connected for gaichi and johnson wobbling again oh right hand he hung up massive one for johnson gaichy stood up to it and now he's down johnson takes the back really nice adjustment by johnson gaichi continues to cut to cover up and johnson now finding the holes in the defense and attacking the body beautiful work here from michael johnson even after getting knocked down gaichi coming forward oh and there's a right hand genji still on his feet he may not know where he is but he's standing up oh up johnson nice uppercut from gaity caught him flush on the chin and johnson's rock now and gateshe's got to walk him down and unload johnson's legs they're not there uppercut right hand big uppercut again and it's g's moment can he's closed the show johnson cover it up there's no way this goes five rounds they may both have to tap out because of exhaustion 20 seconds left in round two can johnson survive he cannot just stand gaichi with his ultimate highlight he doesn't even have the energy to celebrate an unbelievable battle and he stuck the landing so here he is iron michael chandler making his much hyped ufc debut a lot of fans wondered aloud if this moment would ever happen he seems to have maximized his free agency come over at the right time chandler continues to stalk his prey lands to the body there and now goes up top and lands push kick now for chandler starting to open up a little bit and look at the immediate oh big knock down for michael chandler big right hand dan's hurt it's over it's over chandler maximizing the debut and the landing michael chandler bonafide ufc lightweight contender i tell you all this this is the greatest moment in my professional life you've waited a long time for anderson silva you want to get it going oh i can't wait welcome to the octagon anderson silva he's really good at moving in and out changing timing hi good head kick oh chris leaving and leaving goes down oh silva should have jumped in and finished it he may do it right here leiben is rocked he was stunned he was like i thought it was over oh he is in big trouble chris lehman goes down again and it is all over wow and it's all over the debut of anderson one minute that's what i was talking about this is a different kind of striker the brazilian excited to make his ufc debut very good ground started his brazilian jiu jitsu training joe at age 12 just 20 years old here is charles oliveira look at this spectacular he's got it locked up mike right away in the back of the head joe oliveira turning it into an armbar he's got a triangle and an armbar combination [Applause] up that triangle so fast wow welcome to the ufc the korean zombie chan song throws into slugs nice uppercut and then a flying knee by john here they go yep oh my goodness up kick [Music] 10 seconds now set up a twister looks like he is he's got a twister oh final seconds of the round trying to get it by submission with just a couple of seconds left in the round when he switched from back control to the twister and gets it behind his head now watch when he puts the arm behind his head then he locks the hold of leonard's hands or his hands rather around leonard's head and he is just contorting his spine there i mean by far the biggest prospect to come out of ireland lots of folks excited to see conor mcgregor make his ufc debut here in just a matter of moments out of connor's 12 wins 11 are not playing with an uppercut there kenny 11 are knockouts and he almost did it again he can fight going forwards he can fight going backwards look at that uppercut now mark target looking to finish it here this is why everyone's been talking about conor mcgregor conor mcgregor another first round win look at the uppercuts it all started with the uppercuts that's what really dazed marcus brimmage and from there it was all conor mcgregor dana 60 g's baby [Applause] foreign both have really good reach here nice left and right oh right nice ride by griffin he rocked him there oh with the knee oh staying in and here we go wow big right hand what a war between these two guys oh just missed with the right [Applause] [Music] the crowd in here is just on its feet oh uppercut just missed toe to toe they go oh and a left right hand by bonner this ladies and gentlemen it's the ultimate fighting championship five seconds what a finish this entire crowd is on their feet for the arrival of the first ever ufc women's bantamweight champion 6 and 0. rowdy ronda rousey she has finished every fight in the first round by armbar will she get it here uh look how beautifully ronda rolls with it she's been in this position so many times before plenty of times to go liz is doing a real good job of defending she's defending the right way listen to this crowd what she's done is got her arms in like a rear naked choke position to defend but ronda is an expert at prying those arms apart [Applause] once again first round artboard finish for the champion ronda rousey joe lauzon he knows that pulver's been beaten by submissions before but i'll tell you what when you're 22 years old you're making your ufc debut against a former world champion you are going to have your hands full lauzon shot in quickly so perhaps lauzon wants nothing to do with exchanging fists with jen's pulver which might be a wise decision it's definitely a wise decision and chance is doing a good job of standing up james is up but not totally back down stayed and uh stayed in pursuit of that leg hovers up again and he pushes away pulver can explode with the left hand if you don't believe it ask john lewis down goes paul's got to get a left goes out he's out believable over jones unbelievable that is the biggest option of the night james pogba was a seven to one favorite for this fight joe lauzon just bringing it on there he is the ufc newcomer 6-1 junior dos santos this is a huge opportunity but also a huge challenge for junior dos santos has his first ufc bout he's larger but you know it's not he's not lean larger you know what i'm saying santos is 230 something 238 oh don't he goes and it is all over a huge uppercut and dos santos is the victor wow huge victory for junior dos santos we said at the beginning of the fight mike what a gigantic opportunity this would be but man you

They've really ran out of things to put that one Chandler highlight in

Happy to see Joe Lauzon getting some love.

[u/starfot]

he learned everything from his father, senior dos santos

Gaethje vs Johnson could have easily stopped many times with Johnson winning! Crazy fight!

[u/TheNotoriousLCB]

damn Conor’s hair looked TERRIBLE in his debut lmao

[u/uTheMoneyTeam]

Overeem's debut against Brock is surely the greatest of all time.

[u/IkBenTrotsDusBlij]

Odd that they missed Jiri, especially with his current huge relevance.

[u/soliddd7]

No Jiri? :(
