So that was UFC 300. Fantastic card from start to finish. Some real iconic moments. We got a little bit of everything. Easily best card of the year and I don't see anything topping it with the way the UFC plans their cards out nowadays.
I hope Pereira ends up on that UFC 301 Brazil card next month. Even if it's against some random jobber. Throw him in there with like Jake Collier or Martin Buday or something.
Max Holloway is one of the greatest fighters this sport has ever had and when you tell the history of the sport, he's one of the guys you'll have to bring up. Even without the featherweight title, he is just showing up and putting on classics. He's legit getting better. What he did to Gaethje is one of the best performances we've seen in the sport and that finish is going to go down as possibly the coldest moment MMA has ever produced. Just a really special fighter. A fight with either Topuria or Makhachev is warranted. He's earned it.
I hope that fight pumps the breaks on Weili Zhang's flyweight prospects. I really hope how badly she got beat up on the feet doesn't get swept away to fatigue and the go back and retool her striking. I really want to see her against Tatiana Suarez.
I feel for Tsarukyan. With Poirier apprently next in line and Holloway doing what he did to Gaethje, he might be getting passed over despite being the LW that has given Makhachev his toughest fight outside of Martins.
Kayla Harrison is going to be women's bantamweight champion before 2024 is up if she's able to keep making weight. She's too uniquely skilled and physically imposing not to run through 135lbs.
I know Do Bronx lost, but great night for Brazil. Diego Lopes and Renato Moicano picked up big top ten wins. Not sure if they're contenders quite yet but they are both in line for big fights next. Plus Figs established himself as a person of interest at 135lbs.
sucks Jim lost but I like Bobby Green so I'm happy he looked as good as he did.
Way too much "talented striker can't stop the wrestling/grappling of his/her opponent" on this one. Yan, Turner, Rodriguez a little bit, and Kattar. It wasn't even just that the other person was better, they all looked just confused when the fight hit the mat. Odd.
