    Man, Machida has been my favourite fighter for a long while, it's pretty tough watching him get ko'd like that.

    Good submission by Carlos Junior was a matter of time,totally out grappled Gordon

    Truck will be cut now I'd imagine. He may feel slightly aggrieved as he should have been given the decision against Chris Dempsey back in April.

    It just goes to show what an impact poor judging decisions can have. 0-3 looks an awful, awful lot worse than 1-2. He'd be guaranteed another fight at 1-2. Now his UFC career is probably done.

    Romero is one scary dude, vicious KO from the short elbows. MW division is bloody crazy.

    Crazy though he has looked like on the small size end of MW but wasnt a tiny LHW. Anyome else find something amiss?

    Really impressed by larkin, thought he looked great!

    It was hard to watch a legend eat elbows but Romero is a beast...if they could just stop doing post fight interviews he could even become a fan favourite

    For a big guy, Romero is like a spring. Flying in with kicks and knees and just reset his stance with ease whenever he misjudged them.

    Myself and mate usually watch the fights together and stick a few bets on with each other. I had Romero and he had Machida.

    Felt Yoel wasn't throwing enough punches but what he did land got through in short little bursts. Very crisp and technical performance.

    Those elbows though... So much power from short elbows to KO Machida was brutal.

    Sad to see Lyoto lose like that and I really don't know where he can go from here.

    I'd love him to come back from this but I don't know if I can watch him take any more punishment like that on Saturday.
