I had spotty connection during most of the card while driving through the mountains, but some of the judge's decisions seemed absurd based on what I watched. Thought Aldo and Raquel got robbed.
Also, goes without saying but Poatan is the scariest dude alive right now. I can't wait to watch him move to HW and see if anyone can stop him. Kahlil landed some massive shots and still left the octagon looking like THAT. Dana and Hunter better give him any fight he wants after performing that against the face of the promotion.
I hope he gets to fight Aspinall just so he gets to fight one big name since Jon clearly won't fight him.
I like Poatan too because he’s definitely beatable so his wins just come off as more impressive to me somehow lol. Like he got KOed by Izzy and then just said “okay” and came back to dominate at LHW like it was nothing. He’s not some enigma with no holes in his game - he’s just a super deadly striker and the coldest dude in the UFC who doesn’t get rattled by anything.
Probably wants a better contract before facing ranked fighters I think O'Malley said the same thing, it's stupid to fight killers for pennies
Bo is on a 40/40 which I’m sure includes some extra but I don’t blame him. However, I don’t think he’s getting two more unranked guys after Craig. Beating Craig is probably gonna put him in the top 15
Poirier wants Gaethje in Louisana for his retirement fight. Sign me the hell up. Said he'd also consider fighting Nate at 170.
This Del Valle fight on the Contender Series might have been one of the craziest I’ve ever seen. Like, that might have been the most punishment I’ve seen someone take who acted like the weren’t even fazed lol. To put it into perspective, the other guy lost 30-26 on a scorecard but he’s still going to get praised to no end by Dana (who already gave them a standing ovation).
Very happy for Francis! Looked like a beast and he’s such a good dude. This PFL event is as a slog though. They are so bad at production and pacing.
