Billy Quarantillo wins it.  I thought Spike had it.  Billy was the better fighter off of his back, but Spike always did more than just escape.  The dude would give up his back and then roll right back into dominant positions.

Could've gone either way.  Judges may have dinged Spike for the way Round 1 ended and may have looked a bit more favorably on Billy's back fighting than most judges do.

Sakai has a tattoo of the Virgin Mary that looks like it was written in colored pencils on one arm and a geisha on his inner bicep near his armpit on the other arm.  The homeys are running neck & neck with the Brazilians for the ownership of the worst tattoo on this card.

Ivanov is biting on Sakai's kick feints now that his lead leg is beat up.  Not a good sign.  This is what happens when you don't check leg kicks.

So we're not calling blatant fouls now.  Is this basketball?

Wow, Sakai wins a split.  That fight should've been a draw.  Third should've been 9-9 (point deduction for the cage grab) although I have no idea what fight the judge was watching that gave Ivanov 30-27.

Spike Carlyle is Dana White's wet dream.

We know what happened to at least one of those ginger kids from South Park. That shit at the start of the fight and just prior were out of a nightmare. Fuck.

So, is Woodley going to showcase his new striking skills or is this a swerve and he's just going to take Burns down and lean on him for three or four rounds before maybe going for the kill in the fifth?

I am digging Bisping's "Woodley must fight like a challenger again" commentary.

This is a tonne of adversity for Woodley. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds for both from here. Gilbert's transformation is legitimately hard to believe.

Woodley is lucky that is a brow cut and not on his eyelid.  It is the fucking Grand Canyon.

Dean Thomas is giving Woodley a pep talk.  Not good.  Is Woodley demoralized after two rounds?

Round Five.  What do you do when nothing is working.  This is the riddle that Tyron Woodley must answer.

Man, it's absurd that Durinho has went from possible pretender to contender in the span of seven or eight months.

The man went five full rounds for the first time in his career against the former champ, beat the breaks off of him, and then conducted an interview without even breathing hard.

Between other contenders being hemmed up by injuries or traveling issues thanks to the pandemic, Usman vs. Burns has to happen.

Usman vs. Burns, Colby vs. Masvidal. Easy. Two big money fights that match up better than the other combinations. 

Once dried off he wasn't even sweating after the fight. Usman is a marvel but Burns does so much. Conversely, Usman is a stiff striker with probably the best MMA wrestling on the planet. I would love to see that.

Poor Brandon Royval.  His finish didn't make the Sportscenter review.  Looks like he'll probably be reporting to his day job on Monday.

Oh, well.  The snippet from his interview made the montage cut.  Maybe that will help him earn $50K?

All that Disney money and they ain't gonna pay a brother a living wage. 

On the bright side, he gets a performance bonus for FOTN.

At least the Klitschko brothers understood to do it the other way around: You beat one brother, you have to fight the other so he can get revenge.

Also, surprised that's the first leglock submission in the history of women in the UFC. Then again, Mackenzie Dern is like 350% better on the ground than roughly 95% of women that have ever fought in the UFC.

The other day I was thinking when we last had a leglock submission in the UFC (Ryan Hall on BJ Penn?) and Mackenzie Dern provides.

It will be interesting to see who Dern matches up with next.

On the Flyweight TUF Finale we got a calf crusher finish.
