on a good show but Anders sure wasn't ready for the big stage. I'll have to see Rountree step up to serious competition before I get back on his hype train. IMO, a match with two unranked fighters shouldn't be slotted so high on a big ppv night.
Rogan and DC were raving about Rountree's improvement. Yeah, there was a lot of room for improvement after being taken behind the barn and shot like this. This was more like a captive bolt gun than an elbow.
The co-main sure was epic and I agree that Gastellum blew his early chance to finish the Stylebender. Once he had recovered enough to set up and throw a precise spinning elbow, the tide had turned.
I was genuinely surprised Holloway got lured into some swang and bang in round one. Perhaps he felt there was nothing to lose since they weren't fighting for his belt. Getting stunned cost him his mobility and he's just not the same fighter if he is not controlling the fight with his footwork. Holloway has to execute a perfect technical fight to beat an elite 155lb striker; obviously, he did not.
Now Poirier gets to fight Kabob and that will probably go the same way as Kabob's last two fights against boxers. Kabob wins. Boxers aren't worth shit once they are grounded plus, if he can't knock out Holloway in a straight boxing match, then he probably won't KO Kabob. Poirier is great but I think dethroning Kabob requires a skill set more like Cormier's.Last edited by neckdeep; 04-14-2019 at 07:13 PM.

Poirier is a black belt in BJJ. Probably a lot more dangerous on the ground that Iaquinta or Conor. I don't think it will matter as Khabib's top game has not been stopped yet. That combination of low mount and inside wrist control leads to getting punchedin the face until you turn your back or give up an arm. The end.

Poirier has only had one submission finish in the last seven years and it was against a badly injured Pettis. He really doesn't go to the ground much against top tier fighters. I think the guy to beat Kabob has to be able either to out-wrestle him or, failing that, has to be strong enough on the ground to get back to his feet and continue striking. I think it is going to take an elite wrestle boxer with crushing elbow strikes to beat Kabob.

I think Geathje is more dangerous but it would be cool to see the 10th planet system vs. fundamentally sound wrestling pressure. Jiu Jitsu will help Dustin do a better job of defending that leg mount than either Conor or Ragin' Al did. Khabib's system from top in the cage is so good. He is explosive on his take down entries and keeps incredible posture all the way through his take downs. It's hard to put a pace on someone when they counter pressure with wrestling. You end up on bottom where it's difficult to force action obviously. His only "Hole" is that he get's hit....but he seems to have a chin. I think after this next fight he fights GSP. George might be the guy to deal with his pressure. Might even double leg him.

It was odd, the commentators suggested that Overeem had trained knees for this fight, as if it was something new, but knees have always been one of his most devastating weapons, he's had 9 TKOs from knees (not counting the Lesnar fight, in which they figured significantly) before this fight. I was just glad to see that he wasn't running away from his opponent's power this time, which has been too often the case since he went to Jackson/Wink.

Rory sounds like he's had enough broken noses. Firas thinks he'll be back.
Cerrone this w/e! My favorite fighter. If he makes a statement against Ragin' Al he should be in the mix for a top 2 fight. I think Tony has to get the winner of the next title shot, but the winner of that fight? Not to sleep on Al's toughness and power, I think he's a tough fight for anyone.
Always like Cub fights too. He's in a weird spot. 3 fight slide, but he's been fighting only tough guys forever. Lost to Ortega while beating him up. Fights a kid at 11-1 who hasn't fought anybody, but sure looks tough. I'd love to see Cub go on a run before he's done and get another shot at Ortega and maybe fight Poirier again at some point.
