    What a demolition job that was from Periera, that was totally unexpected.

    Both guys are huge for light heavyweight.

    I'm the only one that thought that was a bad stoppage? Seemed like almost everything was hitting the arms. But can't find a replay yet. Only thing is Ank didn't complain so maybe it wasn't as bad as it seemed. But to me looked like barely anything was getting through

    Jiri you gotta let that third fight go dude, respectfully of course. Jiri’s the no. 2 guy, I’d like to see him fight Ank next and have Alex fight Ulberg or move up.

    I thought ref could have let it go but Pereira was not going to stop dropping them elbows. It takes less energy than throwing a punch. Ankalaev didn't complain cause I think he was hurt and knew it was just a matter of time them elbows knocks him out cold. He also didn't give ref any choice by just curling up, in a dominated position, taking punches.

    I'd prefer Alex vs Ulberg.

    Jiri is just too hittable; he'll never beat Alex if they fight a thousand times.

    Ulberg is at least a new opponent and has power and good form.

    Really good card that. It’s amazing how a main event early knockout can complete a card as opposed to a 5 round, dull decision can do the exact opposite.

    No early stoppage for me, no complaints from Ankalaev either, which is all you need to know. Dude was visibly stunned and wobbled and you could hardly say he was defending himself.

    Look how easily he got pushed over and little resistance he showed. That elbow that got through to the ribs might well have broke them.

    Just watched back and counted. 30 unanswered strikes on the floor. Na, early stoppage is a cope.
