Considering how young he is & how much he’s improved these last years, if Van can manage to keep getting better? He may end up among the GOATs.
He almost knocked out one of the most impossible-to-finish champs ever to punctuate a masterful defense of his belt.

Congrats on the win- but imagine if @rakic_ufc really mastered a jab?
An athletic, rangey fighter never using a jab is like having a spear but only using it at knife range.
It’s your range finder and rangiest attack, Aleksandar!

Erceg just couldn’t get out of the way of it enough in the end. Man, Temirov is all gas.
Flyweight getting taken over by Strawweights!

I was about to shade the commentary for only really acknowledging anything DDP does, but this 2nd round kind of validates that approach.
Usman polishes off the eyepoke move from his back catalogue.

Lone’er Kavanagh’s skills almost saved him, but he made a few dumb tactical mistakes in that fight.
The refusal to stop with the high kicks, not stifling the range, and re-engaging in the ground without needing to.
Kind of dissapointing, I have high hopes for the dude.

So awesome to see Fiziev back in the win column with another spectacular wheel kick that just ignored Torres’s guard.
That’s a feel good moment, right there. And you can see how appreciative Fiziev is.

Damn- Horiguchi was damn near perfect for 2 and a half rounds. Looked like he was coasting.
But you cannot give Kape even a moment of opportunity.

Hyder Amil just refused to properly block those head kicks, and eventually paid dearly for it.
I feel like dude never recovered from the first time he got stumbled- he seemed *way* too loose all fight and looked to be drooling.
#UFC#UFCVegas119
Damn, bummer for Alex. The end of the first round gave me hope, but ay. It was a big risk.
Congrats to Ciryl. One of my favorite fighters stylistically, but hopefully he can keep fingers out of sockets & strikes away from back of head. Did he tonight?

How stupid, poorly-executed, and ill-timed that jump-knee attempt from Zhang was when Alonzo was hurt.
You have a big puncher wobbled but decide to leave yourself vulnerable with Jordan-from-the-Foul-Line level hangtime.
Get haymaker’d to hell by Menifield.
#UFC#UFCMacau
Well, at least the announcer wanted to put on a show, listing all of Gina and Ronda’s accolades.
Bc the fight concluded damn near instantaneously.
