My Top 5 Thoughts From Monday Night Raw.

Intro.

You guys know that I hate having to say this, but i've had to push this piece back, because yesterday I was trying to get Luke Combs tickets. I know that isn't an excuse, but I feel that I have deversed a treat, and I failed, because I couldn't get one, so it looks like its general sale for me then.

5. Seth Rollins Segment.

As the way of how opening segments go, this was decent, and it acted as a great way to set up what was going to come later. Seth put himself over, whilst embracing Aussie swearing, giving Paul Heyman his flowers, and leaving his other Vision members in the rearview. This would backfire on him later on. I do have one question though. Why did they waste so much pyro on Seth? I mean they him loads on Saturday at the PLE, Plus check out that fine bathrobe that Seth was wearing.

4. Dirty Dom Is Still The IC Champion.

This was a shenanigans filled fun ride, that made me laugh. Let me explain. Penta got launched into the expensive seats, and this made me think. If he wanted a ticket he could've just paid like everyone else. Rusev came out, and this allowed Dirty Dom to become Handy Andy, and win because he had a hammer. Can you tell that I had fun watching this.

3. I Love Heel Asuka.

From Costing Kairi her Match against Rhea Ripley, to giving her a good hard slap, for her losing them their Match against Iyo Sky, and Rhea Ripley at Crown Jewell. Heel Asuka is the best.

2. UFC Fighters At Ringside.

The UFC Welterweight, and. Featherweight Champions. Jack Magdelana, and. Alexander Volkanovsky were sat at ringside. These guys probably didn't have to pay for their tickets. I mean some people get all the luck. These are two of my favourite UFC Fighters in the pressent day, and deserve their success.

1. Jey Uso vs LA Knight vs Cm Punk.

Cm Punk got the win, after a series of exchanges and he will face Seth Rollins at a later date, or so I thought. The Vision came out, and Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed wrecked everyone, Seth teased Punk, ande then Bron Breakker sphered Seth out of his boots, turning on his mentor. WWE came under in the Summer after Seth's cash in Debackle at Summerslam, because they thought that they played the media at their own game, when actually it was a complete work, however this wasn't a work. Seth injured his shoulder during his Crown Jewel Championship Match against Cody Rhodes, and judging from what has come out in the media, he's going to have to get surgery, which means he could be out for some time. 

 My Top 5 Times When Pro Wrestling Tried To Tackle Serious Issues.

Intro.

In the realm of Pro Wrestling, the term serious issues is something that back in the 90's would get laughed at. I would like to think that in our year of 2025 this is a thing of the past, but we live in times when if you make a post, things can be relived, for the good and the bad.

5. MJF Anti Semitism.

This shocked me. In a Segment from October 2023. MJF was physically, and verbally assaulted by Jay White, and the rest of this Bang Bang Gang. Max stood by the story, as it shone a nasty light on just how Jewish people are treated.

4. Hangman Adam Page Alcoholism And Mental Health.

As 2020 was developing under awful circumstances. AEW managed to shine a light on what it was like to be an alcoholic with mental health issues. As the build to an overarching ancor of a story, that led to Hangman Adam Page eventually beating his tormentor Kenny Omega, this made for excellent TV, whilst acting as a reminder that if you're going through issues, then remember it's ok, to not be ok, and to talk.

3. Misogyny. Various Promotions.

Misogyny in Pro Wrestling isn't new, it's been a thing since the days of Randy Savage silencing his valet Ms Elizabeth, and since the mid eighties this became the norm in this industry, fast forward to 1998-2002, that we were treated to an old man mounting a woman in WCW. Sexual Humiliation in the year 2000 on WWF TV, things got worse in 2002 when HHH screamed in Stephanie Mcmahons face, and even in the pressent day in AEW we got the many comments of one Dan Lambert. I don't think this industry learned from past times.

2. Death.

Who remembers the Big Shows Dad's funeral? ( Patrick stop laughing ) Oh just me then. This is not how you deal with death.

1. Alcoholism.

When I watched this back. It made me feel like the 1996 that i remember was a distant memory, and i'm right because there's no way that Jake Roberts addiction issues would be made fun of today. I remember hearing Josh Schwartz the creator of The OC once say, that if you don't put sensitive topics on TV, then no one talks about them, and I believe that there's some truth to that, but this was bad. Vince Mcmahon even tried at one point to defend Jerry Lawlers bullying of on his Roberts Pick Your Poison DVD released back 2006, as an educational message for Children who have parents that are addicts, and all I have to say is this. Yeah right. Issues like this need to be worn with cotton gloves, and handled with care.

My Top 5 Moments From WWE Crown Jewel.

Intro.

With Wrestlemania taking place in Saudi Arabia in 2027, I thought that it would be a matter of time when Riyadh season would start to use WWE in this regime, in the same way that they have done boxing. I think this a clear sign that sport washing is a worldwide thing that shows no sign of slowing down.

5. Aussie Street Bronson Reed vs Roman Reigns.

What do you get when you add, steel chairs, tables, a grinning Paul Heyman, weapon induced plunder, and cameos from Bron Breakker, and The Usos, well if you're answer is a fun outing that in my opinion is better than their Clash In Paris, then you're right. This was a lot of fun, and it's done the job when you think about the build going into Survivor Series. Bronson got the win, after Jey accidentally sphered Roman through a table, allowing Bronson to get the win.

4. Mens and Womens Crown Jewell Matches.

These were a real study in sports contrast, from Seth cheating to get the win against Cody, and on the otherside Stephanie Vaquer had another star making performance against Tiffany Stratton. Seth Rollins vs Cody Rhodes fell into the realm of predictability, whilst the Womens go around felt fresh, vibrant, and a breath of fresh air. 

3. Iyo Sky And Rhea Ripley vs Asuka And Kairi Sane Was A Dud.

I didn't like this. I just felt flat, and it was a real shame, because i'm a fan of all involved. The live crowd seemed to like this, but for me, this fell short of the matter in a big way.

2. Aussie Fans Swearing.

Now I know that it's not my place to tell fans how to act, when attending Pro Wrestling shows, but my God Aussie fans out do anyone when it comes to one thing. Swearing. You guys that were in attendence sounded on fire when you called Bronson Reed. Asuka, and. Seth Rollins a wanker. I love a bit of good old fashioned swearing. I love f bombs

1. Cena And Styles Ripped Up The Rule Book.

I loved this. From the call backs to Johns past rivalry's, both men having fantastic duals, physical chemistry, and top grade banter. Cena got the win, and the fans loved it.

Classic PPV Top 5 Post 6. UFC 137 Penn vs Diaz.

Intro.

October 2011 was a time wasn't. Manchester United were starting to show cracks in their system. Coldplay released Paradise, their worst song, out of a litany of bad songs, and kids were taking part on The Apprentice, and. The UFC stepped up with another stomper of a PPV. This was a strong month for the company, and show was the proof.

5. Were Is Hatsu Hioki And George Roop.

After retiring from fighting he invested his own money into nabis enterprises, were he owns a facility, that produces cannabis for medicinal purposes, whilst Hatsu Hioki is still active in the fight game, and owns a gym in Nagoya Japan.

4. Were Is Scott Jorgensen.

Scott is not actively fighting for a major promotion, but he's helping younger fighters, at his gym Combat, and he co owns an SBG Ibaho. I like hearing stories like this, because it's proof that there's life after the fight game.

3. Roy Nelson Is My Guy.

On the commentary you could here Joe Rogan, and. Mike Goldberg say. You know that there's someone at home with a bag of chips in their hand with a beer, saying Roy Nelson he's my guy. Never has a truer sentence ever been spoken.

2. What Is Matt Mitrione Up To These Days.

From what I could Gather. Matts last fight in MMA was back in November of 2021, and from what I could understand he was training to be a firefighter. This is yet another example of life continuing after the fight game.

1. BJ Penn Has A Ruined Legacy.

I feel sad watching this fight, knowing what I know. BJ would say that he was done with fighting in his Joe Rogan Post Interview. This would be something that I feel would come back to haunt The Prodigy. He would go to have a series of bad performances against the likes of. Rory Mcdonald. Frankie Edgar, and. Clay Guida. The UFC released him from his contract, after a video surfaced of him taking part in a legit street fight in 2016.

AEW Title Tuesday Review 8.10.2025

Hangman Adam Page And Samoa Joe Face To Face.

I liked this. Both men pulled on the power of reflection, and the importance of being real. These two have had great counteractions before this, and this followed suite. I liked all of this, and it worked to get me hyped for their Match at WrestleDream. This was passion, fire, and, grace personified. Great stuff from both men.

I Love Mark Briscoe.

I don't care what anyone thinks, because I love Mark Briscoe, and if you don't get hyped up after watching him like this in full promo mode, then I don't know what to tell you.

Jon Moxley vs Tomohiro Ishii.

This was a balanced out affair, that resembled like two big men slapping meat. The physicality was solid, and the near falls fell into place nicely. Mox got the win with a Bulldog choke.

Renee Paquette Muggs Off The Young Bucks.

I love this arc that The Young Bucks are on at this minute. Now they can't even get a word with Tony Khan. Their our founding fathers, and just like Rodney Dangerfield, they get no respect.

The Demand vs The Hurt Syndicate Street Fight.

When you take a look at the lore of these type of Matches at Daily's Place, their very rich, so going into this I had high hopes, and it delivered massively. Ricochet going flying. The concrete setting being used to full effect, to the weapon induced plunder being the main selling point of the Match. The Hurt Syndicate got the win.

The Damn It Don Callis Family.

I've decided to rename The Damn It Don Callis, Family, and this is their new name is this. The Don Callis World Order, because by God there's loads of them.

Jurassic Express vs Local Jobbers.

Jurassic Express, beat some local Jobbers in a flat TV, and were then beaten down by The Young Bucks, this led to them Challenging the prehistoric ones to a Tag Team Match, at Wrestledream. This Match is going to be amazing.

Kyle Fletcher vs Kyle O'reilly AEW TNT Championship.

I didn't like this. I just couldn't get into this Match. I just didn't feel its urgentcy. Fletcher retained. The Don Callis World Order then attacked, and this made Tony Khan put Kyle Fletcher in a Match against Mark Briscoe for the TNT Championship at WrestleDream. I liked this development.

Mercedes Mone vs Lacey Lane AEW TBS Championship.

This was decent, and it was great to see the former Kayden Karter move over to AEW after getting released from WWE, and she was a great spoil for Mercedes. This Match suprised me, because It managed to get me invested, and I never thought that it would. Mercedes retained.

Double Jeopady Eliminator Match Brodido vs Konosuke Takeshita.

This was a winner takes it all situation, when you dig beneath the surface. It wasn't a title defense. It was a giude to were AEW are taking Takeshita and Okada. I think that they will de the Marque setting for Full Gear, and it makes sense. This Match was centred around the theme of seperation, that will get to AEW to it's bigger destination. The physicality was superb, and the near falls were great. Brodido retained in a solid TV Match. They will have a rematch at WrestleDream. This is going to be another fire Match.

Pac vs Orange Cassidy.

Even though I liked the work that was in front of me, I did feel that it has brought an unwanted highlight that AEW needs to look at. For most of the Match, the fans were quiet, throughout the early stages of this Match and that's quite telling, when you isolate it. Darby Allin played a major part in how this Match came to an end, that allowed Cassidy to get the win. Darby then got attacked by The Deathriders, he escaped, and then we were left with the image of Darby getting put to the ground, after he threatened them with a molotov cocktail. This was a class way to end the show.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday.

This broadcast was a lot of fun, and a good reminder of just how great weekly TV can be on a level with Major PPV moments.

AEW Dynamite Title Tuesday is a solid 8/10.

 Monday Night Raw Review 7.10.2025.

Roman Kicks Off The Show.

Roman kicked off the show, and before he could get a word out, after getting the Dallas crowd to acknowledge him, out came Bronson Reed, and if i'm being honest. I was bored by this whole segment. It felt like a rinse and repeat of what the fans in Birmingham got in late August. A fight ended the segment, before Paul Heyman said at Crown Jewel they will meet in an Australian Street Fight. Both men then had a fight. Even though I didn't like this segment, and talking about Romans family has become a bit repetitve,  it did set up a decent episode long storythread.

Superstars Seen Showing Up.

Cm Punk. Lyra Valkyria, and. Iyo Sky were all seen showing up to work, and these guys were in for an evening in their own rights.

Asuka Is A Bully.

I'm loving Heel Asuka. And the way that she dumped on Kairi Sane, looked like an older sibling bullying a younger sister. Iyo Sky would lose to Kairi later on in the broadcast, thanks to Asuka in what was a solid outing.

Becky Lynch vs Maxine Dupri.

I had low expectations for this Match, but oh my, were they blown away. Maxine looked like a day and night performer, and much improved. For the standard of a TV Match this was excellent. However the finish was a let down. Maxine got the win because Becky got counted out. What came later on, was Becky venting backstage. This led to Seth Rollins, and Paul Heyman having a burner of a mini segment. I liked that, because it showed HHH's hand at trying the spinning plate trick when it comes to booking.

Lyra ValKyria vs Roxanne Perez. 

I didn't like this. The Match felt clunky, and a bit off. The Bayley got taken out by Raquel Rodriguez, and that was the only highlight. Roxanne got the win with her poprocks finish. Raquel got decked later on by Lyra.

AJ Styles Segment.

Dom Mysterio is the coolest idiot working today. I mean he interrupted AJ's Segment with his Judgement Day faction, whilst giving me flash backs to 2005. Please WWE put that t shirt on euroshop.

Cm Punk Segment.

Now don't get me wrong. I hate promotrains, but this one actually got to the point. Cm Punk was first out, and he thanked the fans for supporting AJ upon her return, and asking the fans if he was missed, he stated his plans for the rest of the year, as he plans on ending the year, as he started beating Seth Rollins. LA Knight then came, and this felt like a kareoke session, singing to Everything I Do. I Do It For You. His part felt comical, but it needed to be, because he also wants to get to Seth as well. This was when Jey Uso came out, and laid his claim to be next in line to Seths belt. Jimmy came out, after Knight had insulted him, and Jey Super kicked his face off. Punk ended this segment, by saying that he wants to face Jey, and not little Roman. I liked this.

Cody And Seth Video Package.

I loved this. These video packages that WWE have been presenting lately, minus the Brock and Cena ones on Smackdown have been great, and this was no exception.

Penta. Dragon Lee, and AJ Styles vs The Judgement Day.

This felt very standard in my opinion, from its clunky start up, all the way to its execution. This failed to live up to my expectations. AJ got the win for his team with a styles clash to JD Mcdonagh. AJ then took to the mic. He said exactly what was on my mind. Him and Cena is going to be fire.

The Usos vs Cm Punk And LA Knight.

This was a poor excuse of a main event. This fell well below any form of standard. The Physicality was standard, and all four mens chemistry went by the same way. Knight and Punk got the win, after Knight took the pin away from Punk, when he hit Jey with a Go To Sleep.

Overview Of Monday Night Raw.

I don't know what to make of this broadcast. I thought that this was very flat show, and going into a major PLE this weekend. This simply isn't good enough.

This weeks Monday Night Raw Is a Sorry 5/10.

My Top 5 On Thoughts on UFC 320.

Intro.

This has been an interesting weekend, as I sit here writing this on a Monday Lunchtime. I was due to write this up yesterday morning, but given the fact that I was hungover after watching Parkway Drive at the OVO Wembley Arena on Saturday Night, so I had to push this back. Man Saturday was epic.

5. RIP Arthur Jones.

Over the past week. The UFC was saddened to hear passing of Arthur Jones, the brother of Jon Jones. Arthur was a former NFL player, who passed away at the age of 39. My thoughts are with his loved ones at this time.

4. Joe Pyfer Wow.

This was an excellent way to start the main card. Joe Pyfer looked awesome here, and his submission win over Abus Namagnomedov was a suprise. It was a suprise because You would think that someone with the second name of Namagnomedov would've had a better ground game. Joe made this look easy.

3. Josh Emmett Verbally Taps Out.

Youssef Bulal, made Josh Emmett verbally tap out. This shocked me, because you would'nt expect this from a seasoned fighter. Some fans would argue that this showed a lack of desire, but if you ask me. This shows a fighter knowing when to say when, and Josh shouldn't be slammed for that.

2. Jiri Prochazka Is The No1 Contender For The Light Heavyweight Championship Crown.

This was given the fight of the night honours, and was an excellent war of nutrition, that had me engrosed from the start. This to me wasn't just the fight of the night, because to me both men put forward a solid effort, but it was Jiri who got the win after he caught James Roundtree Jnr with a solid left hook, that rocked him. This allowed Jiri to finish the job by knockout.

1. Main Event, And Co Main.

Both of these fights were a study in contrast. On one side we had the one man dismanting that came from Merab Dvalishvili, as he owned Cory Sandhagen on the ground, on his way to retaining the Bantamweight Championship, whilst Alex Pereira got his belt back, after he knocked out Magamed Ankalaev. Both of these fights delivered, and they were a great way to end the UFC's best PPV of the year.

Classic PPV Post 5 TNA Bound For Glory 2012.

5. Opening Video.

As a fan of Pro Wrestling for most of my life. The one thing that always got me going was the video intro packages, and this one for TNA Bound For Glory 2012 was awesome. Go and check this out if you can.

4. Were is Zima Ion.

Zima can be watched in WWE as Jaquin Wilde. On this night he had a fun Match for the X Division Championship against Rob Van Damme, in which he would lose his belt. Zima. I'm not sure why he left TNA, but he exited the company in 2018, he worked on the indy scene throughout 2019,  until 2020 when he signed for the WWE, were he works as Jaqauin wilde.

3. Bobby Roode vs James Storm.

This was one of the best Matches of the year in any promotion. It was a bloodsoaked piece of master stroke booking, that echoed with the savage violence shown in its storytelling. This was one of my favourite Matches of that year, and as it turned out Big Daddy Dave Meltzer gave it a 4.5 stars in his rating system. So yeah great minds think a like.

2. #Speakingout.

As I sat down to watch the dvd to do the research for this piece. I was sickened. In 2020 the Pro Wrestling industry was rocked after a series of allegations of Sexual Misconduct were levied against Wrestlers across many promotions. It started off from the UK scene, and within hours it had gone global. A man that was featured heavily on this card was Joey Ryan. Joey was released from Impact in July of that year, whilst Austin Aries would also face similar allegations. He would be let go from TNA, and WWE due to attitude issues.

1. The Rebirth Of Jeff Hardy.

The Story of Mr Jeffrey Nero Hardy can only be decribed in some words. Complicated. Controversial, and. Conflicting. His first run in WWE ended in controversy back in April of 2003, due to his poor in ring work, and behavorial issues. He would be brought back to the promotion in 2006, on a three year deal, and was then released again. This time it was due drug dependency issues that resulted in Jeff being charged with drug posession. He would be allowed to work for TNA 5 months after this, but in the background his case was getting worse along with his addiction issues. This would end with the Victory Road situation. Jeff went to the ring in no state to perform. This would get Hardy suspended from the company. He returned at Bound For Glory 2011, and would instantly be put in a programme against Jeff Jarrett. This would start his return arc, that would see him have matches against Bobby Roode, and. Kurt Angle, in the months that led up to this showcase. He beat Austin Aries to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. This was inspiring to me. I've never had addiction issues, but I have had learning issues that have plagued my life, so watching Jeff Overcome his struggles during this period. said to me that you can overcome anything if you put your mind to it.

AEW Dynamite Review 2.10.2025.

This Was A Class Look.

This show opened up with looking incredible. I love this bowl look, and how it made the show feel intimate. AEW please book more of these style venues.

6 Man Tag Match Brodido And Kenny Omega vs Josh Alexander And The Elite.

I loved this. From the comedy beforehand, to the bucks getting mugged off again by the production guys, oh and hello Brandon Cutler. I have a little bit advice for Nick Jackson. In the words of Brandon Flowers from The Killers. The house always wins. This Match was excellent, from all six men making me feel like a nine year old, when they did the mackerena, to the physicality, and the Matches within the Match all allowing the Match to have time to breathe. After a fantastic final series of exchanges Kenny got the win for his team with an one winged angel. The aftermath was even more entertaining. Jurassic Express came out, and instantly took out The Young Bucks. Jack Perry squared up to Kenny, which resulted in both men having a shoving Match. Kenny then took us all on a trip down memory lane, with his promo, as he talked about what the future holds, whilst thanking fans, with passion, a due, and a bang. Only this wasn't the end, because the lights went out, and their stood a hooded figure, as the lights came back on he revealed himself to be a returning Andrade El Idolo. This is complete Keyfabe. Andrade was fired by WWE last month, so he wouldn't have a non compete clause in his contract, if i'm not mistaken. He then joined The Damn It Don Callis.

6 Year Video Package.

This was very well produced, and it worked as a great trip through the first six years of Dynamite. Also cool soundtrack by Garbage.

Mark Briscoe.

Ok, i'm just going to say it. I love Mark Briscoe, and he's not done with Maxwell. This screams Full Gear.

 Kyle Fletcher vs Orange Cassidy AEW TNT Championship.

This was an excellent slow burn of a Match, that captilised on its own urgentcy, as both showed incredible efforts, because effort increases urgentcy, and urgentcy increases effort, this became the main selling point of the story of the Match, as both men gave everything. Fletcher retained thanks to Holograms clone attacking Cassidy. This allowed Kyle to hit the orange one with a brainbuster for the win. The lights kept going on and off, and at this point I was thinking, could someone just put 50p in the metre.

Mercedes Mone And Puppet Mercedes.

I'm probably the only person who thinks that Tony Khan missed a trick, not licensing those Mone Dolls. I love Harley Cameron. She was great throughout this broadcast. Mercedes having her own celebration next week, when the show goes to Daley's Place, ok then, I guess.

The Deathriders vs Samoa Joe. Powerhouse Hobbs And Hangman Adam Page.

I didn't like this. The in ring work felt flat, and overall a bit of the place. The Matches within the Match were solid, but they were predictable, and you could see who was going to partner with who. Hangman got the win for his team when he gave Claudio a deadeye and buckshot combo. Joe and Hangman then had a minor falling out. This made Hangman give him a shot at the AEW World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleDream. I like the idea of this Match, even though it screams TV Match.

Jetspeed Segment.

Ok. Kevin Knight, you don't call Stokeley Hathaway a garden gnome, he's a glourious man. Kevin Knight vs Dax Harwood sounds alright though.

Timeless Toni Storm vs Tay Melo.

I didn't like this. The Match worked to put a sad light on the womens division. The action was ok, but we don't see enough of Tay Melo, and that's a real shame, because she's one of my favourites to watch. Timeless got the win, and she then called out Kris Statlander. Kris then agreed to a Match at WrestleDream later on.

 GOA vs The Swirl.

On paper this didn't excite me, but I have to say it the work was solid. It won't end up on my best of the year list, but at least were getting a No DQ Street fight out of this, with The Hurt Syndicate next week. MVP is my MVP of the year, without a shadow of a doubt.

Don Callis Clueless Booker Of The Year.

Don Callis booked Okada, and. Takeshista in a Match next week against Brodido. Yeah I don't see any issues with this at all. He says.

Darby Allin And Kris Statlander vs Wheeler Yuta And Marina Shafir Tornedo Tag Match.

This was a blast. From both teams fighting in the fans, to the physicality resulting in sickening plunder, that helped sell the story of the Match. The Matches within also helped give the Match time to breathe. The chair and table spots, gave room for Marina to get foot tacked, as the final series of exchanges saw dust go in Marinas eyes. She thought wheeler looked a My Chemical Romance fan. Darby got the win by giving Yuta a Coffin Drop. Darby started whipping, like a goverment mule in the aftermath. Pac then attacked to make the save, and Moxley came out. Yuta was choking Darby as Jon cut a scaving promo on him, accepting the challenge of an I quit Match at WrestleDream. This Card is starting to look tasty.

Overview Of AEW Dynamite's 6th Anniversary.

Minor gripes to one side. I enjoyed this broadcast. Storylines progressed as the WrestleDream card starts to take shape.

The AEW Dynamite 6th Anniversary show is a solid 8/10.

Classic PPV Series Post 4 UFC 166 Valesquez vs Bigfoot 2.

5. Where Is KJ Noons.

I did my research to find out what this guy is up to nowadays. After retiring from MMA, he trained to become an EMT, and has worked as a firefighter ever since. This is very inspirational, and it shows their is life beyond the cage. He lost to Donald Cowboy Cerone at this event.

4. Where is TJ Grant .

TJ has since retired from the sport, and now runs a Mixed Martial Arts Gym in his home of Halifax Nova Scotia. This even more proof that fighters in some cases, want to train the future.

3. Glover Texiera Was A Scary Force.

Take your mind back to 2013, and the Light Heavyweight Division was under the guard of its Champion Jon Jones, and the fight industry was asking one question, who was going to step up to him? Step forward Glover Texiera, a solid rock, that looked like granit on this night when he beat James Te Huna. Glover would go on to lose to Jon ten months later, and then have a great career with the UFC, as the years went on.

2. I Felt Bad For Mark Hunt.

I'm wasn't the biggest fan of Junior Dos Santos. I thought that his fighting style was a bit boring, and overall predictable, so when he beat Mark Hunt on this card. I just felt bad for the Kiwi, because this ment that him getting a future shot against the then Champion Cain Valesquez was now up in the air.

1. Mario Yama Saki Was A Danger.

Mario Yamasaki, has had a chequered past when it has come to protecting fighters in the cage. You could look at his last fight for the UFC which was Schevchenko vs Cachoeira in Febuary of 2018. Which was horrorific, and he deserves everything that he got in it's aftermath. But I feel how he stopped this fight doesn't get enough attention. When Cain Stropped Big foot to retain, this could've been stopped moments beforehand. The choke that Bigfoot got caught with looked deep, and nasty.
