    I feel like I might need to be on the receiving end of some ground and pound. Everytime I see the ref stop it im like bro he was fine let the fight go on. Based on the moicano and Lopez fights

      Hands down and legs open for kicks. I thought he was on his way to a loss too. Nice turn around and finish by Jiri!

      I thought Max was in trouble when he took this fight, but I was wrong. What a savage!

        Same before the fight I just said “I’m rooting for max to survive I don’t want to see his career ended”. I was so wrong max stock through the roof

          Now I wanna see him do whatever the hell he wants. Aside from the lack of low kick defense, he looks like he could give anyone at lightweight and featherweight a tough fight.

    Justin and Max deserve the 300k for fight of the night, unless there is something crazy left to come

      Everyone lower in the card simultaneously shed a tear. Max is a lock for at least $300k.

      Harrison vs. Holm went about as expected. Pennington is probably nervous after seeing that performance.

    I just realized the title of this thread says UFC 290. Good enough for government work!

    Alex made it look easy. What a card! UFC 300 lived up to the hype and then some.

    Good decision. I thought Tsarukyan was out for a second with that d’acre attempt, but he gutted it out.

      I thought he was out at the end because he sort of flopped at one point but turns out he was chilling waiting for the bell.
