Hi everyone, my name is Luke Thomas. It is 1231 in the morning on East Coast time. And this is the UFC 260 post fight show.

As I mentioned, my name is Thomas. I'm one half of the hosting two of morning combat, which will be back of course Monday at 11 am, which is a regularly scheduled time.

Tonight we have UFC 260 results to get to. Please give the video a thumbs up. If you are new here, please consider subscribing because you get shows like this.

You get the three week, three a week morning combats, you get my live chat and everything else in between BC's and gazillion interviews and a whole lot more.

Okay. Alright, so if you don't want spoilers, now is your time to go. If not, let's get this party started.

Oops, there we go. And we're back. Okay, let's put this up a little bit. There we go. Okay.

We have a lot to get to, although we'll probably go for about 45 minutes to an hour or so today. Let's turn this off. There we go. All right.

UFC 260 in the books. As I mentioned, if you didn't want spoilers, your chance to leave is gone. Let's get to the results.

Of course, this event took place at the UFC apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. We'll start with the main event.

We have a new UFC heavyweight champion, folks. Francis and gone who defeats Steve Emil, which be a KO at 52 seconds of round number two.

Alright, let's break it down. What is the biggest takeaway from Francis beating Steve A tonight in the way that he did?

Obviously, the biggest takeaway for me is going to be that Steve A, excuse me, that Francis has dramatically improved.

You knew he was putting in the work. This is a big question on morning combat all week. You knew he had put in the work.

You knew he was training hard, but could he deliver under pressure? Could Steve A find ways to trip him up with the moment be too big?

Did he get good enough, quite frankly, for all of that power to be married with something a little bit more than just, yes, it is quite ferocious his power.

But if you can marry it with the other things, patience, shot selection, take down defense, good cardio, good judgment, it becomes a whole lot more potent.

One thing we actually have never seen from, Francis, in the sense that the power is so good early, you didn't know if the power would carry.

Now early into the second round is an example, is in the best example I should say of power carrying, late into the fourth or fifth, but could he execute with each new iteration of challenge or round or whatever?

He looked awesome. He was clearly the better fighter of the two.

There was a single leg attempt. It looked like, I mean, it was a high crotch to a single. I have to go back and look that Steve A had tried to set up.

And Francis shoved the head in between, dropped his hips and then also grabbed across the waist and drove his hips down.

Put his feet behind him and was able to then not only stop the take down and get Steve A to get his hands released, he was able to then cut the corner, come around the back.
