GDT: UFC Fight Night: Font vs Vera

[CDJ]

Vera is always fun

Vera, what a tough dude. His face looks unmarked, that's crazy.

Again I think he blocked way more with his arms than people realize.. he had his guard up almost the whole time. But yeah, even at at that… it doesn’t even look like he was in a fight.

I had it 49-46 for Chito myself. What a fight!

POTN: Brito and Figueiredo

FOTN: Vera-Font (Vera gets the entire 100k because Font missed weight)

Check out Vera's post fight presser. It's pretty good.

I'm sorry I didn't make a real GDT, I had exams all week and then my sports focus became the NFL Draft, plus I worked all day Saturday and missed the event

Weird fight. Chito clearly won, landing the more significant shots, but kind of hard to know what to take from that fight. I mean, if rounds were 4min 45seconds instead of 5min, he probably loses that fight 50-45 or 49-46.

Really fun main event but it was a bit of a weird one. Font looked good but Vera is so tough and was great at the end of the last 4 rounds.

I thought Vera made a major mistake not backing off Font when he knocked him down with about 2 minutes left at the end of either Round 3 or 4 (can't remember which) and gave Font time to recover. Just really, really poor fight IQ letting Font lie there and recover. Can't make those mistakes vs the top of the division.

I know people had a problem with the Collier/Arlovski scoring but I didn't mind it that much. I have so much respect for how Arlovski has stuck around this long and is winning fights but it can be pretty boring to watch at times.

Really nice breakout win for Brito over Fili.

Chito acknowledged this in his post fight press conference and I actually really liked his answers. He seemed very mature and like he knew what he was talking about. He also said he can learn from it.

IMO if he got the finish in the 3rd then that probably doesn't get him FOTN. Since it did go all 5, that's an 100k for Chito lol. Not much to complain about. His first 5 rounder and he got some great experience while impressing everyone. I didn't really give him a chance and he out classes Font

I had a lot of money on Arlovski lol

Haven’t had a positive break like that in quite some time


I like Brito’s shark tattoo, hopefully he can take some of his money and get that touched up

Definitely worked out perfectly for him, no doubt about that.
