Damn fine return for GSP last night. I worry if the fight had gone longer but he ended at just the right time. 

Now does he fight for the welterweight title next and vacate the middleweight title? Or unify the middleweight title against Whittaker.

Didn't see that KO coming, definitely not that quick. Might be it for 145 woman's division if Cyborg leaves.

Wow that was insane. Cyborg didn't respect Nunes' punching power at all. Why did she want to trade strikes with her? Seemed like a bad strategy to me....

Also, man, Jon Jones really outclassed Alex Gustavsson tonight. At no point did I think Alex was much of a threat.

Condit.... Was he ever good? He got totally schooled.



Really enjoyed the featherweight and Anderson/Latifi fight also.

Yes he was a great fighter, just old now. Interesting trend...A lot of top fighters that lost to GSP saw their careers go downhill after the loss. Hughes, Koscheck, BJ Penn, Thiago Alves, Condit, Hendricks were at their peaks fighting GSP and their careers were never the same after losing to him.

Cormier is older, but point taken. That's pretty interesting. Hendricks really baffles me. He really should've won his fight with GSP, you would think he'd just regroup and take the belt.

I think the 1st round was what won it for GSP against Hendricks. Unfortunately for Hendricks, even tho he won the vacant title before going into the crapper, testing got a lot better and he couldn't juice anymore. I think GSP took the will away from a lot of fighters with his total dominance over them. He'd beat them at their specialty and do it with relative ease. Fun fact... since his loss in 2004 he won virtually every single round,(minus the Serra loss), until meeting Hendricks. That's 17 fights where he totally dominated the #1 opponent in his field. He never had an easy fight. GSP was the greatest of all time imho. A last second of the round arm bar against Hughes and a lucky punch from Serra are the only 2 blemishes on his record.

UFC 250 tonight at the UFC's APEX facility in Vegas. Canadian Felicia Spencer fights Amanda Nunes for the 145 pound title in the main event. 1st Canadian to get a titles shot since GSP won the 185 pound title when he defeated Michael Bisping.

Poor Felicia, she never really stood a chance. Amanda could probably take out guys in her weight class. She is such a tank and a brutal striker. Gotta hand it to Felicia, she didn't quite, but it's a next level challenge trying to beat the [emoji238]
