Rogan's commentary is bad? You shock me. Did he by any chance mention calf kicks?

@Noxx 
because Dern got the takedown and controlled her for the last 2 minutes and sometimes the judges lean towards what they see at the end of the rounds. They made the right decision though

Rogan being his most annoying tonight. One whiff of a leg lock and he's ready to give the whole fight away. I can't even remember the last successful leg lock. I can remember many a leg locker being punched in the face over and over.

i’m shocked they made this fight on short notice in the first place UFC always tries to protect prospects and they might be the 2 best at 85

I get that it's always been trashy, but tonight is especially awful. He seems so disinterested in the fights, and he's having progressively more slipups in the post-fight interviews and all that (misquoting rounds)

Whitaker last finish was in 2017. It's time he gets a knockout.

I think that Kopylov will have a real shot rd1 because Hernandez starts slow, if he manages to touch up the body I think he will be in a pretty good spot but if doesn't manage to do damage Hernandez will wake up in the second and take over

Shabazyan survived until r3 and he has **** cardio and TD defense. I think Roman could potentially win here. His stand up I would say is better than Shabazyan + Roman has better TD defense.
