Don’t think Diaz lasts with anybody in the top 10 to be honest, just didn’t have the gas tank.

But of fun and a good option to have to bulk up main cards. His boxing looked up there with with anybody in the UFC to be honest, just no power behind anything.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Loved the dad bod - generally shocked with how well he managed to stay in the fight. And yeh his boxing looked good, honestly thought while I was watching this was a better boxing contest than AJ!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't get me started on AJ... I've always thought he was massively overrated, but his performance on Saturday night was awful.

AJ had a 4 inch reach advantage over Usyk, but it looked like it was the other way around.

Even when he was clearly behind on points, he didn't go for the KO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
His corner told him to stick behind his jab going into the 10th or 11th, maybe they thought they could still take it on points.

AJ tried to save something to go the distance, but he lacked power and aggression in there, the two things that made him champ in the first place.

As a boxer, he is massively over hyped, the comeback vs an ageing Vlad and some early demolitions skewed peoples perceptions.

Christmas has come early guys, UFC 267 this weekend and UFC 268 next weekend. Back to back monster cards. Cannot wait

Islam next champion by the looks of it

GLOVER, 42 year old champ

Him vs Dustin will be a fascinating fight, if Dustin can beat Charles.

I'd also be interested in seeing Charles vs Islam as both have a high level ground game.

Yan vs Cory was such an elite level contest. The movement and technique on show was precise and exquisite. Yan is a beast though and it's going to be tough to beat him.

I honestly think Jan overlooked him but It's hard not to feel joy after seeing Glover win the title after such a long journey in the sport.

Oh and if that wasn't enough, we have UFC 268 next week

What a fight, Gaethje v Chandler

What a card......and seriously how did we get so many rounds of fighting??

Loved the two B2B fights with Gaethje and Burgos and co.

Phenomenal card.

That Gaethje vs Chandler promised so much and it delivered on all those promises. I was reluctant to give Chandler his props when he first came to the UFC but this guy has won me over with his toughness and attitude. Gaethje continues to be a monster and I expect him to fight for the title next.

Burgos fight was insane. Those leg kicks were punishing.

Rose vs Zhang was a lot more competitive and both women showed improvements but Rose was ultimately the better mixed martial artist.

Usman vs Colby wasn't quite the back and forth war that the first fight was but it was still exciting and despite almost being finished in round 2, Colby came back and had Usman hurt a few times but the champion was composed and saw out the victory.

Incredible night.

Great night of fights.

Chandler and Gaejthe is a headliner if ever I saw one. A shame that wasn’t given the 5 rounds it deserved.

Fights to make next:
Usman vs Leon/Masvidal winner
Colby vs Leon/Masvidal loser
Rose vs Carla
Zhang vs JJ
Gaethje vs Dustin/Oliviera winner
Chandler vs Tony

Card tonight looks pretty epic

On paper should be fun

A stacked card tonight. I'm hoping Dustin can pull it off and become the champion but Oliviera has been looking excellent. I don't see Nunes having any issues in defending her title and watch out for Kai vs Cody, I suspect that will be a war.

WOW

Domination

NUNES GOT DESTROYED

Didn’t even put up a fight on the ground. Ate too many of those jabs.

Underwhelming, domination from Olives.

Great submission

Dustin falls short again

Gaethje next in line

Loved seeing Nunes get smashed.

And Pena looked damn sexy in the pre fight conference

Oliveira gonna run through the whole division because of his superior grappling.

Gets caught a lot though. Looked like Poirier had him early on - as did Chandler.

I like Oliveira though, good fighter.
