That's good to hear, it finally happened. Hope he goes back to doing commentary, I enjoyed his WEC run.

Johnson could've won that easily by staying on the outside and using footwork, he was right there for Justin to hit. He showed immense heart and a granite chin tho. Throw Gaethje in with Eddie Alvarez or Kevin Lee next. Conor is tied up, Nate is MIA, seems like they still plan on Khabib vs Ferguson, it makes the most sense.

Is Hooft still coaching Johnson? If so he might as pissed off as the AJ/Cormier fight.

Main event was a great fight . Gaethje was one of the few fighters in WSOF I actually looked forward to watching, cool to see him come over to the UFC with the same style. His chin is going to go eventually, but right now he is entertaining as hell to watch . Can't remember if Barbosa has a fight booked, but like that as a possible next match-up.

Klose calling all English fighters bums , no disrespect to Michael Bisping though

Tecia Torres getting the early sub

Forgot about Barbosa. That would be a fun fight.

smh tonys done enough for a title shot. if dana actually believes the bullshyt he spews about conor coming back this year, why not have tony wait it out. of course since conors running the show he is gonna ask for nate diaz 3. all this he talking about conor wanting khabib in russia all duck tales

 

[Strapped]

Overeem needs to retire asap

 

[BlackSuperman]

i wonder if they match him up with kevin lee.

WHY?! Kevin Lee got a BS sub victory against Chiesa, which is also his best win. Gaethje has been better than that guy. Justin needs to fight Barboza or Ferguson (who ironically have both lost to Johnson)

 

[BlackSuperman]

Dana threw a hissy fit over Yamasaki's decision, so there's a chance it'll happen

Poirier and Alvarez are talking shyt over their last fight so they might fight again.

I honestly don't care who Gaethje fights next, he's been pretty entertaining so far. Just let him have a break til December or January - those punches he took were vicious

I'd rather see Lee/Chiesa 2 than Kevin anywhere near Gaethje. Lee got knocked out by Leonardo Santos not too long ago. Justin KTFOs him inside of a round. Waste of everyone's time and Justin outranked him before he even got into the Octagon.
