Absolutely pumped for this. There’ll not be a more stacked card this year. Crazy how much stronger this card is than 258. I genuinely think Dana had Usman headline a weak card to bring him back down to earth after 251 did such monster numbers. I imagine Usman has been pushing for more money after 251's success, and Dana wanted to prove that he's not a draw.

That surprises me. I can't imagine Izzy would cut the extra weight which suggests he's had trouble bulking up. Exactly. As we saw when Max was up against Dustin, the weight makes a big difference. Punches just don't hit as hard at that size. Izzy has had trouble with much stockier fighters in the past. Gastelum would have finished him if he had a higher fight IQ, and he barely squeaked past Vettori. I'm not much of a betting man, but I might have a value bet on Jan. I might as well guarantee the jinx.

How stupid is Yan's corner for telling him to hit. You people had just one job.

Jan was stupid. He was ahead on the cards and does something that moronic.
Nunes is a fucking animal aswell. Legit think she could go up against some of the men and give them a good go. She destroyed Anderson in no time. Dont even think Anderson landed a punch. I don't see anybody beating her. She's near untouchable.

What a weird card. So much crazy stuff happening.
Yan is a clown. That's worse than a schoolboy error. Both him and his corner should be embraced.
I've finally correctly predicted an upset! Genuinely can't remember the last time that happened. I'm going to spend my winnings on a huge fucking steak and a bottle of Whisky. Happy for Jan, he deserved it. The fight was a lot closer than the judges made it out to be, though. Half the time I wonder if MMA judges are watching the same fights as me. I think Jan won, but 49-45? That's crazy.
If I never again hear Joe Rogan on commentary it will be too soon. He should stick to radicalising impressionable young men. He's far better at that than he is at commentating fights.

He's bought into his own hype and he operates on inherent bias rather than what's actually happening in front of him. Can you imagine he told Cruz not to bring up political issues when he was talking about Monster Energy drink . Absolute clown. They should have had Cruz or Bisping in there alongside DC. This was actually an underwhelming card. Not one memorable fight among all of them. Nunes did what we all expected her to do. EDIT: D'Oh, Cruz was fighting. So yeah Bisping in there would have been better.

Rogan’s commentary in the main event was a joke. You could tell who he wanted to win and probably who the UFC as a whole wanted to win. Until the take downs from Jan, neither fighter had done enough to win that fight. Izzy giving it “dare to be great” or whatever. He fought that fight the same way he fought Romero when he was scared of his power. There’s no daring about that, he fluffed it big time. Well done to Jan.
Poor card overall, big let down. The only memorable moment will be an illegal knee.

There’s such a discrepancy between the top level female fighters and the rest. You’ve basically got Nunes, Shevchenko, Thug Rose and Zhang. Then everyone else seems miles away from them in terms of quality.

The only memorable moment will be an illegal knee. Rogan is so biased. He's always been a poor commentator and lacked insight, but now all he does is talk up his favourite, regardless of what's happening in the fight. It's always more obvious when the fighter in question has been heavily invested in by the UFC. I doubt that's a coincidence. I'm certain Rogan and his bullshit has influenced results in the past. Lawler Vs. Askren being the most obvious example. I can't stand the guy. Did you miss the prelims? There was Tim Elliott and Jordan Espinosa loudly discussing Espinosa's alleged history of domestic violence while on the ground, and whatever the fuck was going on with the finish of Kara-France Vs. Bontorin. The main card was a bit on the meh side, but the prelims were pretty fun.

Looks like Dan Hardy has been fired. He's been on thin ice for a while.
