Apparently Anthony Smith's corner and the referee were poor in letting the fight go on as it did, I haven't seen it myself. Did see a clip of Teixeira apologising to Smith whilst having his back. I did read that they're both good friends and two of the nicest people in the UFC.
Does anyone follow Ariel Helwani on Instagram? Some of the exchanges he has with DC are hilarious.
Some shocking judging tonight
Totally agree. Absolutely appalling judging. Barboza, Hill, Elkins and Vera were all robbed by the judges, Dana White needs to sort this out, and quick, because it is ruining the sport.
Jones is giving up his LHW belt apparently
He wants more money, probably to help pay his fines
I agree, there are much more exciting fighters out there than Jones. His record is incredible but so is Khabibs. I still prefer watching the likes of Conor, Diaz and Mazvidal fight. The main concern is having another title vacated though. It's all a bit of a mess at the moment in regards to titles.Can't say I care a great deal about Jones to be honest. His last few fights haven't been the greatest, he looks like he's going out there to just do what is enough as opposed to going to kill which is fine as who am I to judge when they're out there risking their health but yeah, it means I don't massively mind not seeing him fight. There are quite a few potential fights that I would like to see more than Jones vs anyone, especially in the welterweight division. Miocic and DC I'd like to see again as well actually.
