That event was so good. Definitely lived up to the UFC 300 title. Some very memorable fights and finishes.
Since it looks like Stipe already turned down the fight with Aspinall, Alex vs Aspinall in Brazil would be a huge fight. It'd be weird seeing an interim belt up for grabs, but not like they have a ton of options with Jones still out. This was a great card, overall; would've been perfect had they switched the Bo Nickal fight with Jiri vs Rakic.
If you lose focus for any reason in the middle of a championship fight, that's kinda' on you.
After looking at replay, yeah alex gonna found that uppercut 3, 5 or 10 minute later lol. poor technique
Sadly, not gonna fly in an organization that thinks $12k + $12k is a fair wage for people risking long term damage and CTE.
Getting kicked in the dick didn't make Pereira lose focus lol, no excuse for Hill
Had a feeling Max would show up big time but wow man, definitely didn't think he show up like that
Yeah it seems like almost everybody thought Gaethje was going to destroy Holloway's legs and then knock him out. Turns out Holloway just knocks him out by the end of the 5th round.

Best part is that we didn't have to go through fake crass attention grabby trash talk. We just had 2 great fighters go at it.
MMA deserves better fans and owners. Connor and Chandler will be full carny

Long as they keep Alex away from any grapplers he will do well.

If this ever happens, he'll last longer than the last pro-wrestler UFC decided to hype up.
Kind of relevant, but obviously due to the merger with WWE, were there any wrestlers that attended 300?
Part of my issue with everyone rushing to crown Alex is that UFC is keeping him away from a whole subset of fighters who would drag him to the ground and submit him in a round. (Also, Du Plessis is a kickboxing world champion so I'm not sure Alex wants any part of him either). Like this works as long as you have stand up fighters, but the second he deals with jones or Miocic or any of the good wrestlers? It's gonna be baaaaad.
Pereira has been protected to an extent, but his booking has also been symptomatic of middleweight and light heavyweight being light on in terms of quality wrestlers. And what does Du Plessis being a WAKO gold medalist have to do with anything? Pereira is one of the most accomplished kickboxers of all time.
I'm honestly not too concerned for Pereira on that front, working with Glover was a pretty inspired choice and he now knows enough to at least survive on the bottom.
Jon/Stipe aren't going to stick around long enough to fight him, fighters are going to continue to underwrite his glory/kb credentials and when it actually comes to fighting someone who can wrestle I think his worst case will be being ground out over 5 rounds. If it's a permanent move for him I don't doubt he'd fill out his frame a fair amount too.

It's also worth mentioning that people expected Jan and Jiri to just take him down and submit him and he won both of those fights comfortably. Neither of those guys are amazing grapplers, but they should've been able to tap Pereira if he's as much of a novice as people make out.
Isn't Jones' thing fighting people on their terms? I don't think he'd wrestle with Alex, he'd try to beat him on his feet
