I'd hate to be the guy in a bar who tries to pick a fight with the smaller Volkanavski

Lopes lasted longer than I thought he would

We never really saw any grappling

Good shit.  Volk 4-1 for me.  2 and 5 were close, but still think Volk landed more significant shots.

He got more points shots for sure

Whoever set up this fight failed miserably.

No way Lopes deserved a title shot.

Absolutely didnt deserve it, but held on pretty well. 

Lots of interesting potential FW matchups now that thats shaking out. 

Would be nice to see either he or Jean Silva knock Yair backdown to where he belongs.

Looks like I tuned in for one fight left.

Sucks for Anthony No Lion Heart Smith. But he was always game.

The Chinese guy looked pretty darn good.

Hopefully this ends the Nickal hype train. Good for RDR. 
 

Sandhagen is an animal. One of the tweets they put up on screen was something to the effect of “remember Cory trains with and is coached by Ryan Hall” and it does show up in his fights. Hope he gets a crack at Merab

I tuned in towards the end of the second so IDK what lead to Aldo being so tired after seemingly winning with those kicks but then let up and got all tired.

I can't believe Zahabi got up after getting kicked in the face twice

Very aggressive and dangerous kicks close to the brink of what is allowed. They were all legal and he literally lifted him off the ground one was so clean. A lot of heart and fight displayed by Zahabi to finish the last two minutes on top and pounding.

Probably judged fairly. Couldn't make the last round 10-8 after almost being ended early in the opposite direction. Epic third round swing.

Jose Aldo has retired.

Again.  

An all time badass.  
I wonder if it was a cardio thing or a confidence thing.
Just looking at him, he seems in incredible shape. But his cardio failed him in the end.

It looked like a combination of all those things: Father time, missed weight by 6 pounds, finagled a last second new fight weight class, active first round, slowed down in the second, gassed himself out chasing a 3rd round TKO, no more heart left to finish.

I didn't realize all those details.  Sounds like some bad decisions on his part led to his second retirement.
