Koch would NOT be denied! Honestly I think Koch makes a title run, I have a really good feeling about him. Looked really good, although against Shane Campbell (take nothing away from him). I don't like Koch to beat anyone in the top 5 but he is a tough out for anyone, and won't get eaten alive by anyone who's not McGregor, Frankie or Aldo

He's fighting at LW now.
I don't like Koch's chances against guys with a greater skill set than Campbell. I thought even Campbell could have beaten him, but for whatever reason he decided to attack the body and legs instead of the head. But I think Campbell is one of those guys who said he doesn't watch tape on his opponents . . .

You arent even reading what im saying, most people were picking Almeida because of Garbrandts previous fights. That's a fact. Fans, media, odds, all were on Almeida's side
In your head, you think im saying no one gave Cody a chance. wich is not what im saying at all, both got alot of picks. Sometimes Spidy, your head needs a break from thinking, this is one of those times

I thought Garbrandt could/would win as soon as the fight was announced. Almeida should have been favored and I'm sure he will come back and look sensational again in the future. People were sleeping on Cody. That performance surely woke them up.
another fight card where the underdogs come up trumps and This is why I love MMA
On any given night sh*t can change
And suckers on here still posting up days/weeks/months/. Before bouts how much of a sure thing some fights are gonna be and then coming with the usual " he just wasn't himself ". "That's not the fighter we have seen in the past " "round 1 k.o easy"

Well I didn't realize that! Lightweight division is an entirely different monster. He could be top 20 maybe, but top 15 is a stretch. We shall see!

Only watched this card last night, f---ing timezone bulls--- ensured this was on whilst I was at work. Anyways great card a lot of really exciting fights bar 1 or 2.
Really impressed with Caraway again, I had some coin on him at those ridiculous odds and he did not disappoint even after dropping the 1st round he came on strong and took it to Sterling for the last 2.
Masvidal/Larkin was also a very fun fight, both guys throwing serious heat hitting each other with everything and still standing strong. Was very close too I think it could have gone either way but Larkin I think landed the cleaner/harder shots.
Stephens/Barao was also quite a fun fight, Barao looked really good until Stephens caught him with that nasty power but Renan took those shots and kept coming both guys looking for the finish once again another fun fight.
Also loved the main event, I knew Almeida's chin wasn't great and Cody proved that albeit with a seriously nasty hook that probs would have dropped most guys but still great job by Cody for pushing forward and getting the finish.

The clue was really in the Pickett fight where straight boxing really hurt his Muai Thai game. I picked Almeida but not by much.
Cody's ability to close distance was absolutely outstanding. He's also a lot quicker than I thought.
So many possibilities for his next fight, Caraway, Dodson, Lineker/McDonald winner, Mizugaki or Jimmy Rivera are all great fights.
BW is f---ing STACKED!!!!!

I went to this event on Sunday and it was pretty live. I knew Garbrandt was gonna get this knockout though. Almeida is tough but i see a weak chin. Brad Picket almost took Almeida out before he got the flying knee. Garbrandt has star potential along with the possibilty of a future title shot. Just watch.
