    This reminded me of Holm v Rousey in some ways, Aljo is a one trick pony like Rousey with bad stand up, Sean has one punch KO power though which lifts this match up to a higher level.

    Brad Tavares has always just been a gatekeeper type middleweight in the ufc over the last 10 yrs or so and he completely schooled and embarrassed Weidman. Brad Tavares is not and has never been a top fighter. I have always just considered him a decent ufc fighter, nothing special at all. He wins some he loses some in the ufc. By Weidman continue to keep fighting I regard him as just a can in the ufc. Weidman is now just a bottom level ufc middleweight.

    Can I just say that Ian Garry is an ATG cringe weirdo and POS. That virtue-signalling way over the top cringefest reaction to ''scumbag'' Neil Magny's tongue in cheek comment was utterly embarrassing and the way he treat him when he was administering ''justice'' to him was disgusting. Cringe Conor wannabe cuck weirdo.

    Yeah I also thought he came across as a douchebag the way he treated Magny who seems to be a class act generally.

    Garry is trying way to hard to be the next Irish larrikan big mouth star following on from Conor etc. I think he's putting on all this talk and bravado to be another Conor. Garry has looked very good on the feet so far BUT he was very very reluctant to follow a badly hurt Magny to the ground to follow up attacks which makes me think his ground fighting game will probably be sub par. Fights against very good stand up fighters Wonderboy or Maddalena would be awesome imo but I would like to see him against guys such as Brady or Burns who can possibly expose his ability on the ground. Just watch the UFC give him pure strikers to build up another big Irish star.

    If you think that’s wild, you should get a load of the current bantamweight champion who once offered up his wife to a teammate of his.
