From the main event I got few things.
-First, McMann looked very small. Like two weight classes smaller. Don't know if it was weird camera angle or real size difference, but whatever.
-Second, I was impressed that Rousey could control even Olympic wrestler like that.
-Third, Rousey's boxing is so crap that you wouldn't believe she's actually fighting in the UFC. Not saying promoting is ever 100% accurate but please, stop saying she drops professional boxers in sparring. It's just way too much. It's like saying James Toney submits BJJ black belts. Like actually, not even over exaggerating. She's so bad. Some regional bronze medalist in 15 yo boys at 115 pounds class would give her a good striking match so don't say how she drops champs.
From the co-main event I also got few things.
-Cummins has good low kicks and utterly terrible boxing. As bad as Ronda's which tells everything. He's not glass jaw based on how he never went even close to stiff but it's hard to rate his chin based on that short fight. His closing of distance looked good and I think he could take many guys in the UFC down. Based on his last win his GnP is utterly terrible so that's not going to be enough. If he wants to do well in the UFC he needs to train boxing like no tomorrow and improve his GnP. He has potential IMHO.
-Cormier looked bad. Yes, I said it. He knocked guy out in minute and took two punches. He still looked bad. He looked quite slow compared to his actual ability, his hands didn't look as sharp as sometimes and his footwork was off, looked slightly flat and slow. He didn't look terrible and he did what he had to, but remember how bad boxing Cummins had. He wouldn't have landed anything on Evans with that performance.
-UFC was once again stupid. Right in the beginning Rogan said that Cummins has good boxing. Why? Don't they realize that when some boxer/boxing fan sees guy like Cummins throw terrible punches while the commentator praises his boxing, it just strengtens the stereotype that MMA fighters have 0 skills in striking.
After the fight Rogan said that this was Cormier at his finest along with his win over Bigfoot. So TKO'ing coffee maker in 205 with 4 fights and no preparation is as fine as KO'ing 280 pounds elite heavyweight?
What you remember from the two main events?
