Once again, shows why he's a man. You know, there was so much unknown about Kai Asakura that you didn't know how the champion would handle the new challenge. He handled it.

wonderfully. The first round starts. Fantosius on the gas like he normally is. Betas Kurok 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, it's striking. Looked really, really good. Um, second round, he takes him down again. This time he goes, beautiful transition from takedown to body triangle to rear naked. you know this man alessandre pantosia 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 pantosia's last fight

was against ursay ursac gave him a hell of a time But in the fifth round, he made adjustments, got it done. He beat Brandon Roy Val to defend his belt, and it was a shutout. The first time he finished, but 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're going to take this man. Hold on a second. At his word. Let's see. Because my camera's always messed up. That's my fault. There we go. Got to 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 going to be very good. difficult to get that belt off of him. I really don't know who's going to 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 and prove you're the best.

Come back, let's fight. I'm going to tell you something. I'm buying that all day because Demetri's 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 ten. 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 him all. Alessandra Ventosia 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 Rockmanoff, and it was good.

It was a good fight. It picked up late. Machado Gary will look back on this to be very disappointed at the way that he managed round one and two, because in one and two, not much happened at all. But the few things that did happen was enough to give Shavkat those rounds. Shafqad did a better job in round four getting takedowns, but in round five, Machado Garo 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. Belaw comes into the ring Shavka wants to face off But I gotta be honest It was weird It was weird

I don't love faceoffs When you have a translator Especially when Belaw 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 Vogue came in after To pour you beat Max They shook hands and they left It was very respectful right but you understood what they were saying when omali right was in there out to be now when he's about to fight aljo for the belt marab 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 alohmah mahomet i'm actually kind of happy watching this fight tonight because Shav Khan Rahmano did not look like himself even though uh I learned after that he had an injure I think he might have tore his MCL going into the fight granted with a torn ligament in your knee you're not going to look like the killer that you look like in fights prior I got all my results here Cyrilgan beat Alexander Volkov bad decision I agree I agree 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 round.

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 holes. I'm not opposed to Volkov winning, but I promise you, I didn't feel as bad because I just didn't think that 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 a round through and 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 a beautiful slam on Crone Gracie, hits him with two nasty elbows, but even that, right?

Crone Graces is out there pulling guard. He's pulling guard. That's such a weird style of fighting, especially in M.M.A. Maybe in Jiu-Jitsu, you pull guard. But in M.M.A. 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, thin elbow.

then elbow boom boom fights over new old joy look very good tonight against nathan landware got the job done beautiful tk o you know he was really beating him up he got him in the crucifix crucifixing the ufc doesn't happen very often tonight we saw one from dujoy and honestly that's exactly what you would think with the way that this fight was playing out dominic rams beat anthony smith anthony smith And Anthony's mission 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 John Jones way back of the day. Lucci and Lucke got a submission.

Hats off to him beating Jim of Garumbo. Hey, I'm sorry of Loewa and Al Jermaine Sterling was one of the most high-level grappling matches in the UFC that 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 Bryant Battle, got it done. Eric Anders getting the biggest win of his career. Joshua Venn could be a real problem for a lot of people at 125.

Michael Kiyosig has to get another submission. Clay Queenie got submitted by Chase Hooper. Nasty. Chase Hooper's actually really good, though. And last, the Kennedy and Zetuc, recreating and restarting his career as a heavyweight. Look phenomenal tonight with a beautiful right hook that dropped Lucas Dreskes. 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. It's on in 2025, where we get Malkachev versus Saurukyan and Marab versus Umar and their mega medd off. It's going to be a good one to start the year. Guys again, Merry Christmas,
