UFC really did Calgary a solid with this card to make up for the previous disaster. Good on them.

Puts the UFC 224 card to shame. Those are some damn good fights to watch for free.

This is a stacked card that probably puts the majority of PPVs from this year to shame. Hell Im even excited for the opening fight on the main card. Mercier usually has fun fights and the Hernandez kid is the kid that slept Dariush in under a minute a few months back. All 4 fights should be very entertaining. This is the type of card where I wouldnt be shocked if we got 2 fight of the year type of fights in it.

Oh good Makdessi won, probably get a performance bonus too. I'm sure he will use it to pay back all the fighters he screwed over. Should be on the douchebag list.

That was such a vintage and vicious body shot from Aldo. One of my favourite type of strike to land. Admittedly I thought Aldo was done, but respect for taking out a warrior in Stephens.

That was a vicious body shot. Felt like it was a pretty early stoppage though. It did look like Stephens was starting to gas already though.

Ya a pretty rough night. I'm a big fan of Goddard, but man I haven't seen a ref so eager to stand up fighters than Goddard tonight for a long time.

That was one of the most brutal body punches I ever saw, at any weight.

He finished it off that time! You thought Eddie would come back because of what happened in the first fight, Eddie's history, and Dustin gassing from those chokes. He probably had to gamble because he wouldn't have energy late in the fight. But to still have it there, that's cardio and heart. Poirier has improved a lot over the years. He's always had the talent. Thought several years ago he'd eventually be a titlist at fw. But technique is tighter and timing is better. There countered right down the middle and then got after it.

Gained somewhat of an affinity now for Aldo. Made that douche quit with that vicious left hook to the body. On paper Stephens had a power advantage. Surprising Aldo won a firefight. Thought he'd win a technical bout with speed. Still has something left after all the wars between the desire and explosiveness.

I'd be cool with an Eddie vs Dustin fight every year. You just know you're going to get a brawl with these two.

Lol wtf is Eddie doing? Whatever. Fitting he lost due to another illegal strike (we will let both fighters fence grabs cancel each other out I guess).
