Yesterday on May the 24th 2014, The MGM Grand in Las Vegas was home to UFC173. The card was stacked and fight fans were definitely in for a treat. The most stand out fight of the night however would have to be the bout between TJ Dillashaw and Renan Barao. After an impressive 4 rounds Dillashaw landed a TKO victory in the 5th round defeating Barao and becoming the new UFC Batamweight Champion. Dillashaw is now looked at as a top contender and is now on the horizon of great things.

How can I not talk about the dominating performance by my boy Daniel Cormier against long time friend and Mentor Don Henderson. That fight was pretty much one sided. Cormier threw Henderson around like a rag doll. He finished off the fight in the 3rd round via rear naked chocke. Cormier’s performance last night definitely earned him a title shot in the near future. Wether it’ll be Jon Jones or Alxander Guffeson remains to be seen.

Another notable fact is that even though Jamie Varner was handed a TKO lost courtesy of James Kruase no one can take away the fact that Varner was fighting with a broken ankle he sustained midway in the fight. If that’s not a heart of a champion I don’t know what is.
