Griffin extremely lucky there, if Imadaev wasn't an idiot I think he wins there. Hell, he might've won if there was another round.

Griffin stole the third in that last minute. Got him the win.

OSP drained after 4 minutes. I mean he won the round but that's bad for the next 2 rounds.

How is nobody watching this? Stylebender/Gastelum is fight of the year caliber stuff!

Seriously. Easy 3-2 Israel, possibly with a 10-8 in the final round.

Super sick fight. I have it 3-2 rounds for Kelvin but that last round is probably a 10-8. I have it a draw.

What a fight. 3-2 Israel. Kelvin got round 1 and 4 but I thought it was pretty clear Israel won every other round and dominated 10-8 in the 5th. Complete war tho. Both guys come out looking like savages.

Was out and just got back for the final seconds of the 4th round so really only saw the 5th round. Stylebender looked really good. No idea how Kelvin survived that round.

Really impressed with Dustin, easily his best fight of his career. I thought Max was the more technical striker but just to show you how stacked the 155lb division actually is.

Max doesn't have the power for the elite in this division. Plus Poirier is a big 155.

That said, Poirier ain't doing **** against Khabib. Khabib is a monster.

I felt Poirier took it to another level his last few fights. At the time when Khabib won the belt i thought Poirier should have got the next title fight then but Conor came in and jumped the line. Legit happy for him and excited for his next fight.

2017: Pettis

All for an interim belt and the right to face Khabib. Gratz.

Overall the card was decent, but that might've been the best two back to back fights I've ever seen.

Those were 2 great fights back to back. The other one that I can think of was Lawler/MacDonald and Conor/Mendes.

Amazing fights!

But if khabib abuses Barboza and Mcgregor like he did, i cant see Dustin winning. I hope so though!

Macdonald, of Bellator's biggest signings, goes into the WW tournament, can't beat a 41 year old Fitch in an awful fight, gets advanced in tournament cause he is champ and then in his post fight speech basically says "I don't want to do this anymore."

Have fun promoting the next round of your tournament Bellator, lol. They must not be feeling super stoked about Rory right now.

Daniel Cormier vs. Stipe Miocic heavyweight title rematch is in the works for an Aug. 17

Looks like his waiting paid off.

It paid off but really he got lucky as hell that Brock decided to retire.

I'm torn about the Brock vs Cormier fight not happening. I would have loved to see that fight when Brock was at his best...Cormier would have been a sizeable favorite but Brock brings size, strength, and athleticism that is hard to combat. Unfortunately, Brock was never going to be at his best again without roids. He lost a lot of muscle mass in the past year getting clean. I'm glad he's retired because it probably would not have been competitive at all.

Stipe vs Cormier is a great fight (regardless of how the last one ended). Sucks for DC because he'll get paid way less to face a much tougher matchup. Great for the integrity of the sport though.
