Man, that guy Perez threw 104 punches in the first round in stopping Torres. Torres, himself, had looked great coming into the UFC. Heads have to roll. Heads up for all the guys coming out and not fighting for rounds at a time (Lewis, Ngannou *cough cough*).
Tough seeing Swanson lose. I really wanted him to get a shot at the title after such a storied and lengthy career. Man.
Santos took a comfy decision over Holland as expected, if not a letdown there was not crushing KO.
Cejudo, man....did the unthinkable. Pulled the Weidman over Anderson style upset. My hat off to him. Mighty Mouse...seemed more relieved than anything after it was over. Not upset. Not fazed. Just like, my wife's having our third kid, gonna go home and be with them, see what's next. Also, my hat off to Cejudo for immediately offering to do what Mighty Mouse wouldn't, which was face Dillashaw. Now all of a sudden Dillashaw wants to be lukewarm. Lame.
Garbrandt. No excuses this time, pal. Dillashaw was even more on him this time, and I think that first time Dillashaw buzzed Garbrandt, the armor started to crack. Dillashaw brutally punishes him from the wrist ride to the knee wedge-turtle position. Would have been a falling tree slumped against the cage style KO if the ref hadn't stopped it. The talk of Dillashaw as the greatest bantamweight of all time, however, isn't accurate. Split decision loss or no, he lost to Dominic Cruz who is flat out the best bantamweight of all time. Period. Dillashaw has to beat him to lay claim to being the best bantamweight of all time. Battering Barao before anyone else did is legit, and beating Garbrandt twice is also legit. But that loss to Cruz still matters in the all time top BW spot discussion/narrative.
Ramos got a liver punch stoppage KO over Kang.
Zhang had trouble putting away Taylor who got on her bike and did some sticking and moving, and with her stockier frame, sloughed off the takedown attempts. Zhang, however, will be some good matches in her division going forward.
