    That's what happens if your don't drive through a takedown. Lovely loads of filler now.

    How many times can you grab the cage or put your toes in before you get a point deducted?! I think refs should be far quicker to take points away if you want fighters to take it seriously.

    This fight should have been finished about 5 times at this stage.

    Might have had something to do with his unique style of defending strikes almost exclusively with his face

    Deserves his spot in the hall of fame when he eventually retires. Definition of a proper legend.

    Hopefully take some of the arrogance off Gall going forward. Shown up there big time. Completely gassed, no answers for Diego

    No at the end of the day Robbie could stop him but if Ben gets the takedown he won't be getting back up imo

    One also has to wonder how close lawlor still is to the animal he was a few years back and if hes 100% after acl.
    A good first fight to test askren in interested to see how he handles it all.

    Tyron took Robbie's soul, and it was his second coming as well. He looks in great shape but I think Ben mauls him, Ben can be a star he's making people like Woodley! It's a nice scalp if he wins, I'd rather that than him righting a can.

    Here we go, let's see what walker is made of. Hopefully another ko. I remember Cirkhunov smashed Krylov when he was on a tear. ( He had a class win at UFC Dublin) so it's a big step up here. Walker seems an absolute character and star in the making.

    Gall was so crushed by Diego.

    Levels to this game was never more appropriate.

    Ya i agree mate no matter what way you look at askrens record this is a step up against a bad ass seasoned fighter that can strike. Theres no denying askrens grappling abilities though, i just hope it stays standing for a while to see how askrens striking is.

    Well Zabit certainly looked human in that third round. Still think he’s a future champ though, in the next two years as well.

    Easy for Zabit anyway.

    when was the last time you seen anyone from outside the top 10 so easily dominate anyone from the top 5?

    Doubt Zabit will be a champion anytime soon. Ortega would outclass him handily on the feet and if Holloway stays at FW after his fights at LW then I can't see Zabit giving either of them any trouble. Class fighter though. really entertaining.

    The only place Ortega has a hope of beating Zabit is on the ground, and that's a toss up.

    Zabit would light Ortega up on the feet, and I say that as a massive Ortega fan.

    Good for him. He’s excellent at what he does and nobody seemingly has a bad word to say about the guy.

    To be fair though, I’m full of praise for any MMA journalist not named Gareth A Davies.

    I think No Love takes this but I don't think it would be a huge upset if he lost.

    No surprise to hear Dom Cruz talk up Cody seeing as he got tooled up by him.
