Jones-Gane : Great result for Jones, but to me, this was more about Gane's piss poor performance. Just really disappointing. Not only did it make for an anti-climatic fight, we didn't really get any answers to the questions we had about Jones. The UFC and Francis making up would be incredible, but I'm stoked for Jones-Stipe anyway.
Grasso-Shevchenko : Another heavily favored champ losing. Crazy year+. Grasso looked great. She has good boxing, but I thought Valentina would still be better there. Grasso was tagging her any time they were on the feet, though. She's definitely at a disadvantage on the ground, but not so much so that she couldn't get back to her feet. Really uncharacteristically dumb decision from Valentina to throw that spinning kick. You're in control of the fight by taking her down. Why throw something like that? But man, Grasso jumped on that so quickly. No doubt a rematch is coming. Valentina will be favored and she'll probably win, but Valentina's days of just running through girls I think is over. Wonder if they try to rebook Santos-Blanchfield now?
Rakhmonov-Neal : Worthy Fight of the Night. Not as dominant for Rakhmonov as one might hope, but I think this will also put him on the map for some fans now. Can't wait to see who he gets next. I wonder if Neal has something going on in his personal life. Missing weight badly and Dana still giving him his performance bonus?
Not much to say about Gamrot-Turner or Nickal-Pickett.
Cody-Jones : Terrible performance from Cody. This fight was made for him to look good and he ended up leaving much to be desired. Just a crazy fall from the top for this guy.
Du Plessis-Brunson : What a slopfest. Brunson's late career push for a title shot was fun, but it's over. He should probably retire at this point.
Ribas-Araujo : Still think Ribas would be better at 115.
