I thought it was a pretty good card , Mousasi impressed , Northcutt getting better , Gastelum and Hendricks was a decent tilt, Velasquez got a decent win . Aldo beat up Edgar in a good fight . Cormier vs Silva was ok , basically Cormier pinned down Silva for most of the fight , Silva ain't quite dead yet . Lesnar is back after several years away in a good win over Hunt . Amanda Nunes gained the most in defeating Tate in an impressive win to get the Bantamweight belt . She won't be easy to beat at that weight , very effective striking . Pretty good night for UFC fans
Spot on.:good Tate's standup has always been awful. She wins her fights on heart and a decent grabbling game.
Very poor card indeed. Highlights Aldo's performance against Edgar, and the performances of Mousasi and Lauzon on the undercard. Dillashaw/Assuncao wasn't bad either.
Aldo looked good , he dominated but he is vulnerable to strikes , if he rematches with McGregor I say he gets knocked out again
I'd be interested in an Aldo/ Mcgregor rematch because Aldo got caught cold so early in the first one that we didn't really get to see much. It is apparent that Mcgregor has serious cardio issues so I see Aldo fighting more conservatively to make the fight go into the championship rounds. Aldo looked stronger and faster than I've ever seen last Saturday.
As the champ at 145 win or lose against Nate at ufc 202 he simply will have to go down and defend his title against Aldo at 145 or he will have to give up the title. He can't have a 3rd fight outside the weightclass and still hold on to his title. That would be absolutely ridiculous. The problem for him at 155 is that I see quite a few of the top 10 beating him. He will win some and lose some. Nate Diaz in reality is probably not even top 10 at 155.
Remember this is the UFC you are talking about , they have no problem being ridiculous when it comes to matching fighters :yep
