Valdez vs Frevola was one of the wildest rounds of the year. For those who haven't seen it, Valdez' fight on DWCS was just as good.

Maddalena looked like a stud on DWCS, and looked just as good last night as he absolutely outclassed his opponent. Guy has serious title challenger potential.

Victor Henry showed once again that the guys fighting over in Japan are just as good as the guys in the UFC. Absolutely incredible performance and upset. I can't remember a UFC debutant looking that good against an established veteran since Kattar vs Fili.

I mean, Jiri Prochazka KO'd top 5-7 opponents viciously in his debut fights.
 
Henry was my 2nd biggest bet of the night, couldn’t pass up those odds. Raoni is very overrated IMO.

I also thought Demopoulos' textbook underhooking of the leg to transition into a better arm position was good.

Just because Rogan says something doesn't make it true. There are many ways to play that position. Demopoulos' setup (and recovery after the knockdown) was more impressive than the pendulum transition.
 
Yeah that round in Valdez / Frevola was an amazing roller coater.

Henry's performance blew me away. Great UFC debut. Hard fought and he stayed calm cool & collected.

Aww bless him hopefully that will be sorted out in time!

Dogs are great man.

They're the best.

Although, they got this dog from a breeder.

I'm concerned about long term health issues.

What dogs you got?

I have a border collie kelpie cross named Bella. She’s an old girl about 18 but still plodding along although I fear she may not have much more time left.

In any case I wish your dog a long and healthy life!

Prochazka came in with a ton of hype though as the Rizin champ. Henry was on few people's radar and Barcelos was expected to outclass him.
 
Victor Henry was absolutely awesome, I don't for one second have him down as dominant future champion, but he's sti a great addition at 135 and could easily crack the top 5.

Said Nurmagomedov was flawless, just absolutely superb. I hope they keep Cody Stamann and put him against Davey Grant, but Said needs to go to war as often as possible! What a stud.

Michel Pereira overcame a real test in Fialho, again, two guys I want to see as active as possible.

Frevola is a ton of fun too I'm glad he won in impressive fashion.

Madallena did his job but there's not much to read into that against a 4-0 guy in the wrong weight class on short notice. Still promising though

Maddelena looks real promising.

I had caught wind of him on The Weasel YT channel, really hyping him up as a guy to watch and damn, dude delivered. Seemed very composed for an octagon debut too.

Happy to see new talent!

18!!!! That's awesome!
 
Frevola/Valdez was bonkers. Valdez has a chin on him. Dude took a brutal beating and kept coming back. Thought the stoppage was late though and Valdez got the damage of 5 fights in under a round.

Was happy seeing Henry get a win in the UFC. He is a very talented fighter and has been around for a while now.

18. Damn, you have done good as a dog parent!

I think my golden mutts were about 16 & 13 or so when they passed and I was pretty proud to have given my dogs a great run.

Take care of her and enjoy the time you have.
