    Think Max wins the main event . As long as he comes out like the old Max .

    He is much better striker and should be able to keep the fight at distance to stop Ortega getting a hold of him . Ortega will get a hold of him once or twice but think Max can fight him off and tko him in the 4th

    Manua caught a bit cold coming out for the first, but strangely looked to be in more control despite getting rocked. Santos was wild. Great 1st round though.

    Everything thrown from deep with bad intentions in that fight.

    Short and sweet. Very entertaining start. Nice of him not to land more shots when he dropped Manuwa.

    This. WHY????? Lack of the maniac factor, killer instinct----what? I couldn't believe he gave him time to recover, figured he'd lose after that.

    I just meant after the finishing punch. Agreed he might have finished it in the first if he had taken the chance to dive in, but he seemed reluctant to go to the ground.

    Ah, thought you meant Manawa, lol. Can tell I am tired..

    Anyhow, neither here nor there, it just seemed such a lost window , specially when I keep reading this could be the end of the road for him in the UFC.

    Cause as Rogan pointed out that chap has the thor hammer tattooed onto his chest im pretty sure he believes in his power so to speak. Why try to kill or injure someone, its just being a dick

    No, this mixup is my fault, I thought he was talking about Manawa dropping Thiago.

    Timid first....give it to Dawodu.

    Was this fight moved from the undercard? It seems more of a Fight Night type rather than a PPV.

    Bochniak needs a KO now, but it doesn't look likely tbh.

    Dawadu showed a nice range of skills, but the fight was like a sparring session, not very exciting. Bochniak barely touched him.

    Did I hear that right? a judge gave it 29-28 to Bochniak, how ridiculous.

    That judge should be taken out already. How he gave that to Bochniak is crazy.

    This one should be a lot better. Tough to call this one, but I'm hoping Gunnar can win.
