Really wanted Almeida/Blaydes but hopefully Lewis can keep this one interesting.

Not the best card. EZDS v Rinat in the middle of the prelims is a really interesting fight.

Sucks to lose Bonfim/Pichel - hopefully they can re-book it soon. 11 fight card is nice though.

Hill with a typical gritty win over Gomes.

Petrino looks legit - nice KO win.

Judging will be interesting in the Renat fight. I have it a draw albeit not scoring too closely. EZDS 10-8 Round 3.

Brener catches KK and faceplant KOs him. Legit guy to watch going forward.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Holy crap Dalby won lol

 

[m9]

Dalby with the big upset over Bonfim. Bonfim actually looked great for the first 6-7 minutes but Dalby is so tough.

Almeida took full mount on Derrick Lewis? YOU FOOL, it's a trap!!

 

[h2]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more boring 10 minutes of full mouth before.

*edit meant to say mount lol

 

[MD thaivuN]

Most people that mounts Derrick Lewis actually loses the fight. Now we're seeing Almeida gas out and getting swept lol

 

[m9]

Lewis trying to go full-Lewis this fight. On his back doing nothing for most of the first 20 minutes.. but he's got a shot in Rd 5.

 

[Killahpunk]

That was boring.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Almeida survived the worst position in MMA

 

[h2]

I never want to see Almeida headlining a card ever again. Legit one of the most boring fights I've ever seen.

 

[m9]

What a weird, awful fight. Lewis has now made the best HW bjj guy stop trying bjj and the best striker stop striking. Won't get a win this time, though.

 

[Avs_19]

Awful fight. Nice try by Almeida calling out Gane, who might have issues with defending the takedown. Rebook the Blaydes fight.

 

[CutOnDime97]

A truly terrible fight

 

[MMC]

Personally I thought it was a banger with my tv off
