Jon Jones.

What a waste of talent.

He had a chance to maybe go down as the greatest MMA fighter ever.

Ehh. In unsurprising news, Dana White caught up in an extortion attempt with a Brazilian stripper and a sex tape. While I'm not the moral police, when a guy is married with a family it's pretty despicable. Given his line of work and the how he slithers his best fighters out of scummy situations, I'm not surprised such a thing has come out.

Praying that Ferguson doesn’t lose tonight, I’m worried tonight’s the night he’s finally gonna get ko’ed by recklessly walking into a Gaethje bomb.

Tony vs Khabib has to happen. I like Gaethje too and think him vs Khabib would be very intriguing, but only after Tony gets a shot. This fight should be incredible.

Would also love to see Cruz win the title again tonight, will be interesting to see if he’s lost a step or not.

This card is stacked, from the early prelims to the main event.

SoooOoo0000 looking forward to the event tonight, I've been itching for something anything. Nervous because of Jacare and his trainers testing positive however. The blowback if we get a slew of positive rona tests in the next two week will he bruuuutal. Let's pray the big red goof managed to pull this off.

Mitchell is a beast on the ground, god damn.

And what a war between Price and Luque, amazing.

That was brutal, Ferguson took about 15 massive knockout punches and kept coming.
Could overhear Dana say "fight of the night guaranteed"

A lot were hard punches but 15 knockout punches against trained fighters? Not a chance - that was selling the story on the announcers part. I'm surprised at Ferguson. He's normally prepared and goes all out, why didn't he do much this fight? He just looked like he was waiting for attrition to kick in, but he got his butt kicked and he was the one who probably couldn't breathe right after his nose broke.

Outstanding performance from Gaethje...amazing how different he has looked after his losses.

Tony’s chin is ridiculous.

No Tony vs Khabib but Gaethje vs Khabib is super intriguing, decent chance he has the wrestling skills to keep it standing.

Not sure if I buy Cejudo retiring.

I don’t think that’s exaggeration, those were the same punches he used to put out guys in the first round on his current winning streak. Anyone else in the division gets knocked out sooner with those punches

Maybe a bit of an exaggeration but there were a lot of hard punches that landed clean. A lot fighters would have dropped from those bombs.

The punches sounded so much more vicious without crowd noise.

Dammmmn.. that was fun.

Nothing really to add. buuuutt how much of a complete a-hole is Dom Cruz??? Talking down to the ref like that, thinking because he wanted different standard it should apply? what a egotistical nightmare he must be to deal with!

Some guy just bet a million on Nunes to only win 166k. The chances of her losing are pretty slim but that would be so funny.

Sean O’Malley has that special aura about him, really want to see him against the best at 135.

Canada would have another UFC champ if Spencer wins. I can’t imagine Nunes losing this one though.
