I think it's pretty even, mainly due to Nate's chin. He took some real punishment and he wasn't going down. Lets not forget although Conor clearly won, Nate almost finished him. In fact, Nate was the closest to finishing that 2nd fight. I need to go back and watch again, but I wanna say Nate had two rounds like that. 3rd and 4th maybe? So yeah, it's pretty close if not even IMO.
That Swanson/Choi fight was straight out of a video game. I mean it was a slugfest, but still had some technicality about it. Especially from Choi's end. That kid can take some punishment. Fight was absolutely amazing.
Holloway looks big for the FW division. I mean if you told me that one fighter moved down a weight class during the Pettis/Holloway fight, with no prior knowledge of the two, I'd guess it was Max. I mean he looked so much bigger that Pettis. It was kinda weird.

max may be tall but his reach is freakishly short
reach >> height
I think he only has like a 69" reach

According to Uncle Dana, he's frustrated with Cyborg. He offered a title fight of Holms/Cyborg. Cyborg decline due to her health after her last fight. She said the fight would've been too soon. She said she was hospitalized after her last fight due to the weight cut. She did lose a lot of weight during fight week.

Hearing her talk about cutting to 140 sounded like she was near death every time.

Uncle Dana made the 145 belt so Ronda can become 2 belt champ like Conor and retire

They should just cut Cyborg before she starts demanding a title shot ab 170. Like I said before, send her cave woman behind to the Rizin freak show.

I see Dana's vision! I see it! 
Hacist Honda regains 135 crowm at UFC207
Preacher's Daughter becomes 4th Two Division Champion at UFC 208
Holm/Housey 2 at UFC 211 so Honda gets a chance to be the 5th Two Division Champion plus revenge
Winner vs. Cyborg at UFC 215
If the donino's all fall in the right order, buy rates issue goes out the window until McGreGoat comes back

Apparently Jorge is begging Dana to fight Cowboy.. I have no idea what Dana has against Jorge. I mean, book the damn fight. Cowboy is receptive to this fight, what's the hold up Dana
Here's the blurb on Holly declining to fight Cyborg at 145.. talk about a duck job... Holly going to decline the Cyborg fight if Holly beats Germaine?
On a recent UFC Unfiltered podcast, UFC president Dana White said he was trying to book Holm vs. Cris Cyborg for the inaugural women's featherweight title, however, according to White, both fighters turned it down for different reasons. White said Holm's head coach, Mike Winkeljohn, didn't want the fight, but according to Fresquez that's not the case.
"We make decisions as a team," Fresquez said. "We accepted the Cyborg fight up to a certain weight limit. On two different occasions, we went up on weight, and [Cyborg] turned them down."
Fresquez said Holm agreed to fight Cybrog at 136 and then 138 pounds, but to no avail.
"We did that as a team. As a team, we didn't want to go up as high 145 pounds."

So holm's team didn't want to fight at 145 against cyborg but will fight someone else st that weight? They made it sound like 145 was too high and the issue when they just didn't want to face cyborg.
