The most abnormal thing about this occasion has been the way that it was incredibly eclipsed by such a large amount of the buildup encompassing the greatest Brazil card ever at UFC 198 and the most fantastic occasion they've gotten ready for so far at UFC 200. Truth be told, considerably main event Luke Rockhold would not like to battle on this card.
So with very little in the method for desires for an occasion this way, a progression of normal of simply acceptable exhibitions would have been more than pleasant. The truth of it is that we got a progression of truly stunning exhibitions rather with some incredible miracles and shocks. With two title battles at the top, it reinforced the card and gave it more real star power also. This was plainly one of the best cards of the year in this way, and heaps of extraordinary stories have originated from this occasion. How about we do this.
Champs
Michael Bisping - As I said prior on online networking, this is the year of the Cinderella story. To begin with it was Miesha Tate, now it's the best warrior to have never battled for a title. Coming in with a little more than two weeks notice, it's astounding that he fell off doing a film to venture up and grab the chance of a lifetime. Interesting and to some degree tragic that it was simply because Weidman was harmed and Jacare needed surgery that he got the shot in the first place (also Yoel Romero's suspension). The man most saw so far another conciliatory sheep, over and again found a home for that left snare and impacted Rockhold with what was were likely a portion of the finest shots he's ever discharged to end up the impossible champion before his family and companions. A genuine lifetime accomplishment that merits an enormous measure of recognition. Every one of these years of penance and torment have yielded a definitive prize, and this is really a standout amongst the most noteworthy battles we've had the joy to witness.
Dan Henderson - This was the battle that made them inhale substantial. Another startling appearing from both warriors where at the end of the day Lombard seemed as though he was completing his adversary early and got with a head kick that prompt a creature elbow that put the previous Olympic Judoka to rest. Hard. While the vast majority would most likely have favored Hendo resign without a moment's pause in the pen, it's quite reasonable that he give it some an opportunity to consider what he needs to do. Another instance of a contender with a huge win having the capacity to impart the minute to his family in the confine, and one that we'll clearly think back on in years to come.
Dominick Cruz - Perhaps it's sheltered to say the Faber/Cruz contention is generally over at this point. Cruz utilized a decent assortment of weapons to outflank Faber and keep his title in a reasonable way that indicated exactly how a long ways in front of whatever remains of the division he genuinely is. It's an incredible division with some crisp matchups and convincing characters, so there ought to be no lack of challengers for Cruz to confront.
Max Holloway - Nine. Nine battles in succession and still kind of in a condition of limbo. With the title picture being entangled now as McGregor has the belt with a progression of misfortunes outside of the weight class alongside an interval title to be battled about at UFC 200, there's no unmistakable way for him at this moment. He needs a turn the belt, which he ought to in the end get with another execution like this and ought to apparently have at this point, and a spot on a UFC card in Hawaii. That last one will be somewhat troublesome and may not happen at any point in the near future, but rather it appears like administration hold up until the smoke clears amongst Aldo and Edgar before making their best course of action with Holloway.
Dustin Poirier - Returning to lightweight has been the best thing so far for Poirier, who now is on a four-battle win streak and three of them have been completions with two Performance of the Night rewards, to boot. He's stopping ceaselessly to keep climbing the rankings In the absolute best division in the greater part of the game, and that is a huge turnaround. He's indicated change between every excursion and he's one of the genuine feel-great stories.
Beneil Dariush - Having a five-battle win streak be broken by a misfortune to Michael Chiesa truly lit a flame under Dariush. He came in hard and put on a constant pace, upsets any mood Vick may have attempted to set up and continued impacting him with the huge visually impaired overhands in a way like Bisping and in the end put him to rest. Remarkable execution to recover energy and proceed with his ascent through the positions.
Jessica Andrade - Dropping two weight classes is one thing, doing as such and putting on a stinging on a standout amongst the most obvious contenders of the division in such an overwhelming way is something else altogether. Andrade choked out Penne with volume and some great shots, particularly to the body. This puts her at 5-3 generally speaking in the UFC and is her first complete in the Octagon since submitting Larissa Pacheco in 2014. Not certain where her roof is in this new division, however her wrestling and boxing can give anybody fits.
Alex Caceres - Never check out Bruce Leeroy. Since moving to the MMA Lab he's refined his amusement in a manner that he's only a risk regardless of where he is or how hard he's been hit. He took points of interest of a portion of the negative behavior patterns that Cole Miller had and made due on the ground to keep the activity at the pace he's most OK with. Dumping Miller on his back and rebuffing him with smooth boxing and awesome counters was incredible to watch. That and his awesome barrier on the ground in the third and last round.
Brian Ortega - This has been maybe a standout amongst the most charming astonishments we've had in a while, on the grounds that in the wake of winning the RFA featherweight title, he's fit in superbly into the UFC fold. He stays undefeated and put forth a noteworthy expression by running toe-to-toe with a built up, wily veteran and wound up completing him late in the battle. Yes, regardless he has a win toppled to a no challenge because of PED use, however that is behind him and his advancement is undeniable. He is very brave to fill, yet so far he's doing awesome.
Luis Henrique da Silva - Frankenstein did some genuine work and proceeds with his undefeated streak and it bears rehashing - the greater part of his battles end in completions. Stand out session was an accommodation win, the rest were KO or TKO triumphs. It ought to likewise be noticed that his last win was against UFC veteran Ildemar Alcantara, and it's too soon to tell what is in his future, yet this was an incredible approach to acquaint himself with the UFC.
Zuffa - Anyone that didn't arrange this PPV will be kicking themselves and they can at present make some bank on post-occasion replay buys. Announcing both McGregor/Diaz 2 and additionally the arrival of Brock Lesnar was huge. In spite of a few issues with the methodology, they had some fine tributes to Muhammad Ali, without whom we maybe might not have battle sports development to where they are today.
Failures
Luke Rockhold - It truly is frustrating to see somebody that executed and additionally he did against an apparently relentless Chris Weidman come in and get completed that way, yet we should be clear - swagger is a piece of Luke's identity. Maybe it wasn't sticking to the course of action that destroyed him, however we need to variable what Bisping righted into the condition more than what Rockhold wronged. Losing a belt to a contender that on paper was at a monstrous detriment is truly huge, however he'll be back in the title picture decently soon. He's a remarkable ability that got outworked by a sharp warrior that was at the highest point of his amusement.
Urijah Faber - Not just is this the end of his competition with the previously stated Cruz, yet it would appear that this is the end of any desires for holding UFC gold. He said his long vocation after the battle and was especially the quintessential man of his word and colleague pushing his stable of contenders paying little mind to the misfortune. He's had an incredible vocation regardless. Cruz was and is a lot for him to handle now and that is exactly what it is.
Hector Lombard - Probably the one warrior that lost the most today evening time. Coming back to middleweight in the wake of asserting he wasn't feeling he was battling taking care of business in the welterweight division, we have to recall that he was undersized at 185, which is the reason he cleared out that division in any case. The difficult piece of everything is that on the off chance that you take a gander at the first round of both this battle and the one preceding, he just looked so great. This is most likely not what the UFC administration expected when they made the milestone marking of Lombard years prior, and he's on a two battle losing streak with his last win over Josh Burkman being upset for PED use. One needs to think about whether he even stays in the UFC at all after this series of exhibitions and his allegedly thick satchel.
Bobby Green - Look, I get it. Green's style depends on insults and bluffs with a ton of posing a dressing to counterbalance his rival and get in their mind. It's a style that I for one acknowledge in a few contenders. At any rate the ones that do it well, and this was not doing it well. He rolled the shakers and ate it against a hard hitter that has no misgivings with getting in near make a battle as appalling as it must be. Coming in off long cutback, this is presently his second in a row misfortune consecutively. As we've set up some time recently, a misfortune at lightweight could drop you more spots than in basically some other division, so it's hard to see what they do with him now.
Jessica Penne - This was most likely the saddest loss of the night, since much like her title battle against Joanna Jędrzejczyk back in June of a year ago, she just got overwhelmed and brutalized by more dynamic competitors with high-weight recreations. Penne is a remarkable grappler and a decent warrior, however her last two battles haven't demonstrated her actual potential. As of now at 1-2 in the UFC, she should get another shot in a moderately shallow division, however her striking barrier and her hostile propensities that have a tendency to end up liabilities should be tended to.
James Vick - There's nothing amiss with a dynamic up-and-comer has his undefeated streak broken, however this one was merciless. Vick battled some great rival and was confronted with a
