Having shared the octagon with both those guys…the mental aspect of the fights is almost a grueling as the physical. Constantly have to be on your toes entire 25 mins. Great win @robwhittakermma #UFCFightIsland3

I still wanna fight Till one day.
His striking is beautiful.
Stay up Darren!

The co-main event of #UFCFightIsland3 features perhaps the last Pride Fighting Championships rematch we will ever see, as Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Antonio Rogerio Nogueira complete their trilogy at light heavyweight.

An armbar in men's MMA! What is this, 2007?

— Seán Sheehan (@SeanSheehanBA) July 26, 2020

Werdum with the armbar. He looked a new man this fight after looking so bad in his last. Bad debut at HW for Gus. #UFCFightIsland3

— Ian O'Neill (@ioneillmma) July 26, 2020

That was a totally different Werdum from the one that fought Oleinik.

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) July 26, 2020

Didn’t expect Gus to be that easy to takedown in this fight. Wouldn’t be surprised if he retires again. Big win for werdum after that last fight

— Brian BOOM Kelleher (@brianboom135) July 26, 2020

Werdum absolutely clinical. Very few called that. #UFCFightIsland3

— Andy Stevenson (@andyste123) July 26, 2020

Quick finish and Gustavsson taps to an arm bar. That was brutal from the former champ, Gus got caught out when he got good wrist control, Werdum switched to the arm bar and it was only a matter of time. Skillfully done. #UFCFightIsland3

Close fight, but if Esparza wins, people will say that it was a robbery.

Did Rodriguez do enough to earn her 9 in round 3? Just I'd say but I do have a euro on the draw at 50/1

Hats off to Rhys McKee for stepping up on a week's notice to fight an absolute beast like Chimaev!

I hope the UFC honour the 4-fight deal and match him appropriately for his next fight.

That fight does not represent the type of fighter he is. #UFCFightIsland3

— Andy Stevenson (@andyste123) July 26, 2020

Chimaev's entire life is smeshing. That dude doesn't play video games. He's not worried about his love life. He's a fucking terminator. He doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. He can't be bargained with. He's just going to keep on smeshing until you are dead.
