I was a bit surprised with Stevie Ray decision win against Michael Johnson (29-28, 29-28, 28-28).
Before fight I was thinking that Johnson was favorite and odds where in his favor also.

I missed the fights because of the time zone changes and i was expecting the fight to take place later but then when i saw the results here i was thinking what the hell, i was looking for the Ben Askren fight and i am looking for rebroadcast to watch those or have to download it from somewhere.

I wish there was some countdown to UFC events, as I can't track all this time zone changes  

With majority of the fights outside EU and US time zones should be advertised so that everyone can watch the match live, i never like to watch the matches after learning about the results, but Askren and Maia is a great battle for position and i am waiting to watch that match.

I don't know why they don't use simple countdown method on UFC website.
That way anyone in the world would know exact time when event is starting.

I missed several events for this reason only
Maybe someone can even earn by creating website dedicated only for this.

A great fight for both fighters the first round was for Demian Maia giving pressure to Askren with some punches even though Askren is doing some sneak attacks on the upper Maia keep on waging the fist on Askren, While on the 2nd round was Ben Askren had turned the table and pretty sure Maia was slow in this round but still when the 3rd round comes Maia was so crafty with his moves turning the tables against Askren by taking the submission and turning it on until Ben Askren got in a wrong position that Maia take the chance in taking the punches then the submission rear-naked choke on Askren,

Well they decided to have a stand-up fight on the duration of the fight and I think Askren has some success and caught Demian several times. There where attempts on Askren for a take down. Ben was successful with his upper cuts and when the fights goes to the ground,  Maia proved to be the superior one. Askren said that he had a lot of positions that he shouldn't be in the first place, that's why he lost.

I just the hype is over for Ben now, he can't back that big mouth of his because of two successive lost.

Pretty much Askren and Maia wants to show everybody that they can fight in a hand to hand combat as well, but pretty much Askren sure have many mistakes when they decided to take it on the ground and yes Maia has a pretty big advantage over Askren it is shown on the third round people have seen the big difference between the two, and yes maybe Askren need to sit this one now he now got two consecutive lost pretty much Maia is a better when fighting on the ground and all have seen this when the two collide.

If they wanted to show the entire audience about their hand skills we all saw that in this fight, it was wrestler against a ground specialist and Ben Askren never faced anyone in his life who has a ground game like Demian Maia and a single mistake to a top level fighter like that will be disastrous and we saw that in this fight. I think Ben Askren will continue to improve and come back learning from these mistakes.

[eaLiTy]

I think Ben Askren will continue to improve and come back learning from these mistakes.

If you remember Ben Askren retired from MMA and was teaching wrestling in schools before getting an opportunity in the UFC because of the media sensation it created because of social media hype that they wanted to see the undefeated Askren in the UFC and i have no doubt that he is a good fighter and a good wrestler but he was not facing elite fighters as a champion in other organization but in the UFC you will only see killers in the top ten and a lapse of concentrate means you are sleeping.

“ Fight of the Night: Demian Maia vs. Ben Askren”

Are you serious? I, peronally, didnt like the fight. I wonder if it is possible NOT to choose the fight of the night and pay the bonus

If all the fights end up in a decision and nothing interesting and two fights end up in a submission they would choose that and it is fair to give out bonus to those fights because majority are not winning huge amounts when compared to super stars, i agree that the Demian Maia vs Ben Askren was not the best fight this year but it was the in this fight card as both these fighters were going at each other from the starting bell until Ben Askren continued his sleeping ways just like his last fight .

[NavI_027]

I just the hype is over for Ben now, he can't back that big mouth of his because of two successive lost.

That's for sure mate . I hope he is finally tired and done of boasting but ending up lying flat on the canvas. I can't help but to laugh because it's very ironic. How come that a fighter which is good in the ground got submitted seems so easily. If I were him, I'll just return to ONE lol.

[bbc.reporter]

@NavI_027. Agreed. All the UFC's old stars beat him, not including the controversial stoppage versus Robbie which Ben almost lost.

He should have fought from the bottom and rose the ranks instead of riding his own hypetrain. However, he might be back hehehe.

[NavI_027]

He should have fought from the bottom and rose the ranks instead of riding his own hypetrain.

That's the best thing he can do right now after getting humiliated by his last two losses. Or at least stop being braggart and do tons of talk shit, on that way he might got the sympathy of the crowd and reclaim their respect .

However, he might be back hehehe.

I believe he will but I hope he could have a decent win by that time. He should work harder or else his "sleeping moments" collection will grow lmao.

It would have being a good idea to start from the bottom looking at how things went for Ben but he is signed because of the hype he had and he was undefeated for a long time and he is good in the mic and he was calling out everyone and if you are not able to back that up he will be embarrassed and with the fight he had with Dana White in the past i am sure he will be laughing after seeing all these results, if not all the core MMA fans were blaming White for not giving him the opportunity to perform in the world stage because of a silly fight in the past.

BMF on the planet event is here!  (almost  )  The video below is a must watch!  There isn't gonna be a bout like this again imo.  Not in a decade at least. 

Rooting for Diaz.  And if you're putting action on him, do it now before the fan boy monies come in and move the line down.

I hope they will carry on with the BMF belt and make it an open weight category and if that happens then we might be able to see some dream matches.
Diaz was flagged and now he is allowed to fight and the tickets are sold out for this event and it shows the level of fans Nate has and the UFC never identified that until he faced Conor in a short notice fight which was a record breaking event.

Exciting fight. Both are bmf champions on their own ways. These guys especially Nate know how to sell tickets. They are not the best in their divisions but these guys can earn bigger than some UFC champions. It's like Connor McGregor, everybody want him because he is bigger than any other MMA fighters.

A must watch video indeed.

This is probably the best first three minutes of all UFC videos and it reminded me of that time watching the very first UFC tournament.

As for Jorge and Nate, it's tough to pick between the two. It will probably go down the distance and the fighter who is better conditioned will win via unanimous decision. We all know Nate still has a tough chin and some crazy cardio.

For a second there, I thought Kevin was sparring with Ben Askren 

Still can't pick between Darren and Kevin.

KG is supposed to be mauling people because of his good wrestling background but it seems he prefers fighting stand up now which is kind of more dangerous for him. He did well against Adesanya but when he goes against a superior striker, he'll most likely lose. We all know Darren is really good with his striking.
