The Fight Pass prelims of this card are the hidden gem. There's a lot of talent between Markus Perez, Ramazan Emeev, Alberto Mina, and Warlley Alves. And the match-ups are competitive. That could it's own Fight Pass special main card.

As far as the main card and tv prelims, only Jacare-Gastelum and Kelleher-Lineker are grabbing me. Elizeu Capoeira vs. Sean Strickland ain't bad on the tv prelims. But it's worse than FP.

Incredible heart by Hermansson. Broke a rib, had a jacked knee too I think, desperately tried to finish as a result, and even after burning out his arms on a speculative guillotine where he didn't have guard, gets out of a choke himself and then proceeds to mount no slouch on the ground in Leites and pound him out. I would have advised him to quit after he couldn't get the guillotine and then was in the choke because that's a lot better way to lose when you're tired/injured than getting pounded mercilessly. As Goldie would have said OUT-STANDING.

Olynisky is absurd.

Roberson looked out in the eyes before the choke was even on. Way too lackadaisical there. Didn't block the legs on the step across attempt for the arm triangle even though that wasn't exactly a quick transition. Not much he could have done at that point. Answering the phone and grabbing the leg half assed attempts to create enough space. Went out like a light. Was worried for a bit because the ref missed it initially and then Mutante didn't relent immediately.

Wow! What a front kick by Machida! Jimmy said he distracted him with the lead leg, but I think Belfort responded to the punch fake. Vitor attempted to parry and that opened up the shot right down the middle. Belfort was out cold, bro. He's (Machida) still got it!

Fun fight between Kelleher and Lineker, as expected.

Lineker loves this game.

Kelleher hanging in there and throwing dangerous counters. But where's your uppercuts against the shorter fighter, Brian? And I'd like to see push kicks so he doesn't get crowded and can lead the dance.

Unless it's at least for a #1 contender spot, UFC fighters would be smart to be more like Yair and refuse the fight.

Pick on somebody your own size. Fighters who've missed weight by more than a few pounds have won the last 7 fights or something like that. At this stage in the game where fighters aren't so one-dimensional, it is the deciding factor usually.

Another brutal finish by a fighter who missed weight over their opponent who actually went through with the cut. Seems like a pattern.

Touching moment here though with Dern sharing the shine with her fellow Brazilians.

This has been a great card from top to bottom so far, and now we're just getting to the co-main... Can't wait!
