    Did you watch the undercard lads?

    Duffy wasn't robbed of the bonus imo, not even close imo. It just unfortunate that the undercard was full of sub.

    Its a hard pill to swallow seeing Alvarez with the belt considering he was close to being cut, its weird I didn't see him as ufc quality. Fair play to him though some work ethic. Dos Anjos looked noticeably different.....

    Got to love the black beast what a man, Roy second stinking performance in a row!

    Great card overall, let's see what happens tonight!!

    Duffy was amazing. That overhand right that started it all off was a thing of beauty. Feinted and showed the left hook, then BOOM perfectly timed overhand. Gorgeous.

    Nice to see Poirier congratulate him after. Have a lot of time for that dude.

    All the brazilians popping or losing.

    Hardly a coincidence. RDA against pettis was ridiculous. Lke a TRT Belfort.

    Usada are defo cleaning house.

    Herb deans the best in the business. I dont know by refs that wouls call it while a fighters still standing. Definetly saved dos anjos. Another one of those uppercuts and his jaw would be wred shut.

    I cant believe anyone see's much difference with RDA, he was lighting Alvarez up in his usual fashion until he got caught.

    We have seen guys have huge performance drops and not look like themselves at all but RDA hasn't changed an iota from anything I can see.
    Yeah but he's Brazilain, so USADA.

    Great stuff from Duffy, looked really sharp.

    Nelson sure wasn't pretty but I thought he won rounds 2 and 3.

    Delighted for Alvarez, never took to Dos Anjos and always thought people were rating him a bit too highly.

    He looked sharp though and the exact same as the Cowboy fight. No idea why people are mentioning usada, not liked he was out of shape and fought rubbish or anything. He was just out on his feet after that first punch. Did well to not go down in a heap a lot earlier.

    Poirier seems like an all round good dude. Big fan of his.

    Really enjoyed that card last night. Dunno how RDA was still on his feet after the shots he took. Good stoppage from Herb.

    Really fun night of fights. Some absolutely brilliant submissions on show.

    Duffy and Alvarez were absolutely sublime but yet again judging absolutely ruined the night.

    How Muhammed and Nelson lost their fights I will never know. Scandalous scoring.

    Nelson done **** all,landed about 5 punches lay in side control attempting no g'n'p or submissions,I dont think he can complain too much tbh.

    Personally thought he did enough. Even with the sound off, visually it looked like Nelson won 2 rounds with takedowns and ground control. Granted, he didn't do a whole lot of work but watching it, it looked like he was in control of Lewis.

    The Muhammed fight though... I thought it was a clear 29-28 victory for him.

    USADA have announced a possible violation in Roy Nelson's post fight drug test from last nights event. Trace elements of granite were believed to be found in Roy's beard

    Watched it today, i'll be boring and just say wow.

    I was glad Lewis got the decision. I've no problem with grappling and Nelson's chin maybe he should have got some award for not going down... but he just didn't do anything on the ground. He spent a lot of time getting him to the ground (or hugging as lewis said) and just not much else.

    Was laughin my ass off at Lewis post fight interview.

    How did dos anjos stay standing? His legs bent completely out of shape and somehow sprung back. Hadn't seen alverez fight before but fair play

    What a sport.

    Only 4 significant strikes......he can take a hell of a punch but he's on a bad run. Even the win over Rosholt was poor

    He is 40 years old. Its only going to get worse from here onwards. I always liked his personality though especially during that TUF season which he won. Dana almost hated him in that season.
