Yeah that's bizarre, looks like they're just pretending nothings wrong. I guess if he's naturally schizo and they're certain it's not caused/affected by head trauma it's kind of defensible but that seems really unlikely. They should also get him away from Eddie Bravo, listening to him can't be good for anyone losing touch with reality. Also wtf at that fight being 3rd on the billing. Easily the most interesting fight there.

He has been having mental problems since TUF, i don't think it's due to head trauma that he's having these mental health problems.

This fight card is pretty legit, i hope Valentina takes out Eye quickly so i can watch the main event and be done with my day, anything else is a waste of everyone's time.

yeah sucks it is 3rd on the billing because now it has to be a 3 rounder.

Cowboy feels like a bad matchup for Ferguson, gonna be a fight that mostly takes place on the feet and Ferguson is pretty chinny at this point as we saw with Pettis.

I like Moraes as well, think Cejudo caught Johnson/Dillashaw at the right time and Moraes is just better than him at 135. See that being mostly standup too.

Not really confident in either opinion though. Didn't bet it or anything.

Feel bad for Cowboy. He was on a great run and took such a hard fight like 5 weeks after going 5 rounds.

Two of my favorite fighters. I've been of the opinion that Tony is the best at 155 for years and he made a seemingly bad matchup look easy.

If he wants to stay active then he's probably gonna need to take another fight before the Khabib fight.

Not sure who he could fight next.....Gaethje would atleast be entertaining.

What a KO by Valentina. I know Eye was a huge dog, but Jesus.

Next fight is interesting. I like Moraes but I feel like Cejudo is going to wrestle right through him.

This looks like a 125er vs a 145er

Marlon looks out sitting the bench. His eyes are all over the place.

Cejudo is a monster, cringe or not stop hating, the man is one of the best fighters in the UFC. I hope Cejudo tries to go for a third belt and take on Max at 145, i think he can do it.

Who's hating?
Going up to Max would be tough though. He looked small tonight and he isn't going to grow taller at 145. Maraes ran into some cardio issues that wouldn't impact Holloway.

Cejudo callout was funny. Don't blame him or anything since those are the 3 most known guys in the division and he wants to start getting paid.

But he called out a guy that hasn't fought in 2.5 years in Cruz, a guy that is retired in Faber and a guy off 3 losses in Garbrandt.

He gassed but I think that was mainly due to Cejudo's pace and ability to duck the big shots. Cejudo did a good job of being careful the 1st round and then put an unbearable pace on him after Marlin's power and cardio dropped off.

I didn't even know Munhoz was fighting tonight, he lost? damn

My first thought after Cejudo won was "Maybe the guy that KO'd Garbrandt gets the next title shot", guess not.

But yeah, 135 is pretty thin in terms of names to put in there.

Is 125 officially done, have there even been any fights there since the Cejudo/Dillashaw fight?

Munhoz fight was great. Sterling looked the best he ever has on the feet (landed at 58% iirc), but Munhoz hit him with some serious shots every round.

Maybe was FOTN along with Blagoy and Tuivasa.

Yan and Rivera was a good fight too.
