Best fight of the night was the first prelim fight. Dude just ate serious damage and kept moving forward. Shame it was stopped in the manner it was.

Conor is a money making machine but he hasn't even put on a good fight in like 5 years.
UFC fans might be the dumbest lot of people alive.
Poirier is a legit fighter and I have long been a fan of a kid form Louisiana,. but he is not elite. He has handled Conor easily these last two matches because he's simply a solid pro and Conor no longer is.
He's been about the money for a long time now and his energy and effort is everywhere but training to be the best fighter he can be.

The UFC at it's best discovers a kid like GSP or Bones Jones and presents the best fighters in the world.
At it's worst it is this Don King-esque nonsense where PPV sales is all that matters and skill and talent go out the window for promotion.
Brock Lesner and Conor McGregor situations should be avoided not constantly on the look out for scenarios w the UFC.
