Yay! for Dominick Reyes he got Weidman good the left hand got Weidman to the ground and connect with a hammer fist that finished the fight I guess Weidman just couldn't take the level for the light heavyweight division and this could be Weidman's final career well president Dana White will discuss to Chris Weidman and his team whether or not it's time to hang up his gloves, because now 1-5 in his last six fights with all five losses coming by way of knockout or TKO.
Well, I didn't expect that Yair Rodriguez would win this the kicking madness, Stepehn 33, was forced to show an insane level of toughness after the kick folded him in half, but congrats to Rodriguez for winning this.

I missed the fights totally, I mixed up dates, but I checked results.
I was right about Dominick Reyes win. He is to strong and one of the top fighters in his category.
Congrats to him!

Yes, he is worthy I definitely think a match between them will happen soon. Jones loves to beat people who are on a win streak
All the fighters have big plans and have the confidence to beat any fighter and so does Dominick Reyes and Jon Jones will find a way to win the fight as he is extremely talented and crafty and only the life style of Jones could defeat him inside the octagon and even after fighting him they will think that if they could rectify certain things they could defeat Jones the next time around and if there is a rematch Jones will finish them off clean 
. I wasn't expecting Yair and Jeremy's fight to go to the judges scorecard.
I am waiting to see another fight of Zabit Magomedsharipov and he is my favorite fighter as he is the complete fighter, great on the feet and equally good in the ground game too.
What I'm not sure is if Dana thinks the same thing, what if he take it seriously? Who knows 
? Anyway, I doubt that Coby will be a man of his word because he just fights under UFC in which Dana is the big boss. So whatever he says, at the end of the day he will bow down to Dana unless he is already planning to shift into different FC.
I have seen the interview and what Dana White said about Colby and he is not pleased with the character Colby is playing and Dana is known to have a bad temper and he can release him from the UFC if he continues to bad mouth Dana and he has released fighters before and Colby is not having any support from his fight camp too, may be he will go to the WWE and continue his character ? Anyway, I doubt that Coby will be a man of his word because he just fights under UFC in which Dana is the big boss. So whatever he says, at the end of the day he will bow down to Dana unless he is already planning to shift into different FC. .
Welp, Weidman tried to take the match to the ground but couldn't keep him there. Reyes is a strong mf that's why he is confident throwing those kicks and punches. He did the right thing of challenging Jones right after that impressive KO win.
I want to see a rematch between Weidman and Rockhold in light heavy weight as both fighters are on a loosing streak and moved up in weight
This could happen as a co-main event of a UFC fight night. Interesting match between guys at the end of their careers. REYES thinks he is now the man to beat in the division
He isn't called "the devastator" for nothing. 
Feel kind of bad watching WEIDMAN go out like this and take such a massive attack from the relatively unknown REYES
REYES thinks he is now the man to beat in the division and will look for the big $$$ vs BONES JONES
But now he is 12-0 with 9 victories before the decision so he is a good candidate to challenge BONES next

^ Lolol. The UFC should make a custom belt for them just like how they made a custom belt for Masvidal and Diaz. 
Now the time is here to make the belt as Chris Weidman is also knocked out cold in the first round while Luke Rockhold was somehow able to survive the first round as he was knocked out in the second round , lets name it the Ex Middleweight CC belt where CC stands for champions who are not able to cut weight and there is no division they can go to .I only watched the final bout, Chris Weidman started strong trying to take Dominick Reyes down and on another attempt he just cracked a perfectly timed left hook in the chin and instantly the legs of Weidman gave out and two more hammer fist to finish it up and Dominick Reyes called out Jon Jones, looks like there are some worthy contenders now in the light heavyweight to challenge Jones.
And to think Weidman was talking about shocking the world again if given a shot vs Jon Jones before the fight... Lol. Nope, he's done.
Edit: Results.

The fight game is the only place where you can threaten your boss and be safe thinking that it is just promoting the fight . .

So whatever he says, at the end of the day he will bow down to Dana unless he is already planning to shift into different FC. Is Covington getting a little bit too much on his threat against Dana? This is gonna be an intense event for sure. Honestly, I really want Usman to beat his ass but f*ck it. I'm now curious whether he will really slap Dana's face or not lol.
The fight game is the only place where you can threaten your boss and be safe thinking that it is just promoting the fight lol. . The character Colby Covington is playing is too irritating and cringe worthy and everyone hates him and he likes the negative publicity and that is helping him to earn more money if not he will not continue with this stupid character. Usman and Colby Covington will be a great fight as both are good wrestlers and Covington has stamina for ages.

Weidman is a good striker back in his prime. Reyes, on the other hand, is hard to take down and he has been knocking people out as well. Taking him on the ground may be a better strategy for Weidman but I think both fighters will try to knock each other out.
Weidman is an accomplished wrestler and a black belt in BJJ and Dominick Reyes does not have the wrestling credibility like Weidman and he is a blue belt in BJJ but he is a good striker and we are in for a treat to see how Weidman is going to perform in this division and if he is able to win a couple of fights he could even fight for the belt against Jones but to reach him he had to go through tough fighters. I want to see a rematch between Weidman and Rockhold in light heavy weight as both fighters are on a loosing streak and moved up in weight and if Weidman looses this fight then it would be a perfect rematch .

Before the Anderson Silva fight he only had one knockout victory in the UFC and we all know how the fight went with Anderson, the first one he was knocked out because Anderson was clowning around and the second one he broke his leg in the rematch and after that deflated Vitor Belfort and then his losses started accumulating and that bags the question when was his prime . MAIN CARD
Light Heavyweight: Dominick Reyes VS Chris Weidman
Featherweight: Yair Rodriguez VS Jeremy Stephens
I like this two fights!
Dominick Reyes is a great fighter I am supporting him to win here.
Not sure about Yair fight... and need to do more research and think about it
I pick Stephens cos... He mad. Lol. I think he's gonna show Rodriguez's head direct to the canvas. Seriously tho, Stephens has the grit and it feels like he's gonna be too much for Rodriguez.
Edit: Just watched the weigh ins. Weidman looks like he lost some muscle mass moving up to LHW.

my guess is that Weidam will use his wrestling skills to control the fight and if he is able to do that he will win, other than that it is impossible .

I never watched Jeremy Stephens before, so I have no clue about him, and how good he is.
If you look at his record he got many split decision losses and wins and has many fight of the night performances that means a lot about his fighting style. He is just 33 years old but he is a veteran in the sport as he had 45 fights till now and won 19 fights by knockout, both of the fighters are strikers and i am expecting another performance of the night kind of performance.

I really sure think as well that Dominick Reyes is a better fighter than Weidman I think Reyes is a good athlete than him.
And with Yair Rodriguez and Jeremy Stephens I kinda still thinking and undecided if who's going to win Yair is a Taekwondo black belt and wants plenty of distance to his opponent I guess this is his key victory and pretty sure very weak against submission moves but I really like Taekwondo and want to watch a kicking madness and how he will cover up for that weakness,
While Jeremy Stephens has absurdly fought a level of competition back then he is still a bruiser and has a high punching power that could instant KO his opponent in instant, despite having with his kicks I guess that doesn't compete more with Rodriguez having a black belt on that department, So I guess he must stick to what he does best so it is a complicated decision but I have bet on Stephens on this one.
If you watch the fights of Yair Rodríguez and his losses he lost both times to strikers once against Frankie Edgar and the another was well back in his career and his fight against Chan Sung Jung he was loosing the fight till the last second of the fight and that crazy elbow earned him the victory, Jeremy Stephens hits really hard and he lost against top level fighters but his fight against Doo Ho Choi impressed me a lot and i am going with Jeremy to win the fight.
Thank you posting this info.
I never watched Jeremy Stephens before, so I have no clue about him, and how good he is.
I will find out soon
