Pretty sloppy fight by Du Plessis but he should have rounds 2&3.

Interesting guy to watch. Wouldn't mind seeing him fight Hall next.

Probably one of the best fight breakdowns, in a post fight interview by a fighter, by Du Plessis.

He went into great detail there about what happened on the unfortunate take down in the first.

It was a weird start but I thought Du Plessis looked pretty good overall. He probably would've finished most people with those shots he landed. Tavares is just crazy tough and stayed in it.

Can you imagine Du Plessis rushing in like that against Silva?

It would be Forrest Griffin 2.0 level destruction.

Yeah, that's exactly why I didn't like his performance here. Lunging in from so far away isn't going to work well when he gets a step up in competition. Skills are there though and he hits hard.

Garry looked great there.

Yeah, Garry an upcoming possible star.

Ugh, not crazy about these "old timers" figthts. (Miller and Cowboy)

Cerrone has looked a lot more washed than Miller but he has also been fighting better competition. Should be interesting.

Good for Miller. He seems like one of the good guys in this sport.

Solid matchmaking with two old guys and neither one of them taking much damage.

Would have been nice to see Cowboy pull it off, but slick finish for Miller. At least he didn't really take any damage that fight.

I skipped that one, but came back to see Cowboy put the gloves down. Retirement, glad to see it.
