Petr Yan vs Merab Dvalishvili goes all 5 rounds once again #UFC333
15 rounds, 75 minutes shared together in the UFC octagon.
Did the judges get the decision right?
Was it the right winner or was this a robbery?
How did you guys score it?

Max Holloway had been fighting elite competition for more than a decade.
Jose Aldo could not knock him out.
Dustin Poirier could not knock him out.
Justin Gaethje could not knock him out.
Nobody had.
Then he fought Ilia Topuria.
In Round 3, Topuria hurt Holloway with his hands, dropped him and finished the fight with punches.
Official time: 1:34.
Max Holloway had been knocked out for the first time in his career.
And Topuria had done it in his first featherweight title defense.
A historic statement from the new champion.

When a former champion like Sean O'Malley admits that watching Petr Yan beat Merab Dvalishvili gave him nerves just sitting on the couch, you know Yan looked terrifying at UFC 333.
Say what you want about Suga, admitting that an opponent gives you the kind of nerves that make you train harder is the most honest compliment one fighter can give another. 🤝
😅 Sean O’Malley says watching Petr Yan gave him the kind of nerves that fuel his training - and predicts their rematch would be the biggest bantamweight fight in UFC history.

Daniel Cormier reading this #UFC333
Fighters calling out Daniel Cormier's commentary after a card is almost a post-fight tradition at this point.
Do you like Daniel Cormier on the UFC commentary desk, or do you agree with Dominick Reyes here?

Mizuki had not fought in more than two years.
Jaqueline Amorim had won four straight and looked ready to break into the rankings.
The returning veteran spoiled the plan.
Amorim had early grappling success.
Mizuki adjusted.
Started landing in close.
Uppercuts.
Knees.
Pressure.
Three rounds later:
30-27.
30-27.
29-28.
Unanimous decision.
Long layoff over.
Four-fight winning streak stopped.
Mizuki returned and immediately reminded the strawweight division how difficult she was to deal with.

Quillan Salkilld did not need the main card to make people remember his name at UFC 321.
Nasrat Haqparast was the veteran standing across from him.
Halfway through Round 1, Salkilld found the opening.
Head kick.
Clean.
Haqparast went down.
Official time: 2:30.
One of the nastiest finishes of the prelims — and the kind of knockout that can change how quickly the UFC starts moving a prospect up the ladder.

Saying "it would've been too easy if I wasn't sick" after beating an undefeated contender like Movsar Evloev is a different level of championship mentality. 👑
Notice how Volk never breathes a word about being sick until after his hand is raised. Zero excuses, just shows up and gets the job done.
Between Volk asking for Justin Gaethje at the press conference and Joe Lopez talking about Charles Oliveira here, Team Volkanovski is only looking at lightweight legends for his next fight #UFC333
Who would you rather see Alexander Volkanovski fight at lightweight next: Justin Gaethje or Charles Oliveira? 👇
Joe Lopez is open to Alexander Volkanovski facing Charles Oliveira, but criticizes Oliveira’s previous performance as unworthy of the BMF belt.
“We’re up for any challenge, but let’s see what they put in front of us. I just hope Charles doesn’t put on a performance like he did last time, because it wasn’t very BMF-worthy, if that makes sense. If you’re going to fight for something like that, you’ve just got to put it on the line.

Dealing with a chest infection against a relentless grappler like Movsar Evloev—where cardio and breathing are everything—and still finishing him in the second round is unreal. Alexander Volkanovski is one of one. 👑
Volk is the GOAT
#UFC333
Joe Lopez says Alexander Volkanovski had symptoms for several days before fighting Movsar Evloev
“If you spoke to him, he had some sort of chest infection or something. You could hear it in his voice. But there’s no stopping Volk.”

Azamat Murzakanov entered UFC 321 undefeated.
Aleksandar Rakic had spent years around the top of the light heavyweight division.
This was the biggest test yet.
Round 1.
Rakic used the range.
Murzakanov kept closing the distance.
Then the right hand landed.
Clean.
Rakic went down.
The referee stepped in at 3:11.
Sixteen wins.
Zero losses.
And the biggest name yet added to Murzakanov’s résumé.
Calling yourself the "easiest fight" for the champion just to talk Petr Yan into giving you the title shot is wild strategy from Sean O'Malley. 😂
Why do you think Petr Yan didn't call out Sean O'Malley after winning the belt at UFC 333? 👇
Sean O’Malley is surprised Petr Yan did not call him out, insisting their rematch is the biggest fight available.
“I’m surprised Petr didn’t call me out. I don’t know why. It’s the biggest fight to make. I called Chito out after I won the belt. I’m like, I’m getting the easiest f*cking fight ever - not ever. I’ll take whoever, but if I can pick, I’m champ, I want to fight Chito.”

Asking someone "when's the last time we had a bad card?"
And then immediately ending the conversation the second someone gives an honest answer is peak Dana White.
"Okay. Well that's your opinion sir. Have a nice night."
Translation: never hand that guy the microphone again.
Whenever Dana says he's looking at renderings, the production budget is about to go through the roof.
What do you think Dana is teasing here: a stadium mega-card, a return to the Sphere, or a brand-new country?
Drop your guess. 👇
🚨 Dana White teases a 'very unique' UFC event that he says will draw fans from around the world 👀
"We're working on an event right now that will be very unique. People from all over the world will want to come see it.
I already started to see renderings of what we could possibly do. I look forward to announcing that soon."
"Quit smoking, because trust me, you're gonna need those lungs."
That is one of the coldest callout lines we've heard all year. 🥶
Who takes this one at welterweight: Michael Morales or Carlos Prates? 👇
Michael Morales sends a message to Carlos Prates 👀
"You called me a coward, but you needed ten months to get ready to fight me?
Bro, I don’t make excuses. I wait for my moment and take whatever opportunity comes my way. Now shut your mouth and quit smoking, because trust me, you’re gonna need those lungs."

Then why are you NOT fighting him?
If he is not on your level, then just show it?
Are you scared of the smoking Nutella-man?
I just beat the guy who chased you around the Octagon for five rounds. Shut up and go train. You’re not on my level. See you soon . #maybe

Umar Nurmagomedov had already fought for UFC gold.
Mario Bautista was the next man trying to knock him away from the top of the bantamweight division.
Umar gave the judges very little to think about.
Three rounds.
Three judges.
Every round scored for Nurmagomedov.
A complete decision win.
In one of the deepest divisions in the UFC, there is almost no room for an easy night.
This one kept Umar exactly where he wanted to be:
Right near the top.
Ali Abdelaziz's reaction to Carlos Prates calling out Islam Makhachev for dropping out of their fight.
Do you agree or disagree with Ali?
