Weird fight. Chimaev was unimpressive but I think that’s the correct decision.

Usman earned respect for sure.

The funniest part is if you asked any non-Arab in the building "what country are you in" 99% would incorrectly respond "Abu Dhabi" anyway lol.

Not sure how I would score that one. I think the draw is a fine scorecard but I'm not sure if maybe I was just giving too much credit to the underdog.

Would have loved to see 5 rounds with a full camp for both guys - based on what we just saw, Usman might take that.

I feel like Chimaev has gotten used to finishing guys early so when he doesn't then he doesn't have a backup plan. But, still a good win.

Whenever he gets into a 5 round fight, the gas tank is going to be a big question.

I think Strickland will be a problem for Chimaev if Chimaev can’t submit him inside the first one or two rounds. Sean is a very good defensive wrestler and has much better hands.

Damn. That's not even like "Well, if he had a full camp" type of finish. Just an incredible kick from Islam.

Huge win for Islam but a lot of those ground and pound (which probably weren't needed) seemed to be the back of the head. Not that it matters.

Why do they have to bring that little shit to everywhere? Toss him over the fence for maximum entertainment.

I counted 3 hammer fists to the back of Volk's head just prior to the finish

The ref didn't intervene, the broadcast team didn't mention them

Are they illegal strikes or not?
