So Poirier did much better than expected, gave Islam a tough fight before finally getting put into a submission which he could not escape.

Strickland was nearly robbed with a 49-46 Costa card, I think it may have to do something with the UFCs lgbtq globo shareholders, that seems outright malicious rather than incompetent.

I'm always suspicious of split decisions these days. I didn't see the fight but I'm sure it should have been an easy UD for Strickland. They definitely want Strickland gone as he is way to open about his opinions and when it doesn't align with the left they suddenly aren't aren't the party of tolerance and acceptance.

Strickland is one of the most hated in sports and the MMA media ( which is full of woke nerds) want him to lose and become irrelevant.
However, much of the UFC share his views, including Costa.

Also majority of these Dagestani, Chechen fighters are overrated by the UFC hype machine.
