The depth of talent just isn't good enough in the women's divisions. Other than the top couple of fighters at each weight class these women's fights consistently suck and look sloppy.

Good first round for Alvarez, as expected a war.
Nope.Quote:

Jesus, I think Gaethje was involved in the two best fights of 2017. Alvarez by KO late in the third. Just a brutal war.
What a fight!
Gaethje got away from those leg kicks for a lot of the second. He looked super gased most of the fight and Alavarez just battled through it. His cheek is so swollen lol
JFC, what a fight.
It was weird he didn't stick with the leg kicks, he took some wicked body shots so maybe that took away from them a bit. What a fucking beauty, Gaethje is so much fun but he's gotta change his style or he will lose a lot of fights against these top UFC fighters.Quote:

Big props to both those guys.
There should be 2 FOTN tonight. This is fucking sick.
For sure he has to change his style and can't just stand there eating those shots. He also needs to work on his conditioning and I'm sure he will learn from this fight because he never had to worry as much before battling guys outside of the top 10.Quote:

The pace he fights at is nearly impossible to maintain so a better strategy could also help his cardio. But god damn is he fun.Quote:
