Tom is the real champ now. Jon will come back in a year and fight Stipe, win, and then both will retire. Tom will be the defacto champ or he'll fight Ciryl Gane to cement it.

Alex’s leg kicks are crazy. Jiri is already stumbling.
DC was right, the back of his leg is fucked
I hate that stoppage a title fight.
Don't like that stoppage.
Yeah it's hard to say, he did eat a lot of elbows. Goddard probably assumed it was a wrap.
That Jiri Reyes knockout is just filthy.
I’m indifferent about the stoppage. He was hurt but, it appeared that Jiri had some more fight in him. On the other hand, Jiri’s body language after the elbows likely didn’t look good from a ref perspective.
Yeah, same. But knowing about his insane chin, Goddard should have let him take a few more..
Anyways, Pereira wins either way
Thanks for participating everyone. Hope to see you all again at the next event.
BANG!! Wooooo!! What a performance.
Damn Jiri is intense.
HOLY FUCK BOYS
Tom Aspinall vs Gane would be an absolute banger.
I think Aspinall would dominate Gane on the ground. I’d still watch it though.
Oh, absolutely. But Gane's speed and evasiveness would make the standup much, much more interesting. Gane's still gonna get his shit mixed, though..
Yeah. I just can’t imagine Gane surviving much longer than he did vs Jones with another well rounded and dynamic opponent. I also can’t think of many other fighters not named Jon Jones that could give Aspinall a really tough fight. Pavlovich seemed like the one with his fuck you power.
Wow that was fast. I thought Aspinall was a dead man walking after he ate those first two shots.
Me too, I thought "look at me, eating my words again".
HOLY SHIT
Lopes closed that one out definitively, damn.
I think he had it wrapped up but I think the stoppage was a lil snappy
Lopes has some serious contender potential. His style is so exciting and he’s got some crispy technique.
Fights start in a half an hour. Let’s go!
Wohoo go Gordon
I’ve been rooting for him since the Paddy decision. Nice win.
I think this applies to absolutely everyone haha
That was an insane first fight, can’t wait to see a rematch if they have one
Damn sometimes I feel for Dom Reyes, getting robbed against Jones and then those bad KOs.
Yeah I remember when I watched Reyes VS Jones I was FLOORED that they gave it to Jones. The fix is in, that was my first thought.
Reyes had a ton of potential. He’s got a fight coming up. Maybe Dom will turn things around. If he gets flatlined again I hope he hangs it up.
Thankfully that's over. Nothing against Dern but that second round was hard to watch. Good stoppage from the ref.
Wow, he looked a little disoriented already.
I made it for the co and main...phew!
Wow
Stipe lookin like a Bond villain
Bond villain mixed with Steve Jobs.
Jones will never fight either of those dudes.
I got Alex in this one, but Jiri is a dog. Coin flip fight.
Yeah, I am stoked for this one.
Alex should have the cleaner striking, but Jiri is just wild and probably a bit bigger at 205.
Yeah. This is solid matchmaking. Not sure Alex has earned it, but I like this matchup.
Hey guys.
Pavlovich is going to be outclassed. Aspinall's distance management will be too much.
I think this is the most likely outcome, but Pavlovich just needs to connect once.
Wow, what a ko. Very memeable screm too.
That was quite a scream. Nice start to the card!
Has Saint-Denis a tiny Stipe in his corner?
