Fantastic card
This card is going to be amazing. Can't wait.
Card delivered.
Thought Cejudo/Cruz might have ended a little early but other than that, great show.
Same here. I would have pointed to the Hardy/de castro fight as the only one to disappoint, but even then, we find out after the fight he hurt his foot in one of the kicks. So now maybe I'll say the Nagano was the most disappointing, but wth, I aint' getting in a cage with him.
I agreed with them calling the cruz fight. Even if he got back up, he was going to get killed. And the title match was a beast. Gaethje impressed the hell out of me. i lol when he tossed his belt to the canvas.
The round was over though. And its not like his head was bouncing off the mat. He was already getting up. No way you stop that when you the bell is seconds away in that situation.

It’s ridiculous how many punches and kicks Ferguson took...I mean is he a robot
I zero'd our my vcash cause I took ferguson to win.
I knew ferguson could take a punch and thought he was a better fighter than Gaethje ... but Gaethje put on a clinic. Ferguson's face was pulp.
That particular official, Keith Peterson, has been in a few controversial calls. One other he stopped for no reason and there are two or three where he let a KO'd man take another 5 - 10 brutal head shots before he stepped in. There's not a lot of consistancy with him at those moments.
I think he may be a little gun shy cause those fights he didn't stop were brutal and he took a lot of heat.
This was the most disciplined fight I've ever seen from Gaethje. If dude is putting it together like this and showing restraint he could be a problem for Khabib. Gaethje is an All-American wrestler too and even though he never uses it in the cage, it prevents people from taking him down. Should be a really interesting fight against Khabib and I can't wait for it too.
I've never seen anyone grapple and swarm like khabib. it's like having twelve monkeys clinging to you. But I expected Ferguson to get him to the ground too and it never happened.
And you are right about Gaethje's discipline. There were a couple of times he backed off after giving frerguson a monster shot when in every previous fight, he was always continued with the hard press. It was a growth I hadn't expected.

That was total domination for 5 rounds. Ferguson was hanging in and I thought maybe he could outlast him but Gaethje just gained confidence and got better as the fight went on. What a win.
