Fernando Quiles - December 23, 2019

Covington was quick to protest the stoppage to referee Marc Goddard.
Matt Serra: We might be seeing a rebirth of Darren Till at middleweight
Fernando Quiles - November 7, 2019
Darren Till could be in for a rebirth at 185 pounds. At least that’s what Matt Serra believes. Till was in action at UFC 244 against Kelvin Gastelum. With a historic event inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, many felt that Till would crumble under pressure. “The Gorilla” proved that despite coming off two stoppage losses, he is far from being damaged goods. He defeated Gastelum via split decision in his first middleweight bout under the UFC banner.

Fernando Quiles - July 22, 2019
Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra believes it’s hard to deny Jorge Masvidal a shot at 170-pound gold.

The five-second finish set a record for the fastest KO in UFC history. “Gamebred” is riding a wave of momentum and he’s hoping to capitalize on it. Masvidal is looking for a UFC title shot or a money fight with Conor McGregor next.

Chris Weidman's corner's live reaction to controversial Gegard Mousasi stoppage
Tom Taylor - April 10, 2017
Over the weekend, in the co-main event of UFC 210, Chris Weidman experienced a controversial TKO loss to Gegard Mousasi. The controversy followed a Mousasi knee, which at first appeared to be illegal – forcing a confusing pause in the action – but was ultimately deemed legal, resulting in a Mousasi win. Part of the reason the fight wasn’t allowed to continue after the knee was deemed legal is because Weidman couldn’t tell the referee what day it was. According to live audio of Weidman’s corner, however, this might not actually be a cause for concern.
