Reinier de Ridder def. Robert Whittaker
Petr Yan def. Marcus McGhee
Sharabutdin Magomedov def. Marc-André Barriault

I have mixed feelings about those fights.

Main event: I thought that it would be a win for Robert. He is good at defending takedowns, wrestling, bjj. But de Ridder played Whittakers striking game and won. They say it for reason that there are a lot of good strikers in Netherlands.

Co-main event: McGhee should be not match for Yan, we have discussed that when this fight was announced. But, it took Yan whole 15 minutes to win. I though he would do it quicker.

Shara vs Barriault: the fight that disappointed me most. Barriault should be no danger for red pirate. But, fight went full distance, Shara got a lot of damage (in addition to his "beautiful face, now a badly broken nose is added"). Barriault is in UFC for many years and should be having a crystal chin right now, but managed to cause so much troubles for Shara, awful. If it goes like this, in one fight Sharas career would go down and he would be released in few years. That Barriault is a low IQ fighter. Seeing that Shara has a broken nose, he did not jab to that nose, but did everything to lose...
