I agree with the Big man. His time is past...

Stylebender is on another level.
Made a great guest on Joe Rogan last November.

Awesome performance from Holm last night. Absolutely dedicated professional so hoping she’ll get the title shot next although it’s going to be a tough ask v Nunes.

Holly talked about adding aspects to her game as she’s moved through MMA, I think it’s going to have to be power on the punches if it’s nunes next. She throws solid combos but perhaps she needs a strong straight left or uppercut to make nunes weary. We know the power in the kicks is there and she’s developing her ground game so it’ll be interesting how that fight would play out.

Consumate pro and seems like such a decent person. The co main heavyweights were HEAVYWEIGHTS!! But what an entertaining fight!!

I think HH is great, but feel that Nunes is just that bit stronger physically and hits that bit harder, She'd also cut off the ring, rather than chase her as Aldana did.

It wasn't much of a contest last time. Nunes finished her in round 1.

[DocJock]

Nunes would finish me in round one!

[Zarco]

I wouldn't get past the stare down.

Really enjoyed HH performance, got a bit dizzy with 25 mins of circling though.

If there is a worry (which there is), it’s lack of power as Nucky said. She landed so much volume without doing much damage. Nunes would go straight through that attack (again).

I couldn't believe the knock out, it was a solid fight before the KO also.

[DocJock]

I watched the main card before the prelims and was sure Sandhagen would be getting the bonus for best knockout. How wrong was I?

Cory Sandhagen, Tom Breese, Chris Daukaus and Joaquin Buckley all won performance of the night bonuses.

It doesn't look like they awarded a KO of the night bonus.

McGregor boxing matches don't seem to be happening and he's returning in January to fight Poirier.

Exciting....
