I can’t see GSP being that sharp with his last fight being literally a full four years ago. Plus, he’s a WW fighting at MW. The situation does’t look promising for GSP on the surface.

Of course, GSP can pull out a win if he gets him on the ground for most of the fight and just goes full-blanket on him.

It always seems like Joe Rogan is always trying to gin up controversy lol. I just don't think he cares anymore.

On the fight pass prelims, Blaydes won by TKO. Replay was used to check if he delivered an illegal kick to a downed opponent, he did but it just grazed the ear so he still wins. I’m thrilled they used replay!

First time replay has been used in the UFC AFAIK, NYSAC debuted it today. And in the 2nd fight of the night it stops an unjust DQ win for the loser or a no-contest.

Ugh don’t need reply for this, knees him in the balls and then kicks him in the face while the ref is trying to stop it.

Ref will decided if DQ win or No contest.

Maybe overzealous on Harris’ part

DQ win for Godbeer.

I’d have called it a no-contest.

Yeah, that appeared to be a case for a DQ rather than NC.

Davis should change his nickname to Mr. Lullaby, cause his fights are like that for most viewers.
