Blaydes can get Aspinall or Tuivasa then Interim if he wins right? He shouldn’t have been ranked ahead of Lewis after getting slept by him. I know with his wrestling ability he will be a nightmare matchup for a relatively new MMA fighter such as Gane and truthfully that will slot him for Francis if he were to resign. But he shouldn’t get to skip Aspinall or Tuivasa when he was slept by Lewis and beat the guy who was also slept by Lewis.
I’m certain the lack of energy outside of Matt Brown is going to cancel a lot of “local” fight nights and outside of Global fight nights we’re going to be witnessing a lot of “Dana White’s Saturday Night Contenders.” With them adding more seating the writings on the wall.
It’s so crazy to me that the UFC can go from such a heavy-hitting Fight Night in London being their first one back in Europe, to a Fight Night in Ohio first one out of the Apex with two cards not even in the same stratosphere in terms of name value and appeal. They could’ve honored Stripe’s legacy and let him headline one more hometown sell out.
But! I digress because the UFC will still pull 5x in all metrics against all promotional competition.
One thing that consistently blows my mind is the production quality and consistency of the UFC. There's an unfathomable amount of coordination behind this company, especially one that puts on shows in major venues as often as they do. It's crazy

Wow
Wow
After watching this main event package, Blades is losing.
Joanne should’ve never took that fight while she was waiting for title :(
Great performance from Grasso
Oh man. Wish the outcome would've been different for Joanne. But Grasso looked good
Joanne changed her name, "called her Wood". Not great but it's there

Happy birthday Jaclyn 🎂
Just give them a tie, you know? No one is a loser there, no one. I love this so much :)
Unbelievable!!! Glad that wasn’t in the apex.
Wow
What a fight
Wow
What a lovely person Kai seems like :)
Really wish this was a 5 rounder though what a great fight
I had Kai money wise and that decision was not it
KKF won that fight.
This fight should have been the main event (Askarov/Kara-France). No one needs 25 minutes of Blaydes and Daukas.
Push him off at the end of the round, gross. I know it's a fight but have some tact man
This is some high level grappling, wow
Oh man. Happy for McCann. She needed this.
Ugh, McMann's knees look sooo painful. What an absolute beast
Crazy that someone that talented is unranked, wow
Wow. DANAA looked great until the last 5 seconds. Great for Gutierrez! What a turnaround!

Looking foward to seeing DANAA fight 😊
Pretty much Everyone is currently booked in female flyweight; not sure who Manon will be fighting next.
One thing that consistently blows my mind is the production quality and consistency of the UFC. There's an unfathomable amount of coordination behind this company, especially one that puts on shows in major venues as often as they do. It's crazy
Really looking forward to this Jennifer/Manon fight :)
doing a gr chat now
I love Saldana! Great decision 👊🏻
I swear we can't go 1 UFC card where the crowd chants USA lmao so cringe
Hope everyone enjoys the fights!
should be a fun main card
Y’all see Diaz wants to be released? Ariel, what’s going on?
