Evloev is JACKED for a featherweight

Great fight to start the main card.

Strong performances on this card so far. I wasn’t too hyped for this event on paper, but it’s looking good!

Sorry I got the thread up a little late. Enjoy the fights!

Damn, what an upset. Never thought Magny would win over Malott.

Thanks to those that participated in the live thread and the quiet ones that upvoted the finishes. Hopefully we have more traffic in the live threads as we approach UFC 300. We have some awesome fights to look forward to over the next two months. Hope to see you all for the next one!

Great first fight.

That was a BEATdown, Cachoiera wasn’t ready
- Such a frustrating third round...

Strickland has a nice jab. DDP looks awkward as always, but he’s dangerous. We know Strickland can maintain his pace. Not sure about DDP’s gas tank. Interesting fight.
- If DDP connects solidly, this might be all over.
  
  We need a finish. 297 started strong and then fizzled once we got past the prelims.

Tough fight to score. Flip a coin.

I think DDP needs to threaten some more takedowns and mix up his strikes a bit.

Damn DDP got his second wind. Sean looks cooked.

I was expecting a slobberknocker but this was much more calculating by both fighters.

DDP! DDP! DDP!
- Wish both of them mixed it up a bit more. Dricus looks goofy AF out there, but he always finds a W.

Of all the women’s bantamweight title fights in the UFC, that was one of them.
- Agreed. I miss Nunes.
  
  Me too. Doesn’t look to be much talent at that level on the horizon, unfortunately. I’m dreading Pennington vs. Pena.

Kind of a snoozer fight except for the last two minutes.

Pennington definitely earned that one. Bueno Silva had some great submission chances but she got outclassed.

Finish streak continues!
