You missed the biggest one: Taila Santos

She came in the +600 underdog and showed she was physically stronger than Valentina. It's doubly impressive considering that Valentina dominated Andrade who is known for her strength.

The only person who could beat Valentina in physical strength up until today was Nunes who is likely 15-20 lbs heavier. Santos is pound-for-pound maybe the strongest woman on the roster right now

 

[Ares Black]

Santos' stock skyrocketed, even in a loss.
Zhang looked incredible.
Glover and Jiri put in a fight for the ages.

The UFC and MMA.

This card was supposed to be underwhelming. Instead, it was the card of the year. Phenomenal performances from countless fighters in tough matchups. That's why MMA is better than boxing as a whole - the entire card has worth and more than one fight matters. I love boxing and when it's on its on, but MMA is just on another level with match making quality and no one ducking each other.

To me Jiri's stock fell, I was expecting him to ko Glover. Instead he went to war with a 42 year old got mounted like 4 times, dropped, and was 30 seconds away from losing.

 

[BigDramaShow26]

Santos for sure. She was a huge underdog. Val has never looked beatable at 125 until tonight.

I thought Culibaou and Mathews would win but they performed well as underdogs.

 

[Eiger]

Taila Santos as mentioned above, but the first name that popped in my head was Jake Matthews. Fialho-Matthews was my 2nd most anticipated fight tonight, trailing only the main event. I wanted to see what Jake would look like after a year off, and he delivered big time. Celtic Kid v2.0.

 

[TheGreatA]

Jake Matthews.

 

[Dude Incredible]

All stocks rose. Who impressed me the most? Not even worth thinking about, just floating the bliss of violence that was this night.

 

[Methodius]

Jiri impressed me with his ground game but expected more from stand up so its kind of a toss up.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Matthews looked phenomenal, beat a boxer at his own game.

Weili highlight reel KO retired Joanna and sets herself up with a very winnable title fight vs Carla

Jiri just won another crazy fight, one of the best fights of all time, and for the title, no less

 

[markantony20]

I think JDM is going places in the WW division.


I’m impressed with his submission defence and slick boxing.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Weili's wrestling and Santos dominance on the ground.

Jiri on paper should've beat Glover without too many issues

We already this about Glover.

 

[YungSithLxrd]

Weili really beat Joanna's ass before the KO. Was fake ragdolling her too. Didn't see that coming at all

 

[Shay Brennan]

Honestly Glover.
I didn't expect him to be able to withstand one of the best KO artists of all time like he did.
The chin on that guy.

 

[LetThemBleed]

Toss up between Matthews and Della Maddalena. JDM is going to be a problem for a lot of people at WW if he can get his wrestling defense on point. Should go and train at Whittaker's camp to get that elite level TDD and scrambling then watchout. Also who knew Matthews could bang like that, looked better than ever. I thought he was nigh cannon fodder in this fight, man was I proved wrong. Main was a war respect to both.

Well Santos was the number 1 contender but didn't win. Not sure where her stock can rise too, other than confirm she is the bridesmaid in the division.

 

[Fatback96]

Jake Matthews showed the most drastic turnaround in fighting ability. I’m excited for his next fight.

 

[Ares Black]

Well Santos was the number 1 contender but didn't win. Not sure where her stock can rise too, other than confirm she is the bridesmaid in the division.

It's not about rankings, it's about perceptions. Before the fight no one was giving her much of a chance. Now many people think she deserved the decision and should be champion.

Yeah he looked like a contender tonight.
