They are in your corner with unlimited 5G data that will not slow you down. I am so like, I'm so like messed up right now because of what I just saw happen in a heavyweight title fight. The fight ended in a no contest between Tom Aspinall and Cyril Gahn due to an accidental eye poke. This is only the second UFC title fight in the 30 something year history of the company to end in a no contest. I mean the arena was on fire, the stage was set for something magical to happen. You had two guys that were primed and ready to go and fight for the most prestigious prize in all the fighting as Miles tries to strike back there and break stuff down. Liverpool got beat again today, so it's like becoming the norm. Every qualified reaction, Liverpool's getting beat. But the stage was set for something amazing to happen and we got.

Was one of the most anticlimactic finishes I've ever been a part of. But what we got up to that point was amazing. What we got to that point was very telling. What we got to that point was we got the opportunity to watch the two best heavyweights in the world fight for the championship in the ufc, right? Jon Jones isn't here. Francis Ngannou isn't here. The guys that we had in there right now are the two best in the world and they fought like it. Cyril Gan fought tonight like we expected him to fight against Jon Jones. He Defended takedowns. He was landing his strikes and Tom Aspinall got his off too. Tom Aspinall was landing. Tom Aspinall actually seemed happy, smiling to be in there with someone that was extending him and pushing him to a place where that he really hadn't been. Look, man, Ciryogan was there to fight. From the very start of this fight, you recognize that Cyril wasn't going to be on his bike like we have seen him in some of his more recent fights. This looked like the Cyril gone that went to fight Tai Tuivasa, that went forward, took the center of the octagon and started using his movement to really give Tom some problems. I know we didn't get to see the fight long, but in what we saw, that was going to be the toughest fight of Tom Aspinall's career. And I can say that very confidently because I saw him with his face, nose all bloody from a jab of Cirogon, who landed it multiple times over the course of that first round. I saw Tom Aspinall land some nasty stuff too. I saw him landing some jabs of his own. I saw him landing some kicks. I saw Tom Aspinall throw a high kick. I've never seen him throw a high kick. And it's partly because he's never had to throw a high kick. There are layers to these guys games that we have to find only when they're fighting someone that not only deserves to be in there with them, but can extend them to a point where, where they have to use all of their weapons. Tonight, Tom was kicking more, he was trying to wrestle more. He was doing so many things differently because he had to. Unfortunately, Cirogon seemed prepared for all of that and he was fighting better than we have seen him fight in a long time. A no contest and heavyweight title fight feels like something was left on the table, but it does open up opportunities for us to get this on what might even be a bigger stage. We could reschedule these guys for January, the first big paramount card. If Tom Aspinall is okay, you put the heavyweight title fight on there. You want to start a new deal, that's how you start a new deal. I was just in the back. Seragon was very emotional, guys. He was crying because of a missed opportunity. I spoke to his coach, Fernand Lopez, which will be at the end of the interview, so stick around, and he shared his thoughts on what was happening and I will speak to Tom's coaches. Also, I saw Tom Aspinall. His right eye is covered in A bandage because he cannot open it still. We're 20 minutes past the fight ending, and what's crazy about that is his other eye was the one where his hand went knuckle deep. The right side was scraped down more. The left side was the one that went knuckle deep and really would have been hard to deal with if not for the pain. He was seen on the other side. Tom was very upset that people were booing, and then people saw the replay and were like, wait a minute, maybe we should be booing the other guy. Then they booed Cyril gone. But Cyril was emotional. He wanted this fight. This was what this fight was, everything that these guys had asked for. Hopefully we can reschedule this and get these dudes locked in the octagon again to determine who's the baddest man on the planet. They will both be better for it. I know they didn't spend a lot of time in that octagon, but there were some things that you could take from it, especially if the turnaround is relatively quick. Man, what an ending. You could have asked me for a hundred endings. I don't know if I would have ever came to that. A no contest in the very first round due to eye pokes. Unreal. Mackenzie Dern became the strawweight champion of the world today. Beat Vena Janjadoba 323 2. In terms of rounds 48, 47, 48, 47, and 49, 46, four rounds to one felt different because the other people scored it three to two. McKenzie won the fifth round, but 49, 46 didn't feel that bad to me. Janje Dova had her moments, but Mackenzie Dern was the aggressor. While she got taken down. She was the one that was punching off of her back. She was the one still trying to do damage, so it felt like the right person won regardless of what the score said. Mackenzie Dern is now a strawweight champion. She has had expectation pushed on her from the moment she decided to fight mixed martial arts, which, by the way, didn't happen by her choice. She was asked by Sean Shelby to fight mixed martial arts, and now she has taken that career and become a world champion in the ufc, which is amazing when you think about all of her accomplishments in jiu jitsu. It really is amazing what this young lady has accomplished. And then the moment she got with her daughter Moa inside the Octen, I was nuts. She has fought a lot of times in the UFC now, and she has lost in the ufc, but she has never lost in front of that little girl. That's her. Why? A lot of fighters find their why and when they do, it's hard to beat them. Tonight McKinsey became a champ in front of her daughter. She can't lose in front of her. Why? Let's see how long she can do that and maintain that championship. Umar Nurmagomedov got beat by Mario Bautista and it was a much closer fight than Umar expected. He even said it. I underestimated him but he got the job done. He was able to take him down, he was able to mix it up, he was able to do what he intended to do and get a dub but it was harder than expected. I said Umar got beat. Yeah. No, I didn't. Well, if I said Umar got beat, sorry guys. Umar Nur Megaminov beat Mario Batista today in a decision in a fight that was much harder than he thought it was going to be. But ultimately I thought he looked pretty good, man. He was able to land takedowns, he was able to control. He was able to show that even on a night when things aren't going exactly the way he planned for them to go, he could push through it and make things happen. I like this post fight interview when he said I tried to do what Khabib would do and I don't understand how we did it. He goes after doing this tonight and not being able to control in the way this man did, I felt like an amateur. Tonight was an eye openening for me and I think that that self reflection, that ability to judge yourself that truthfully is going to help Umar and Omega Medov as he goes forward in his career. He's looking to hopefully get another chance at the champion. Regardless of if it's Pyotr Yanima, Rob Dualasvili, I think tonight that win puts him going in that direction. So hats off to Umar. I know he was judging himself pretty hard but I thought he did pretty good. Great job, kid. Alexander Volkov B J guys ja scored takedown after takedown but he wasn't able to get damage off on Alexander Volkov. I said something about J el Meda this week when I was speaking to Tom Aspinall and I, I, I want to apologize to Jay Olten because I didn't mean that. I was talking about how he's not necessarily fighting, he's grappling, right? It's a fight and when you're in there, even though you can secure takedowns, you have got to do damage. And I felt horrible about that which I openly. Because he's always been so respectful and so nice to me and I hope there, there comes a point where I can make that up to him and making that joke almost. Sometimes you got to be careful with what you say about people, especially when you don't intend to offend them. With that being said though, I thought he lost that fight, scored takedowns, but he didn't do much with those takedowns and Volkov was the one that was trying to do damage and ultimately that cost him. I think tonight was a big tell in what judges are looking for today. They are value and damage over everything regardless if you are on your back. And that is exactly the way it's supposed to be. Just takedowns will not be enough anymore for these guys and that's amazing. Azamat Mirzakhanov knocked out Alexander Rakic. That was tremendous. Ikumel Oscarov got a decision over Jung Young park. Answered a lot of questions. Ludovic Klein and Matias Rubezki had one of the greatest fights I've ever seen. Ron Becky is one of the craziest dudes ever. Take a break though, man. Get some rest. You've taken a lot of damage over the last 13 weeks. Valter Walker with another heel hook. That's four in a row, guys. Ruth Mapajaras has four heel hook submissions but never four in a row. Most he ever got in a row was two big. Valter just killed that and said he wants to fight against Hamdi Abdul Wahadu. He said beat up on Black Peppa Pig, talking about Chris Barnard, which is actually the most ridiculous thing ever. Great fight by Nathaniel Wood and Miguel Jose. Miguel Delgado was fun. Azat Maxim got beat by Mitch Raposo. First UFC win in a decision win for Mizuki. Guys, now it's time for my total wireless performance of the night. I skipped over Quillen Salkill and that was because he is, I mean, my performance of the night. He knocked out Nasrad Hakaras, who was on a five fight win streak in one of the nastiest, most violent knockouts I have seen in a really long time. Head kick puts him out. Hakbaras is laying on the ground, guys, for 10 to 12 minutes. It was one of the scariest knockouts I've seen in a long time. I pulled South Kield over to the other side of the Octagon, so we didn't have to see him laying on the ground as we're doing an interview. This game is crazy and when you see things like that, it reminds you of how dangerous it is we watch the best fighters in the world every single week. Tonight we saw a knockout that does not happen often or anything that violent. Doesn't happen that often. Unbelievable night from Abu Dhabi. It's always great. And yeah, I'm gonna go home now. Try to get some rest before I jump on this flight. Try to get back to California UFC 321 delivered guys until we get to New York City like subscribe and tell your friends about my YouTube channel. I'm doing this giving you access and talking to the fighters. Like I said, stick around. Talk to Fernand Lopez and all the coaches. Till next time. A no contest in the UFC title fight. Unbelievable. Till next time. Peace.
