Looks like the highlights of the night were Lewis doing another “my balls was hot” moment and Poirier getting knocked out with a head kick. That was vicious and I didn’t expect it at all. He was laying on the canvas looking like he got starched. Eminem being there for a walkout was pretty cool too. Seems like these UFC events are starting to get pretty massive.
I actually did not think that UFC event would be so massive. Well I think ‘massive’ might be the wrong choice of words. I should say interesting. Because I genuinely did not think that Porier was going to get knocked out like that. That was a huge moment. There was a moment where the head kick landed from Justin Gaethje, but Porier was still standing for a second. I was actually a little amazed. I was thinking that surely he’s not going to eat a kick from Justin Gaethje, and still keep standing. But in the end after that one and a half second he did go to ground and Justin Gaethje delivered one/two Hammerfist to finish the job.
The ‘my balls was hot’ moment was also pretty interesting to say the least.
Gaethje doesn't really need that hammer fist the ref already run to stop him for it. The ref has already seen Poirier's lights out when he fell. It's a bit unbelievable to see him go down that way and the bettors banking on him must have been surprised by how quickly it happened. It wasn't like the fight of Crawford vs Spence which round after round we are expecting Spence to be KOed.
If Derrick was wearing a Speedo, I think it would be an issue. I think it was the reason why Rogan asked why he removed his shorts off.
