Vitor didn't throw a strike for the first three minutes of the fight and when he finally did he threw a head kick and almost knocked Hendo out with it. Five or so punches later the fight was over. Vitor is the most dangerous coiled striker in the UFC. He keeps winning like this! Tex/Durkin was fun. Tex's boxing is on point. Cummins couldn't keep him down and wasn't faring well standing with him. Bad match up for him. Thomas Almedia is the next Renan Barao. Alex Oliveira has some similarities to Jon Jones in the way he fights. Very long, uses his arms to control his opponent. Bright future for him. Rashid Magomedov had a similar display to Tex. Very good boxer. Lacks killer instinct but continues to climb the lightweight ranks. Corey Anderson is raw but has a lot of potential. Fabio Maldonado is extremely one-dimensional and easy to game plan against. Didn't see any other fights but the main show was pretty good. Only felt bored during the first one when Anderson was Hendricks'ing Maldonado against the cage.
