Man yair is amazing. How do you beat a guy who can lank kicks like that? A Muay thai or wrestling specialist could i guess? Wonder if mendes, frankie and halloway can beat him. Featherweight is staxked.

I wouldn't heap praise on him yet, his fight prior to that was not good at all. He shined in this fight because BJ is shite.

Pretty confident as soon as he gets a decent opponent he is going to get wrecked.

BJ's last fight was 3 years ago and he lost that one pretty badly. And his 2 previous fights before were fairly bad too. He is for sure in the twilight of his career.

I dont think it's fair to say yair is amazing when he just came off a split decision win against an average fighter a few months ago.

is he entertaining? yes, but he has a lot to prove.

Terrible technique by Chael. Pretty fundamental jiu-jitsu could have escaped that choke.

Pena was talking way too much before this fight, glad Shevchenko put her in her place

Always liked Cowboy, but honestly, dude is not top tier, always put on good performances though. Masvidal has been improving a lot, good to see him get a big win

N'Gannou was impressive as well. Hope to see more of him

Awful card on paper, even worse how it played out

Should never have been a ppv, and they need to scrap that made up womens title already.

Why? Woman MMA won't involve if they stop it now, when finally some good fighters are finally showing up.

As for the card..it sucked monkey balls. Silva should just retire, he is showing glimpses of greatness here and there, but his body has gave up on him. And since he doesn't have the option to go on TRT i fear he may go out Chuck style..i.e getting your brains scrambled in by the younger elite fighters.

I hope GSP wins. I can't stand Bisping as a champion.

You do realise that its WME who is making the matchmaking, not Bisping right?

Love both these fighters, but i got left hook Larry in this one.
