I'd have deducted a point or DQ'd Ferguson. Cerrone's nose looked crooked after that punch landed well after the bell. How do you give a strong warning, instead of deducting a point? That was a blatant. Ruthless KO by Shenchenko. It didn't seem like they belonged in the cage together. Was that the #1 contender?
I don’t think the Ferg late-hit was intentional. Hate that it ended that way. Was shaping to a FOTN candidate. Valentina’s KO was a jaw-dropper. Was hoping she’d remember to throw that jaunty little Cossack-fling at us(Woof!) Cejudo is the real deal. Losing on the outside, he adjusted and delivered the beat down against a damn good fighter.
Could deduct a point, but no way DQ. Cerrone got beat up in the 2nd, blew his nose and his eye completely shot. Fair TKO win for Ferguson. Now White wants to run it back - **** OFF. Ferguson needs to get that shot next late december vs winner of Khabib and Poirier. He doesn't need to the risk of losing, he deserves the title shot NOW. Shevchenko is the best WMMA fighter p4p. But the division are lacking talent. Eye is a below average female UFC fighter, still n1 contender. The talent are mainly in 115lb and a bit talent in 135 aswell. Take Joanna out of the picture, Shevchenko alone are 10 times more talented than the rest of the ranked fighters in 125lb combined. Cringe Cejudo is the man. He's really proving himself. His cockiness already rised to another level...
take it Ferguson won then?as I expected as Ferguson is a truly great fighter.Love to see him and Khabib finally.
Agreed that Ferguson's next fight should be for the belt. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that his late punch wasn't intentional. On the other hand, I must admit that this could be because we're a bit to naive because that was VERY late. Awesome ko by Shevchenko. She's leagues ahead of everyone else at flyweight. Is that because she's so good or because the others are so bad? A bit of both, but more of the former than the latter imo. Plus it's a new-ish division and needs time to grow. After that first round I didn't think Cejudo would survive all those leg kicks. But he's the man and found a way.
It wouldn't be helping his state of mind long term I woulda thought, blows to the head when he has mental issues don't sound right
Cowboy produced an impressive performance again LaQuinta so it was kinda disappointing to see him get bust up that badly. Tony is a horror to fight and woud beat anybody apart from Kabib. But if he can avoid the takedown , he could beat Kabib as well. VS scored a brutal ko. Stiffened out , feet curled in , eyes rolled back... it was savage. Rogan said shes one of the most skilled martial artist in MMA , both in the mens and and womens divisions and he's definitely right. She's one of if not the best female champ ever. Female boxers look like cavewomen compared to her
