First I wanna say that overall it was a great card with some fantastic matchups. This is my recap for some of the fights on the card

main event: Jan and izzy both looked fantastic. Jan should fight glover or maybe even Rakic next. Izzy should definitely go back too middleweight and fight the no 1 contender by year end. Both guys have tremendous sportsmanship and Izzy was humble in defeat.

co main: Nunes is an absolute goat and let’s be honest we all knew she would steamroll Anderson. It wasn’t even close and Anderson should not of been in there at all with the goat. Nunes should fight Valentina next at 135 too solidify the wmma goat.

third: what a fantastic fight. Despite yan throwing an illegal strike, he looked like a complete fighter. Sterling fought well in the beginning but it would of probably been a 50-45, 50-45, 49-46 for yan if not a tko finish. Sterling was definitely hurt but more so was exhausted and should consider acting as his next career (lol). What’s next should be a rematch and on the same card should be tj vs sandman co main.

fourth: Islam looked great especially being off for almost two years. Dober is a good guy and tried his best. Islam should fight a top 5 guy and dober should fight someone 15-20 ranked

Other notes: benevidez is a warrior but I think maybe one more fight to go off on a win or consider retiring now as title contention is out of the picture for him and they will use him as a gatekeeper. Cruz won but it was so close and I don’t see him contending for a belt anytime soon. He could retire as he technically won the fight and stick too commentary. Kennedy and Brady are two prospects to watch as they have a lot of potential.
 
Just give Yan the title and call it a day.

Sterling literally held up the division for another 6 months with his crocodile tears and paper belt antics.

Not too badly necessarily, is there anyone other than Sandhagen who Sterling beat fairly recently that's making a lot of noise to be in line for the next shot? Let Yan and Sterling run it back and give Sandhagen TJ. Winners of both fights face off, throw in Aldo and Garbrandt squaring off and you've got most of the upper echelons in the rankings booked, bar Font.
 
Prelims were much better than a main card. Rakic shifted the tide with pssy appearance, Stirling gave everyone a lesson in acting for ages, Megan was a waste of slot and Izzy was so-so. Its self fulfiling prophecy whenn you expect much, things don't happen.

Tbf don't know why you're not appointing an equal if not greater portion of the blame to Santos, guy was losing and still did absolutely fecking nothing. Rakic shouldn't get off easy mind you but Santos looked like those surgeries on his legs finally caught up to him.

yep exactly. The division is so stacked they can do a mini tournament. Main event the rematch. Co main tj sandman. Third fight Cody vs font. Fourth fight Aldo vs munhoz.
