   wow indeed.

1.6 or something for Stipe

1.64 just before it started.

Brock's in the house.

He looked shook by everything that landed before the KO

Yeah Stipe had a bloody eye. Thought it looked a bit early to stop it but he caught him good.

lol I only look in on UFC now and then. Unused to watch it regularly 8-10 years ago and recall Brock Lesnar getting demolished as a regular feature but he was somehow still the biggest thing in the sport . And now whenever I catch a heavyweight fight he is STILL being touted as the next big thing.

The stoppage was spot on. Tremendous punch put him down and the follow ups were bang on.

Brock's been away for a few years but he still hasn't given up on it.  But afaik he's still with the WWF.   He must be 40+ now though.

So Lesnar can get all kinds of hiding, fail drug tests, shout muthafka on live TV and Dana White is wanting him involved still ????

The Perry-Felder fight was great.

It's all about the PPV money.  Lesner and McGregor bring in the dollars.

McGregor at least is a brilliant fighter. Lesnar always seemed outclassed by anyone not significantly smaller.

He exposes the UFC to a wider audience (guess a lot of the wrestling fans'll pay to see him in UFC). In fairness he was suffering from diverticulitis during some of his time in the UFC. But yeah,  he's past his best now.

yeah ufc are just clamouring for ppv's atm. ever since the fertita's sold it a couple years ago, WME(the new owners) have realised they paid over a billion $'s too much lol so are just trying to make as much as they can to pay of the debt. i liked the ufc a lot more a couple years ago, but still like it and am making more than ever on it so im not complaining. lesner is still a big draw for casuals ofc. and with mcgregor being absent for so long they really need some big names.

felder vs perry was great fight. fotn for sure. I honestly think felder could be LW champ right now. he could of defeated the khabib we saw vs iaquinta if ufc had picked him as a replacement as they should of.

millender and hooker looked sensational also tonight. they both will go far in the sport.

dunno what to think about dc ko'ing stipe honestly, it's pretty crazy, not how i thought it'd go down. feel bad for stipe, he's better than what he showed tonight. pretty amazing what DC has done though, all credit to him. both were/are fantastic champions and great role models.

Enjoyed the fight Ortega exposed as very easy to hit.

GREAT FIGHT! hard to watch toward the end, ortega is too tough for his own good, what a chin he has, he absorbed the most sig strikes in a fight ever i think. holloway looked simply incredible, I was ultra impressed by his output and combos. he's one of the top p4p in the sport right now..

santos vs manuwa was even crazier, maybe round of the year or even fight of the year, i have yet to rewatch but cannot wait. in hindsight holloway at evens was an incredible price. he really deserved to be 1.2 judging by that performance.
