    I know that the fight got stopped because Cowboy couldn't see out of his eye - which in turn was caused by him blowing his broken nose but was it Ferguson's late punch that broke the nose? What I'm getting at is, was the fight indirectly caused by the punch after the buzzer? Really crapy way to end - especially since Ferguson was likely to win regardless.

    I'd say it was the 40 other bunches he took to the nose during the round that done the damage, he even said so himself that he wouldn't blame the shot after the bell.

    He must have one of the least attractive personalities in the entire sport. The whole "Marlon is a Beast and looked HUGE and is so strong" schtick as thinly veiled, "I am in fact God" is so awful. He did win though so there's that...

    Valentina is just terrifying.

    Cowboy - Ferguson was fun, pity about the ending but right outcome. Felt a bit sad for Tony, but fair play to Cowboy being such a gracious loser. Was well in his rights to have a strop but he handled that so well.

    I just finished watching this and liked the event. Sometimes I feel bad just for watching this sport which I know is ridiculous. I never want to see that knockout of Jessica Eye ever again. Also I really wish they would go back to a 2 person commentary team, 1 expert and 1 colour guy is much better instead of having 2 experts just repeating the same thing over and over. Cormier and Rogan all but said Karolina Kowalkiewicz should retire and I think there was a fighter "in big trouble" in every fight last night.

    Great card.

    Grasso and Aljo looked really good.

    Ferguson Cerrone was great while it lasted up but Tony pieced him up after the first. Fight was only going one way in the third. Cowboy probably saved himself a world of hurt.

    That Valentina kick was the sickest KO in quite a while. Real highlight reel stuff. There is nobody with any real chance vs her in that division. Champ v champ against Nunes in the future would be cool.

    Henry is a beast. Fantastic adjustments after getting well beaten in the first. Took Marlon apart then, on the feet as well which I wasn’t expecting. Hope he gets the credit he deserves now because everyone thought Marlon was the champion in waiting.

    Shevchenko by Sub
    only got to watch the card last night but it certainly did deliver.

    some seriously cracking fights. Tony looks great i really think he could give khabib a run for his money.

    can someone explain to me what actually happens when you blow your nose to cause your eye to become so bad?

    Shevshenkos knock out was so scary. I honestly got nervous for eye when she was still out after a few secs. cant see anyone beating her for a while.

    I wont lie i thought henry was going to be stream rolled by marlon. very impressive to see henry make adjustments and come out and totally change his gameplan
    strange who he called out

    Great card. Ferguson v Cowboy was a decent first round but it went majorly downhill, with speed, for Cowboy in the 2nd. It actually reminded me of Max v Ortega in that way.

    After the second round, his eye was swollen but he could see. I actually noticed while watching that he blew it while gearing up for RD3, it was captured on camera, and within about 30 seconds it had swollen shut.

    Good scrap though.

    I have to say I've never particularly enjoyed watching Tuivasa fight nor been overly impressed with his performances. He seems far too one dimensional to me...I know you get away with that a lot more in that weight division and jhe wouldn't be the only one, but I've never quite agreed with some of the praise heaped upon him.

    Love Bullet, the woman is an assassin and imo should be 135 champ too as I had her beating Nunes.

    Not too sure about that celebration though...I know its her national dancing style but, well, its almost like CMG or Joe duffy broke out in a little session of Riverdance after winning their fight. Morto.

    You don't like Lezginka? :p

    Finally got around to watching this after hearing the results.
    Valentina is serious. Those kicks were like she was hitting Jessica with a baseball bat.
