I don't remember any of it because I was talking through most of it, was shitfaced, and had the volume off so didn't have any pundits to help lead the way:
That Yan knee was absolutely outrageous. I felt like I saw Yan looking a bit angry beforehand and thought "if he was a rascal he could knee him here" and then boom, right in the kisser. Knew Sterling wasn't going to recover from that the second it hit. I still can't understand what Yan was thinking.
Nunes is both a testament to Women's MMA and also a testimony to the weakness of it. She is undoubtedly one of the greatest fighters I've ever seen, but there is no depth to any WMMA division once a truly brilliant fighter emerges. In fairness I suppose the same could be said about Khabib.
Glad Blachowicz held it, I saw he was the underdog and thought that wasn't paying respect to the quality of him as a fighter, not to mention the fact Izzy was seriously, seriously underweight. If you aren't cutting weight to get on that scale, Vs someone who has cut several pounds, you can be looking at almost a stone weight difference.
With Yan I can kind of see what Rogan was moaning about about a title being decided that way especially for Sterling, no one wants to win like that. But doing something that dumb Yan absolutely deserves to have the title taken from him.
Incredible card, Nunes is another level. I used to think that about Rousey so perhaps there is a secret somewhere! Jan deserved the decision.
Will be interest to see what happens with Yan, someone from his corner said just punches but someone said yes to the knee. All very strange, especially with his fist in the air as the decision was being read out.
Yan sterling will just have a rematch. Was just instinctive/unfortunate. glad blachowich won, israel getting on my tits, nunes unreal. makachev looking awesome. Prelims were great.

The judging on Saturday was especially questionable - there were about 4x 10-8 rounds given in the course of the night which is the most i've ever seen by a long way, a lot of the time I couldn't even tell you what for!
Joe getting a lot of stick for his bias again as well, although I couldn't hear his commentary due to my mate snoring so loudly through the video call
Yeah was enjoying that until the ending. Thought Bilal might have been pouring it on a bit but his eye looked a mess. So unfortunate. Edwards must feel cursed at the moment.
Luque handing Woodley his first submission loss ever - with a D'Arce, fantastic performance. With that being Woodley's last contracted fight, hard to see him not getting released.
Only watched the main card but that was great. I'm sad for Stipe, but fair play Ngannou worked on the things he got wrong in the first fight and fully deserved that.
I think Woodley is off to Bellator, he was unlucky to get stuck by the cage but his legs were done regardless. Takes some shine off of Colby which is a bonus!
Perfect performance from Francis, he'll be champion for a while with that takedown defense.

Also on perfect performance, anyone see Pimblett?
I think T wood knew his only hope of getting a new contract was to win and do it impressively. He should have gone into his previous fights with that same attitude and he might have more of a chance of wins/new contract. That said though he sucked the life out of that division for a while though I do have some sympathy that he wasn't necessarily given the respect he deserved of being a dominant champ.

They need to fight again, soon.

Genuinely fought a perfect fight and addressed all of his mistakes. If I'm Jon Jones I'm saying it was a prank and staying at 205
