Just watched the fight. Apart from catching his opponent with a knockout punch Woodley seemed to have no plan B. I don't think his cardio is that great either as he never seemed able to put his opponent under pressure.

Looks like Jones has thrown his toys out of his pram and has allegedly vacated the LHW title following a spat with Dana over not being paid enough for a superfight with Ngannou!
He's quite clearly the most talented LHW in the UFC but I won't miss him if he does end up leaving the UFC - I can't remember the last fight he had that I enjoyed!

A lot of vacated belts of late it seems. When you're so dominant and win so much for so long people tend to get bored and want to see something new and different. I would be disappointed if he did leave.
Having said that, if he was to fight Ngannou he would have got smashed.

I'm not so sure, Jones has always risen to the challenge and his last few fights he appears to have taken to going with the safest option rather than going for finishes.
I'd imagine Jones would just stay safe and wear Ngannou down like Stipe did!
I just don't find him entertaining to watch any more, it's nothing to do with his dominance, he's just become a fairly boring fighter!
He's too big and strong for Jones. I feel Jones wouldn't be able to take him down nor stand with him and that's where Ngannou is most dangerous. Only Miocic or Cormier would stand a chance really and even then I would favour Ngannou.

I didnt watch the prelims but that main card was superb.
Pfft, credit to Spencer for going 5 rounds but she was never going to touch Nunes, totally outclassed. Shame there's no competition, she can't just keep fighting Shevchenko. Don't think it's good for the sport to let beatings like that go on personally.

Couple of crazy KOs last night!
I’m not a huge fan of WMMA but always got time for Nunes she’s such a beast and very highly skilled.

Why would you favour Ngannou over Miocic, what's changed?
Ngannou got far too confident and complacent thinking he could blitz through Miocic. I guess he got taught a valuable lesson, but it all adds to experience. Miocic will likely fight the same way as he did in the first fight and that's where Ngannou will have improved upon.

Some great fights last night but that main event was something else, those two went to war! LW truly is a ridiculous division. Looking forward to seeing the highlights again.

Crazy main event, glad Dustin won.
Wow, awesome fights last night, especially after that Blaydes snoozefest last week.
I thought Dustin was lucky to be saved by the bell at the end of the second, but as the fight went on he really came into his own, definitely knows his way around the later rounds. Hooker was totally spend by the 5th.
Maurice Green was a lucky guy, looked like he just managed to smothered Villante's mouth so he panicked and tapped?
Good card for 251, looking forward to it!
