Only saw the main card. First fight was insane, amazing comeback cause Varner was lighting him up. Flyweight wasn't thrilling, not sure if Ali can do much to DJ but he's probably got himself a title shot in the shallow division. Reem actually brought some cardio tonight, didn't matter since Mir kinda disappeared after that hard knee in the first. Got stoked on the choke attempt in the second, but otherwise a bummer to see my homeboy go out (likely) looking like junk. Reem calling out Lesnar in the post match was funny.
Aldo's leg kicks and counters in first few rounds were sexy. Watched the show with some uneducated folks, thought the fight was going evenly, giving Lamas some of those early rounds. Aldo may have not been dropping him, but totally outclassed him until he skipped the fifth, as is tradition. Watching the post fight presser, seems like Dana, Pettis and Aldo all stoked on that match. Maybe Aldo moves up and Barao jumps up a division too. I'm sure Faber would be happy. Sucks to be in that sort of Fitch / Franklin division, dude is just dominant outside of the title scene and actually exciting too. Dana saying now he thinks it was early, not counting out another title shot. I don't see Faber making 125, and not making a run at 145 while Mendes is at the top too (wouldn't mind seeing him and Edgar go, though). Regardless of whether fight was stopped early, I still don't seeing him taking out Barao, so unless Barao goes up soon, Faber's probably screwed, and killing off contenders in the mean time.
