    A few stand-outs tonight.

    John Dodson ran through Manny Gamburyan but I still don't like his chances against the top guys in that division.

    Cub Swanson fought well. Good come back victory for him.

    Mike Chiesa's submission win was excellent.

    Khabib doing Khabib things. Bit of a slow start for him but once he got into gear he was unstoppable. This tune up serves him well in the long run I think.

    Didn't see the girls fight.

    Main event was a bit shocking. Has Evans slipped this much? I don't see where he goes from here. Tex/Rumble sounds like a good fight to me.

    Rashad is shot. He needs to get an easy fight, win it, and then hang them up.

    I loved Glover's win and his call out of Rumble. I think that is a GREAT free main event or a great co headliner for UFC 201. Let's get that fight booked, please. I think Glover takes it if he can survive the first round and a half or so.

    Khabib was solid, as expected. I hope he can remain healthy until Ramadan is over and get in there with RDA.

    Chiesa's sub win was awesome. That looked incredibly painful.

    Dana said Rashad is probably retiring after this. Said he has been on the fence for awhile about retiring and this probably solidifies that.

    Makes sense cause I haven't seen the passion for it anymore in his body language for this fight or bader.

    That guy looked like he was almost in tears last night in all of his interviews.
