Brown and Ellenberger was surprising. As another user said Brown's been hit in the body before and it's usually knocked him down but he recovers. This time Ellenberger put him away. Jake used to be a wrecking ball then became hesitant and unsure of his skills it seems. When he fought Rory he was completely frozen in there.

I know everyone is high on Rose but I'm glad Karolina won. Nothing against Rose it was a great fight, she'll be back and better but I felt with the clinch work and accurate knees of Karolina she did enough to secure the win.

Surprised by Woodley's quick KO. Haters are gonna hate about him getting that title shot. He waited 18 months and did it. Unbelievable. By haters I don't necessarily mean anyone on this forum either....I mean the WW fighters themselves saying he didn't deserve it. Question is, how long will he hold it for? Belts are changing hands so quickly now. I could be wrong but Mighty Mouse is the only one that's really been holding on for a while.

Stipe beat Werdum
Cormier got it by Jones violation (This is probably the 3rd longest actually).
Bisping shocked Rockhold
Tyron just beat Lawler
Alvarez just beat Dos Anjos
Conor beat Aldo
Cruz beat Dillashaw
Amanda Nunes caught the hot potato

JJ has been retaining but I think she's only had it for a year and a bit now?
MM been holding on for a while.

MM is the longest reigning current champion, with JJ being the second longest reigning current champion, and she's only had her belt since last March

She has 3 defenses. She fights pretty often. Mighty Mouse has 8. Robbie had 2. RDA had 1. The rest lost it on their first defense.

Only 8 fighters in UFC history have 5 or more title defenses. This year has been a perfect storm, but it's really not unusual to see divisions get chaotic when people like Silva, GSP, and Ronda aren't around. Happened when Liddell was out of the picture at LHW. Shogun, Machida, Forest, etc.

Missed the card, due to being at Lollapalooza. Went nuts when I saw my man Woodley knocked Lawler out tho. Still waiting on 200 to drop on Fight Pass lol. Gonna be a minute...
