Great Card...I did not care about the first fight
I hope Cerrone gets a title shot after this win, he's the most active fighter and most deserving as much as i want him to beat the shit out of Khabib. I don't think any one expected Makdessi to beat Cowboy but he has a nice jab and decent footwork which were no match for the kicks he received.
Travis Browne seems to be declining, I thought he was going to get this fight. He took way too many shots from Arlovski, so his defense is really what has got to improve. He definitely got Arlovski with that one haymaker he landed though.
I thought Weidman was going to try to finish Vitor on the feet but his superior ground game is what got him the win. IMO, Weidman was exposed in terms of the striking and it's a good thing his chin held up. I do think Weidman is not unbeatable and will have his hands full against Rockhold and/or Jacare Sousa.
Cormier totally dominated Rumble on the ground which shows how great Jones' takedown defense is. If Rumble didn’t try to end the fight with every strike he would've had a better chance as his wild strikes allowed for Cormier to capitalize with wrestling. I don't think Gus can fuck with Cormier's wrestling if he gets the next shot, Jones will be out of MMA for a while.
