Great turnaround from Oliveira. The only bad thing about that fight was that someone had to lose.

I'm not surprised, motherfucker!
Told you all, people are sleeping on Do Bronx. The way he just flat embarrassed Tony really should've woken up the world, but people still slept on him.

Yea i will eat crow.
That sucks for Dustin though.
Congrats to Do Bronx! He has a chance to chase history now. He is already the greatest sub artist in history. And he isnt really that old yet. He came a long way. Watching him get finished a few times years back made me have reservations, but not anymore!
His own contemporaries didnt believe in him for fucks sake. Chandler, Khabib, and Gaethje all talked about Oliviera previously being finished by B tier guys and predicted Porier would win.

Yep that was me and they were terrible at the time but I guess also a little memorable due to nostalgia.

Can't say that I didn't see the card going the way that it did last night. I was very surprised by the Pena upset though and also thought Cruz would lose. Pena almost made it look like it was a work. Cruz must've been pissed by the DC thing or something - he turned it on in round two and looked better than he has in years. It'll always be hard to figure out that bouncing unpredictability. I thought that was a pretty good card. O'Malley needs to step up and take someone that the crowd is familiar with next.

I did want to add that I don't think Pena is going to have as good of a performance in the inevitable rematch. She should expect the best of the best from Amanda in a rematch. I can see Ronda falling because her only real skill-set was the Judo and submissions. Nunes however is an all-around great. That performance by Nunes we will not forget but I also can't forget all of her other successes. That just didn't look like her out there and Pena wasn't doing anything to make me think that a fighter of Nunes caliber would give it up that easily.

i mean the previous ufc w/ tate only one pon was given, it was to the only non decision of the fight card, pretty sad, so it's more of a
"pon really means something"
one time i came into this team and on weekends they'd always get pizza cuz at one point in time they "worked" on the weekends so they always kept getting pizza (as in charged to the company not their own pocket)
well that was done away with real quick, b/c they started treating it like a free weekend meal and not a "hey guys, thanks for staying late, i'll get you some pie's alright?"
(guess who started to really appreciate free pizza after not getting it for a year?)
dana knows when to hold back pons and when to dish em out when they really deserve it.
