This low key hilarious! #UFCVancouver

Pereiera didn’t cut the extra weight so he could do the flying shit… Think of it as an investment, the money he paid for missing, people will be talking about the flips, and shit. #UFCVancouver

Unsurprisingly this dude is now exhausted. Little tip for any younger fighters. Don’t do multi backflips and breakdance if you don’t wanna gas out

Omg these guys are super low level #UFCVancouver

Uriah Hall vs. Antonio Carlos Junior
Bet heavy on junior

Man #UFCVancouver is the show of backtakes
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) September 15, 2019
That nose be broke!
— Alan Jouban (@AlanJouban) September 15, 2019
Body triangles are hell to get out of and hell to watch sometimes but it is a super dangerous spot to be in so it’s good the ref did not intervene. Not entertaining but it’s supposed to be a sport so gotta let them work
— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) September 15, 2019
I can see that…could’ve gone either way. #UFCVancouver
— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) September 15, 2019
Are we scoring a BJJ match or a fist-fight?? That was the right decision!! #UFCVancouver
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) September 15, 2019
Judges got that one right @UriahHallMMA happy for u brother! #UFCVancouver
— Shane Burgos (@HurricaneShaneB) September 15, 2019
Probably the best and hardest jab at middleweight! Mousasi def uses it better/lands more but a Hall jab does serious damage https://t.co/kZVkAewmFR
— Aljamain Sterling (@FunkMaster_UFC) September 15, 2019
I had Hall in that fight . A clear 29-28. Hall Won the first 2 rounds, Carlos round 3 #UFCVancouver
