Summary

On today’s episode, I tell you why the fighter of the night on Saturday wasn’t somebody who won. Then, I react to the bantamweight title fight between Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov, and I explain why I believe Nurmagomedov won. And then, I talk about why Islam Makhachev's quick win over Renato Moicano, and why it wasn't as easy as it seemed. Also, after watching his impressive win over Kevin Holland, I want to see Reinier de Ridder fight Bo Nickal. Plus, a brawl in the stands came to a surprising resolution.
