All right, guys, UFC 310 is in the books, and Alessandra Pantoja once again shows why he's the man. You know, there was so much unknown about, about Kaya Sakura that you didn't know how the champion would handle the new challenge. He handled it wonderfully. The first round starts. Pantoja's on the gas like he normally is. Beats Oscar in the striking. Is able to secure some takedowns, but not necessarily do much with the position, but he was able to get takedowns. But in that round, his striking looked really, really good. Second round, he takes him down again. This time he goes beautiful transition from takedown to body triangle to rear naked choke. You know, this man, Alessandre Pantoja has shown time and time again that he is the best in the world. You know, every time he has a challenge, we wonder aloud whether or not this is the guy that's going to be able to beat him. You know, I look at my notes here, and Pantoja's last fight was against Ur. Gave him a hell of a time. But in the fifth round, Pantoja made adjustments, got it done. He beat Brandon Roy Val to defend his belt and it was a shutout. The first time he finished him. The second time he completely shut him out. Split decision over Moreno. Beat Alex Perez. I mean, all this man has done is win. You know, he's one of the nicest guys in the world. He's also one of the best fighters in the world, and he continues to tell people that he's the best. And it's like people don't want to believe it. I think at this point, we need to take this man. Hold on a second. At his word. Let's see. Because my camera's always messed up. That's. That's my fault. There we go. Gotta take him at his word, right? When he tells us he's the best. You boys see Miles again? Him and I are playing a fantasy this week, and I'm beating him. So let's keep it up. Maybe you guys will see him in an arsenal jersey soon. But let's take this man in his word. He's the best. He's shown it time and time again, and it's gonna be very difficult to get that belt off of him. I really don't know who's gonna beat him. He had a very interesting call out after his fight. He said, demetrius Johnson, I am the man. Now. I respect you. I know you were the best, but this is my division. You want to try yourself and see improve, you're the best. Come back, let's fight. I gotta tell you something. I'm buying that all day because Demetrius Johnson was the man. And you know what they also said? John said something very interesting. He said, when DJ was doing what he was doing, I never would have thought that we would have gotten to a point where we start to wonder whether or not somebody else could become the greatest flyweight of all time. He's not there yet, but he's getting very close. He's got nine wins inside the top 10. That's why Oscar got that title fight. There was nobody else to fight him. There was nobody else to fight this guy. He had beaten them all. Alexandre Van Told is the best, and he once again holds on to his championship and goes off to the holidays with his family. And he's not all beat up. Co main event, we had Ian Machado, Gary versus Shavkat Rachmanov, and it was good. It was a good fight. It picked up late. Machado Garrett will look back on this and be very disappointed at the way that he managed round one and two. Because in round one and two, not much happened at all. But the few things that did happen was enough to give Shavkat those rounds. Shavkat did a better job in round four getting takedowns. But in round five, Machado Gara was pressing, making him work, and he almost got A submission that was exciting. When you get guys that know each other really well, there's a danger that the fight could turn into something that you kind of expect. If, you know mixed martial arts, where it's almost like a chess match and it's not as fun, that's kind of what we got with these two tonight. Bal comes into the ring, Shavkat wants to face off. But I gotta be honest, it was weird. It was weird. I don't love face offs when you have a translator, especially when Bilal, as much as people want to hate him, he's not a disrespectful guy. So it doesn't make that moment that you're looking for when you bring a champion in the ring. You know, when Volt came in after Toporia beat Max, they shook hands and they left. It was very respectful, right? But you understood what they were saying when O'Malley, right, was in there after beating out before, when he's about to fight Aljo for the belt, Maraud takes the jacket. That makes a memory. This tonight, I don't think it served the purpose that you want as a promotion in regards to what you're going to do to try to build that fight. But if I'm Bilal Muhammad, I'm actually kind of happy watching this fight tonight because Shavkat Rahmanov did not look like himself. Even though I learned after that he had an injury. I think he might have tore his MCL going into the fight. Granted, with a torn ligament in your knee, you're not gonna look like the killer that you look like in fights prior. I got all my results here. Cyril gone beat Alexander Volkov. Bad decision. I agree. I agree it was a bad decision. What I don't agree with, though, is like, it's the most egregious decision we've ever seen. Once again, it's hard to be up in arms whenever. Not much happens in the rounds. I understand Volkov was very pissed. They didn't even went over to him and said something to him. I would imagine that conversation was, you got holds. I'm not opposed to Volkov winning, but I promise you, I didn't feel as bad because I just didn't think there was as much separation as there needed to be in that fight. That's the problem with fighters at times. They don't separate themselves so clearly that the judges can't take it from them. And if anyone thinks that there was a round in that fight outside of round three, when Volkov clearly won, that was easy to judge. You're crazy. It was a hard fight to judge because not much happened. That's the God honest truth. So be up in arms all you want. I don't think you should. Bryce Mitchell with the beautiful slam on Krone Gracie hits him with two nasty elbows. But even that, right Krone Gracie out there pulling guard. He's pulling guard. That's that. That's such a weird style of fighting, especially in mma. Maybe in jiu jitsu you pull guard, but in mma, you can't be pulling guard. You just put yourself in danger to get hurt by someone. And tonight Bryce Mitchell hurt him when he pulled guard, got his elbow across his throat and bang. Then elbow. Boom, boom. Fights over duo Choi looked very good tonight against Nate Landware. Got the job done. Beautiful tko. You know, he was really beating him up. He got him in the crucifix. Crucifixion in the UFC doesn't happen very often. Tonight we saw one from DO who joined. Honestly, that's exactly what you would think with the way that this fight was playing out. Dominic Reyes beat Anthony Smith. Anthony Smith should not have been fighting. He looks so sad walking to the Octagon. I'm happy that he's healthy. I'm happy that he's okay. I'm happy that he's doing good. After the fight, didn't take that much damage. But when a guy can't. When a guy can't not cry on the way to the Octagon, then the emotions are too fresh. I'm glad he didn't get himself seriously hurt. But that's up to Dominic Reyes getting another victory and really moving his career back in the right direction. Looking more like the guy that fought such a close fight against Jon Jones way back in the day. Vicente Luque got a submission. Hats off to him, beating Timotharimbo. Hey. Mobsar Voyev and Al Jermaine Sterling was one of the most high level grappling matches in the UFC I've ever seen. It was amazing to watch. And if you understand high level grappling and wrestling, you got to watch a true exhibition of two guys doing it at the highest level. Hats off to Brian Battle. Got it done. Eric Anders getting the biggest win of his career. Joshua Van could be a real problem for a lot of people. At 125. Michael Kiesta getting another submission. Clay Guida got submitted by Chase Hooper. Nasty. Chase Hooper's actually really good now. And lastly, Kennedy and Zetchiku recreating and restarting his career as a heavyweight. Look phenomenal tonight. With a beautiful right hook that dropped Lucas Jesky. Guys, another year is in the books here at the UFC for me and I am thankful for you guys. You guys really do make my life and my job easy. So Merry Christmas to each and every one of you. Enjoy your family. Be with your loved ones. Hug them, kiss them. Never let a day pass without them knowing how much they mean to you. I will thank you guys forever for helping me as you did. And it's on the 2025 where we get Makachev vs Shrukyan and Marab vs Umar Nurmega Med off.
