KG has taken the shots well from Cannonier but man, does he look sharp tonight. Great footwork, that JC hasn’t been able to really figure out. I picked JC to win but KG proving me wrong! #UFCVegas34

29-28 for Cannonier after 3 if you ask me.

That is an egregious misunderstanding of the unified rules. KG is winning.

Great main event Jared showed he can go 5 rounds and kelvin proved that he’s still a top contender in the division and can beat anyone on the right night

Super close fight. Gastelum pushed the action and held center of octagon but Cannonier landed the bigger shots.

Very competitive. A little more volume and I thought KG would’ve taken it or even pressing JC against the cage more. Big win for JC but KG is a savage! He’s fought all the best guys that 185 has to offer in the UFC https://t.co/Judmz0Crta
