    that eye poke was disgusting and ****ed up a bit of his performance as he was getting back into it, but he was basically out only for that bell so his luck sort of canceled itself out.

    I think the main decider was how much of a punch stipe could take. thought that was pretty clear after surviving such big punches from nganou

    I took it that the fact he was demonstrably clenching stiles legs which protected his face was evidence of him defending himself so fight not stopped. Not sure how long he would have been able to continue that and the bell definitely saved him.

    Goddamn the chin and heart on both those guys. Glad Stipe won but both looked so exhausted. New gloves seriously needed to help stop the eye pokes. Jones can F off sniffing around for a shot at Stipe. I hope it happens eventually as would love to see Stipe wreck him.

    Yep same here. Not sure what happened the recordings. Only had 70mins and started at them announcing the decision for the main event.

    Some fight. DC was lucky to last last around.

    Any word on O’Malley, was he injured?

    He must certainly was, some lad on Reddit posted a few days ago that he'd noticed Sean hobbling around awkwardly and only walking on the treadmill in episode 5 of UFC embedded.

    Also, some punter put $40k on Chitto to win in the 1st round only a few hours before the fight. He had to have had some inside info. Paid out $190K.

    It could have been a great fight too, shame.

    Nice fight. Stipe just ate everything he threw at him never in trouble.

    Looks like Chito hurt him with a leg kick early on as well. Lads on Reddit reckon it was some nerve in his leg that was hurt, you can see his foot dragging shortly after the kick and when he went down at the finish.

    I thought Rogan and Cruz were biased in the commentary and didn't give stipe enough credit, Anik was the only one praising him. Thought Stipe comfortably won that 49-46, maybe even 50-45 at a push, youd never tell listening to the commentary

    Generally a fan of both Cruz and Rogan

    Sickening to see most people saying Stipe only won cos of eye poke. DCs eye was badly swollen before the poke. Stipe didn't seem worried atall about DCs power, walked straight into a few nice shots. Complete domination I thought.


    People too saying o malley lost cos of a freak accident, i thought chito blocked a kick an hurt him, then he rolllee his ankle.

    John kavanagh on Twitter explaining what he thinks may have happened. Same with DJ and Cejudo. Kick behind the knee damages the nerve

    This'll be the moment. He switches stance immediately and you can see his foot starting to drag.
    Peroneal nerve is what people are saying he hit.

    First time seeing that, doesn't even look like he connected properly with that kick but it's clear it hurt him. I thought it was a checked kick.
