Mike Perry v Tim Means was a really good and entertaining fight. Also a good win for Scotsman Paul Craig over Shogun.

256 is a calamity right now. Sterling/Yan is off. UFC might just want to move Figureido/Moreno to 12/19 and make that fight night card UFC 256 and just book multiple fights for a fight night on the original date.

Tony Ferguson v Charles Oliveira at UFC 256 (December 12), that should be a really good one.

Chimaev v Leon Edwards, December 19th

Was looking forward to it, but Edwards has tested positive for Covid-19.

They will probably rebook it in early 2021 though.

Fantastic main event last night between Vettori and Hermansson. Especially Vettori was very impressive imo.

Holland is a great entertainer. Dana has a potential star on his hands with him.

Ferguson’s finished at this level. He’s just done. 30-26 for Oliveira was the only score possible there. Oliviera is coming into his prime. He’s the next one in the lightweight division. Utter dominance start to finish. Almost had an arm bar submission round 1 but Tony was saved by the bell.

Khabib would have absolutely steamrolled Tony. 30-24 probably. Wouldnt have even been a fight. Jesus.

Figureido got very frustrated and dolled out a HARD groin kick with a point deduction. Bad.

Great fight though.

Chimaev is out of the fight. No one knows why yet. Edwards wants to stay on the card and has called out masvidal but mas don't want it. After all that 3 piece and soda crap and he won't fight leon.

Most likely Chimaev is injured or could be the fact he was saying he was going to slap the shit of out McGregor if he saw him.

Dan Hooker is going to murder him

Maybe a bit naive, but I really believed that his fight against Gaethje was his last fight, now it looks like he will go for that 30-0.

Oh shit I wonder what the numbers Dana is throwing at him behind that door and how much he wants to fight McGregor

How is kattar still standing. Holloway has smashed him

Holloway looked very good and sharp tonight. Was hoping for a closer fight though.
