Watched late last night, not a bad card overall (considering it will likely have some pretty poor buy rates)
Machida's KO - Wow hes still got it, not enough to beat the big boys anymore but he is capable of anything in his moment.
Belfort - Great career, like him or hate him hes lived and breathed the UFC for a long time
Lineker - Could see him getting a big fight (maybe even a title shot) with one or two more good wins, not necessarily based on merit alone but because he is exciting, unfortunately I cant see him getting a glove on Cody or TJ who look head and shoulders above the rest of the division
Dern - Yeh she won, she was expected to and she was 7 (or 8 if youre like me) pounds over, she hasn't done anything to impress me yet. Shes young and developing for sure, in reality she should probably move to 125, its thinner and it lacks a star, she could be it and she wouldn't have to worry about making weight
Gastelum - His chin cant hold up forever, good fight tight on the scorecards
Nunes - Won as expected, shes pretty scary and there doesn't seem to be much left for her at 135, she has no obligation to move though. Could be the first multiple title holder for Women in the UFC if she does.
Pennington - I can see both sides on "that" incident. As mentioned she likely never fights for a title again and you have to assume her team know her better than we do. Its a bad look but as with all sport its risk v reward, if she goes out in the fifth and lands a big shot and wins the title we laud the corner as geniuses. Theres no way around the way it looked and it adds to the barbaric way non fans look at the sport but with a second to breath and consider it I suspect we will know how she feels in the next few days
