Elia Toporia is different
I wanted to be careful about the suspicion. We have seen it several times – Oliveira is the weak but withdraws some magic in the battle of a lightweight title.
But the moment I saw Toporia came out of the tunnel on Saturday, I knew he was a man who had not lost. I was honored to watch the best fighters in the UFC history closely – and talk to them after that – and I know what is the best appearance and feeling. Topuria is different. He reminded me of Conor McGregor When he went out Dustin Boerer In their first battle in MGM Garden in Las Vegas in 2014 with what appeared to be half of Ireland in the stands. Make the self -belief of McGregor – along with the work he was doing in the gym – is not defeated that night. Topuria was the same in UFC 317.
The fighting game is a world of excessive excess and preference, and sometimes it is transferred. But I can say with full confidence, what we are witnessing with Toporia is special. Oliveira did not leave on Saturday. Oliveira left staring at space in the middle of the appraiser with a bullet, which he said was clearly depicting a throw in advance. He hosted a celebration party by winning in Las Vegas – Friday … the day before the fighting. Even the most trusted, pastor The fighters of all ages do not dare do such things. Topuria is the most interesting performer in MMA now. -Kamamoto
Alexander Pantoja will get a new competitor, thank God
Pantoja has a long road before his legacy can be in the weight of the fly Dimitrius JohnsonThose who set the UFC registry with 11 payments in a row in a row. But Pantoja is not up to him when it comes to current belt holders. His four defenses are more than any UFC champion.
Moreover, Pantoja and his legacy got a gift on Saturday night, and he was not in the battle of his title against Kara France. The hero Kara France was defeated before, although this was nine years ago and was just an exhibition on “The Ultimate Fighter”, the drama that preceded the match was the minimum.
It was not surprising that Pantoja dealt with business. Within 30 seconds of the start of the fighting, he took control of the fabric and was hunting for submission. Kara France survived the tour and kept the battle standing in the second round. But in the third round, Pantoja again took control of the back early, and this time he got the end. Easy work.
Pantoja took advantage of the fighting immediately before him, when Van Ruvena won the best battle at night and perhaps the year. UFC announced that the winner will get the next shot in the fly weight champion, and Van Pantoja allowed to avoid having to fight another match. Ruyyruyvy has already been defeated, and no one wants to see this congruence again.
But Van? The 23 -year -old got huge pop music from the crowd after his victory and when he was brought to the cage to face Pantoja. This is a battle with great appeal, and it is what the hero needs in a department that dominates it, and the better if this competitor is a young star. Every hero needs a competitor who can pay and He raised his general profile, and it seems that such a man. -Wagenheim
Joshua truck, Max Holway The comparison is clear, but it is good

Joshua van, Brandon Ruyyuval put everything at the end of the epic
Joshua Van and Brandon Ruyyove are anger at each other to end their seizure, as he won the victory of the unanimous decision.
Everything is about the favorite fan. The first is activity. When Holloway joined UFC in 2012, he fought four times in 11 months. Van is cut from the same fabric. On Saturday, his fifth battle was in the past nine months. He carries himself in a similar way with Holway. There is a calm confidence that is not high or noisy, just dangerous. He is very composed. The rise and the property picked up its eighth victory in UFC and defeated the best rival in the weight of the fly in a three -week notice. Holway 11 wins by time reached 24.
There is still a lot to be solved, of course, but it is a good bet that Van will do a lot of “BMF” works and fight every fly weight in his time over the next decade. It will be in many difficult battles, as it was on Saturday, and the fans will love him for that. There will be a lot of unforgettable moments, as it was with a late knockout for sheen. He will compete for the UFC title, and whether or not he has won, he will leave his mark on sport. – Outcumpoto
