So I left the house after the Stewart comeback to go watch with others and got there to see the result and replay of the finish of the Sterling fight. Nice finish but what a ****. They told me about the Neal finish and I saw a Twitter GIF but when I watched the replay this morning; Holy ****! Neal was absolutely robbed of a bonus check. 

Suarez will be the betting favorite in her next fight no matter the opponent. Best performance of the night.

Terrible decision-making by Price. Pretty KO combo.

Is it wrong of me to want to see Zabit vs. Aljamain since they both used the Suloev stretch? 

I think Rose can sub Andrade but Andrade will be the favorite and understandably so.

I just wasn't as impressed by Woodley's performance as everyone else. It was his best performance no doubt but it still came in a very defensively safe way that leaves me with more questions than it answers.

Zabit vs Aljamain would be fun, however i see Rose being able to beat Andrade and Suarez although Suarez offers a much more interesting fight imo. 
That being said Woodley dominated every facet of the fight, Till was still very much aware after the knockdown yet Tyrons pressure from postured up full guard was immense enough to pound Till almost into oblivion before mercifully sinking in a beautiful darce all the while earning his blackbelt after the fact he dropped a bigger supposedly better striker. This fight was exactly what Woodley needed and imo a very impressive performance.

Gotta say I ate my words with this one. I really thought Till was gonna take the belt but man woodley just mauled him. Never have really liked woodley much but I can say I'm not gonna doubt or pick against the guy against anyone in the Welterweight division any time soon. This might have been his best performance yet! Goodluck Colby Covington.

Gotta say, I was really happy with the womens fights.  All 3 were worth watching and deserved a place on this card.  I hope we get more of that in future.

I'm loving tipping against fighters I think are bad (Luke Sanders, Cody Stamann) and hope to continue my good run next week when I fade Johnson who I think is bad.

A little sad that the Darren Till game is over, but we get Woodley back where he needs to be, so good result.

Sanchez looked good in losing, Neal looks legit AF, Charles Byrd let me down but looked great for 7 minutes (hats of to the dentist). Andrade and Suarez put a stamp on things. Zabit took his time like always, that guy is never in a rush. Alhassan looked way too good for Price, just brutal.

Jim Miller looked full beast.  Can't belive I'm excited to see him fight again.  Yay for Diego.

And the fight of the night went to an excellent scrap as put on by Irene and Lucie.  What a happy surprise that was.  

Now that that is out of the way, does anybody have any idea what is going to happen this weekend?

Till Wasn't Ready To Grapple; The UFC Promoted Him Too Quickly

Predictions: 7 of 13 Winners, 1 Perfect, 375 Points   |   Tied for 1536th

Does anyone else think the main result pointed up Till's grappling inexperience, and the UFC's failure, yet again, to develop a star properly?  Till was done a disservice by his "meteoric rise," built of handpicked strikers.  He said he didn't even feel Woodley threatening the choke.  Feel it?  On the ground, with a brown belt, he should have expected it.

Shame on the UFC for developing a young under-dimensionally talented fighter too quickly.

The silver lining is that we got to see more of the champion's diverse toolkit in his masterful handling of Till.

Ufc is constantly doing that. I remeber dana white talking up ronda rousey like she was the greatest ever and could beat up guys. After the holm fight he was proud of his and the announcers propoganda because nobody realized holly holm would smoke her. Bet dana white bet big on holm for that one. Ufc equals one hype train after another and very few live up to the hype.
