    Aldo by KO/TKO
    In the intro sequence there, Bisping managed to declare both Holloway and Aldo the greatest featherweight of all time in about 90 seconds.

    Had a laugh when Anil said PVZ's championship aspirations had been derailed by injuries. Rather than, you know, much better fighters than her.

    Great scrap there, as expected. 29-28 Rose seems like the obvious result.

    Rose is a phenomenal technical striker and foot work!

    I don't know what happened to her face when typing this lol

    That takedown didn't work out well for Aldo

    It was the body kick beforehand that went unnoticed that made him shoot.

    Really entertaining main card so far.

    This Yan v Aldo fight is really intriguing. On a knifes edge.

    Aldo by KO/TKO
    Cracking fight. Both of them starting to show some signs of gassing, perhaps Aldo slightly more so. No surprise given the pace they've been going. Think the heaviest shots have come from Yan.

    Should have been stopped 90 seconds earlier.

    Jesus imagine taking that many extra hits at the end.

    Will absolutely love seeing some of those heavy a lead shots from Yan bounce of Cejudo's chin.

    What was the ref playing at!! Shouldn't be let near the octagon again the clown.

    Also clearly not responding for well over a minute.

    He allowed Yan get a free dig in the first round aswell when he complained about fingers in the gloves.

    The fingers didn't come into it at all but it was obvious Yan either didn't understand or wasn't listening to the instructions. Did he try and talk to him and the corner in between rounds?!

    How tense was Aldo in that fight, looked terrified whole way through. That leg grab and sweep won the fight, basic and beautiful! Ref should have stopped that well before that point, when Aldo was not able to defend.

    Aldo by KO/TKO
    Aldo showed there's plenty left in him but just doesn't have the cardio in him at 135. He looked terrific at times but seemed to get countered, heavily so, on nearly every strike.

    He always looks like that.

    It absolutely should have been stoped earlier.

    But to in all honestly, sometimes the best intelligent defence is to shell up and protect your head. Tough spot from Also to get out of alive.

    Turtle is simply a terrible position (in MMA)

    I'm looking forward to this one. I really hope Max turns it on, 100mph and gets the belt back.
