Well since Cowboy cleared the division and RDA destroyed him, guess the path is clear for Mcgregor to fight Dos Anjos.

Body kick was Cerrone's downfall vs. Pettis as well.

Rafael Cordeiro is a fighting god. Every fighter that wants to be a champion needs to join Kings MMA.

I love Conor to pieces but even I think that would be a horrendous idea after what RDA pulled off tonight. Also, goodness gracious. The ONLY fight I picked correctly was the Reem winning.

Good show...the only fight I picked correctly was Karolina Kowalkiewicz.
Conor really should stay away from Rafael dos Anjos. If his options are dos Anjos, Aldo, or Frankie Edgar, I think Aldo is his easiest fight, which says a lot about the level of competition out there right now.
The Conor/Nick Diaz smack talk would be INSANE.
Between UFC 193, the TUF Finale, UFC 194, and tonight, it's been an awesome month to be an MMA fan. Lots of good stuff.

Only problem with Overeem is that his two best wins in the UFC have come against shot fighters (Brock and JDS). The Diaz fight was good and a lot of fun. He also defeated Werdum, though the fight sucked to be honest lol Who doesn't like a good ole rubber match?(They fought in Pride as well)

Wow, I was rooting for Cerrone, but RDA looked like a f***ing beast in that one!
I think RDA could be the first UFC Lightweight Champ to make it to 4 defenses. He's beaten some of the more credible threats in the division already and for the ones he hasn't his style benefits him in those match-ups.
Also, some respect to Overeem. While anyone able to get 40 wins in the cage deserves respect, that win against Cigano wasn't due solely to Overeem's skill set. It was more a case of Dos Santos f***ing up. I don't know what he was thinking letting Overeem out of the corner like that.

I don't know what he was thinking letting Overeem out of the corner like that. The lightweight record currently stands at 3 defenses shared by BJ Penn, Frankie Edgar, and Benson Henderson. If RDA passes it he'll be the best lw of all time. I think that Overeem changed his style when he joined Jackson's MMA, it's kinda boring but it's safer and it works. I'm kinda bummed out, Overeem vs Dos Santos would've been a ppv headliner 3 years ago...

I feel bad for Cowboy. They didn't even bother giving him the "loser's interview".
He should just hang it up. If you're constantly getting injured, people will take advantage of you.

I'm kinda bummed out, Overeem vs Dos Santos would've been a ppv headliner 3 years ago... Exactly my point! RDA has looked amazing in his last two fights. He made both of his opponents look like bums when each guy was anything but. Hell, Pettis' Wheaties boxes were still on sale when RDA made him look like a chump! That's the thing about MMA. Sure, you have some guys like Northcutt in there who are undefeated, but at the same time that may just mean they've never been really tested. RDA may have an imperfect 24-7 record, but I think he's learned from his losses and injuries and along with his continued training and confidence building wins they've resulted in a real top quality fighter.
