POST FIGHT DISCUSSION Damn, what an event full of Fight of the Night contenders that UFC should have just ditch that bonus and just pay the fighters what they truly deserves. I just saw the main card but I also made sure to see the results of other fights of course. Here are my observations based on them.

Tony Ferguson overwhelmed T-CTE – Holy crap, that fight did went like how I imagined the day before the fight. Ortega may have his moments early on but would ended up succumbing to Holloway's volume eventually. In fact it was even more blatant in how it came true. Ortega barely had a moment in the fight except the combo in the later half of the second round and the almost back take in the third. Max made his fans rich last night of course haha. Watching him fight is like seeing the embodiment of the phrase 'Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.' Brian showed his heart in this fight definitely but I wonder how much that rattling damage would affect his career as I read CTE is caused more from repeated head trauma rather than a big single trauma. Probably the reason why Overeem was still articulate and fine (apparantly) because his brain kinda protects him by shutting down before receiving extra damage. Should Holloway decided to stay, he will have to fight Moicano (or even Edgar it depends) and even if he moved up I don't think they will match him up with Conor as Conor just lost in a one-sided fight against Khabib. Ortega should rest and inquire more skill like Yair did after losing to Edgar as he won't be fighting for a title in any time soon.

Miss Checkhook decisioned Female Gollum in a typical Shevchenko fight – I thought it's gonna be competitive but I knew where the fight was going the moment Val tripped Joanna in the first round. As usual Joanna displayed a sound jab and a relentless pace while Val just sit back and counter. While reading through Reddit after the fight, I realized how many there are Shevchenko clit suckers and how blinded they are. Shevchenko did what she does best by letting Joanna played to her strengths. There is nothing wrong with that regardless of how boring it turned out. But these 'fans' keep giving unwarrented praises and disses towards her opponents (like claiming how Joanna looked like shit and is on a three fight skid... when Joanna just won like 3 months ago) which, in my opinion, is not only very disrepectful to her opponents, but also hurtful for Val in the wrong run, as the time when Shev no longer being able to live up to her 'fans' perceived greatness will come along. All and all, she did enough to just win and looked like she had no urgency to finish the fight. Soon people will realize how bad the Female Flyweight division with Shevchenko as a sole elite fighter no matter how the 'fans' are happy for Val winning the belt. Joanna is now in the limbo and I honestly don't know hew she will turn things around as she can't fight for a title and won't be fighting a lower ranked fighter in the near future. She should rediscover her violent roots imo.

Gunni used Brazilian Cowboy to appease MMA Gods and for penance on Dawodu/Bochniyak fight – Gunni returned in a spectacular fashion after being away after several misfortunes by opening a magnificent geyser of hemoglobin on Alex's forehead. Alex did his best in his fight... to cheat the shit out off at every opportunity possible. As far as I saw, he grabbed Gunnar's glove in baseball bat hold to escape from back take, using fence grab to prevent a takedown and dousing himself in water to probably make himself more splippery. In other words, he pulled off many tricks used by our Jacked Cuban Boi Yoel in the most unconvincing manner lol. Gunni should get another shot at a top 10 WW or wait for 165 lbs division to materialize, which will be an eventuality soon.

Dawodu kinda killed his hype in homecountry with tentitive Kyle – I know Kyle is a dangerous mofo but even Zabit gladly took a risk in spite of a staph infection and a broken hand.. while Hakeem point-fought Kyle into a decision. Not that anything is wrong with point-fighting as I am a fan of several point-fighters, namely Cruz, but commetary waxing on Dawodu about how he is a Dutch Kickboxer came off as jarring when he didn't displayed the technical aggression or ferocity signature to a Dutch Kickboxer last night. Kyle tried some smart footwork and attempted to use angles but he clearly need more refinement and it appeared he hurted his right hand in the fight.

Thiago emerged a victor against Jimi in a potential Two Rounds FOTY – UFC did the right thing by opening a main card with this fight as both fighters threw bombs with reckless abandon, with Thiago making me a devoted fan by doing a Capoeira-ish Kick near the end of the first round. I hope this graceful kick will insipre strikers to use Panick Capoeira just like grapplers use Panick Wrestling in the near future lol. Jimi is not getting younger and this fight showed that he would probably never come close to the gold unfortunately, while Thiago continued his surge in LHW despite still displaying shades of chin issues in this fight. The upside is that there's probably going to be a lot of MWs migrating to this talent-lacking bareen of LHW.

Nunes' Bae outlasted Serial Gasser of Female SW – Apparantly Claudia turned up worse in this fight and gassed early and Nina's performance was sound, judging from the comments of the fight. If Claudia can't improve her cardio or change her style to accomodate her cardio shortcomings, I don't think she would be a contender again.Now with Nina's winning things could get interesting in Strawweight. By the way, what's going on with Rose? I hate to say this but she's quite stalling the division at this point with little to no update on her status.

Invicta Ringboy decisioned Anders in a typical Elias fight – How is he keep winning, if he is really shitty like people are claiming so? I guess it's time to take Elias seriously regardless of how crappy he looked (that kicking the air in front of Anders was hilarious), with his 8-2 record in UFC. It looks like the community took notice too and some started to get worried on the probability of him climbing the top 10 ladder in the near future. I can do nothing but hope for Anders to do well in his future fights.

That would be it and I hope you guys enjoy my amateur analysis and I will make my probable last thread on UFC 232 as UFC is moving to ESPN next year, a channel that we don't have here. Feel free to share your thoughts, be civil and cheers!!
