Vinc is a tuff dude. Plenty of people would have realized is not their night and folded. A quick tko loss to end the fight. Not him it seems,  i really respect that.

I thought it could go to a decision, Bonfim is just a midget in the division and Pichel is tough and crafty. Didn't check the lines for it though, might have been something valuable there.

If anyone is saying Erceg has better BJJ than Pantoja then they have no idea about BJJ. No idea about anything in MMA. That's the opinion of someone who just stupid and uneducated. They are illiterate and their parents never sent them to school.

These people should stop watching fighting. They should go watch Womens Netball. 

This sport is not for them.

I can't believe they still have Erceg at #10, I thought for sure they would have worked their magic and he would have somehow climbed up to like #6 lol

For some reason I have Kareckaite by first round submission up here. That should be Barbosa... 🤦‍♂️

Personally I feel Pantoja is the best back taker in the history of the UFC

Another exemple of how easy brazilians fans forget you after a failure.

Predictions: 11 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 670 Points   |   Tied for 1650th

What Bonfim said in the beginning of his speech was " let me be honest with you guys i had a lot of nerves for this fight, people cussed at me and counted me out, don't let anyone say you can't do it". 

He goes on to talk about god and that he has a plan. Normal brazilian fighter stuff. Clearly alot to prove in this fight to himself. Hope to see him more relaxed and dangerous next fight.
