The best and worst of Barboza. Struggles when pressured but he can end your night in an instant. Fuck yes.

Yeah.  It looked like Dariush tried to pressure him, but it looked like he started getting tired.  When Barboza gets into range and finds his rhythm, he's very effective and very deadly.

Anyway, tonight's show was a ton of fun.  There were a lot of solid underrated matchups with some high level fighters.  This was really a more entertaining card than the last two PPV events.

Gastelum's first KD of Vitor was just brutal. He was out on his feet after the first punch landed. I dunno how he survived that. Big John made the right call after the second KD. That's usually something you see in like round 9 and towards the championship rounds in boxing when one boxer has just been taking a hellacious beating, and the ref makes a wise decision to stop it after the first sign of real danger since the likelihood of a comeback is slim to none. If this was like Osiris Maia, he would have let Vitor get his brains scrambled even more. Savvy performance from Gastelum and even more savvy reffing from BJM.

The craziest part of the Barboza knockout is that he threw a flying knee as a counter strike.  He realized Dariush dropped his head when he jabbed, timed him perfectly and knocked him dead with a flying knee.  That shit was beautiful.
