    I'm not surprised. As amazing as Jacare is on the ground, he is average enough on the feet.

    Wow. Wouldn't have called that in a million years. Never really rated Whittaker as highly as some did but I have to eat my words now. Quality performance.

    Jasus he made a show of jacare. Fair play to him. He is so quick on his feet and takedown defence was excellent. A serious contender

    I remember we discussed this, and in fairness you did say you'd eat your words if hes not destroyed by a top fighter or grappler :pac:



    Absolute animal the guy is,


    Anyone think it was early stoppage?

    Why??

    Rankings are pretty much spot on for both these guys considering their records in the division and it's not like they were miles apart in their placings.

    Mario Yamasaki was waiting for an invitation to stop Whitaker from flat-out murdering Jacare. Crazy late stoppage.

    Well he's made a fan out of me now, that's for sure. No problem admitting he made me look a right mug. :pac:

    I think the way he stopped it made it look a bit weird but Jacare wasnt escaping that barage there on second viewing, I'd say UFC wont be happy if they gave him a big money contract now hes locked in for 8 more fights.

    Joe Rogan trying to sell this Swanson/Lobov fight is hilarious.

    He needs to call out the likes of romero there for me and solidify himself as top contender for the belt

    Didnt see anything wrong with the stoppage. Souza was doing enough in terms of movement after he was dropped to be allowed carry on. It's not like he was just covering up.

    It was stopped at the right time.

    Its strange as it looked like he was gone completely and it should be stopped but then seemed to come slightly back around and then you would say he shouldn't have stopped it.

    He got rocked a good few times so he can't be let get hit that many times but it felt a bit early. I dunno. A very strange one that I am in 2 minds

    UFC will be DELIGHTED!!

    Whitaker is a good looking fella and speaks English and is a straight-up murderer with his hands! Compared to a Brazilian with no English and a phenom on the mat (where most casuals get bored).

    Dana will be smiling ear to ear. I've a feeling Chris Weidman is insane enough to fight Jacare next.

    I think that will be good. At least Artem goes for the KO and Cub does too.

    Let them bang bro!!!!

    if he had stopped it 10/15 seconds earlier it would have made more sense
    he was barely getting hit when the ref stopped it
