My Top 5 Takeaways From UFC 316.

Intro.

As this year goes into it's mid stage, This is when the worlds leading fight promotion ramps up all of it fast speed tactics as we head into International Fight Week. When this fight card got announced I was excited to see how it would play out, and I wasn't disapointed.

Hounourable Mention.

Some people might see this as sacrilidge, but with so many highlights, there isn't a lot of space to cram everything in, so with that I just want to say a massive congratulations to Kayla Harrison, who beat Juliana Pena to become the new UFC Womens Bantamweight Champion.

5. Joe Rogan Is Back.

I can't remember the last time when Joe Rogan last appeared on a UFC Broadcast, but it's great to see him back were he belongs. If you're a fighter it must feel like a dream, when hearing the words. I'm here with your winner being relayed to you.

4 Kevin Holland Is The Man.

Kevin Holland submitted Vincente Lique with ease, and he looked great at Welterweight.

3. Mark Kerr Gets His Flowers.

I was delighted to see that Mark Kerr will get his flowers this summer, when he gets inducted into the UFC Hall Of Fame. His biopic The Smashing Machine is out later this summer. The man has lead a hard life, filled with difficulty and addiction, and it's going to be fascinating to see how Dwayne The Rock Johnson, who acted as an Executive Producer, manages to navigate the story.

2. Mario Baustista beats Patchy Mix.

This was a disapointing mix from both fighters. Mario got the win, but if i'm both men, then I wouldn't be happy, one fighter didn't do enough, whilst the other had oppotunities to finish the fight, but didn't.

1. Merab Dvalishvili.

This guy needs to have respect put on his name, because he bullied Sean O'malley in a very one sided fight, to retain his UFC Bantamweight Champion. I was disapointed with O'malley's performance. I've been a fan of his for some time, so it was disapointing to see him turn in a performance like this.
