The amount of people counting out Francis Ngannou is astounding to me.

I'm still actually stunned about the Bryce Mitchell vs. Kron Gracie fight announcement. I'm more stunned having realized that's currently on the UFC 310 main card over Sterling vs. Evloev — a fight that has significant impact in the division's title conversation.

To be fully transparent, I was one of the voters who had Jones at No. 4 behind Makhachev, Topuria, and Pereira. I just couldn't jump him over those three guys.

I'm told that Kris Moutinho has been released from a local hospital after his FOTN bonus earning debut against Sean O'Malley. All scans were clear.

Kamaru Usman is really, really good on commentary. Always has been.

Ilia Topuria is the Fighter of the Year. Respect to Pereira and the year he’s had, but what Topuria has done in 2024 is one of the most impressive two-fight stretches I’ve ever seen in the sport.

Just spoke briefly with Shane Burgos. He said he's awaiting a cat scan at the ER but he's "all good." "I remember everything it was just a weird feeling that shut my legs off slowly. I'm 100% safe, healthy, coherent and remember it all."

I understand people being upset about the judging — as I am about that 50-45 card. But Keith Peterson was absolutely terrible in this fight. How do you not take a point after a ball kick, then another he missed, then a headbutt after the bell, and another ball kick? Insane.

50-45 is one of the worst cards of 2025.

Unfortunate news: Dan Hooker is out of his #UFC285 matchup with Jalin Turner after suffering a broken hand, per sources. Turner is expected to remain on the card, but no opponent at the moment.
