Chapters:
Is Alexandre Pantoja the new GOAT?
6:12 Shavkat Rakhmonov concerns
10:37 Everyone calls Volkov-Gane 2 a robbery
17:22 Evloev vs. Sterling = best fight

Alexandre Pantoja is making a case to be the best fighter in flyweight history which is saying a lot. Demetrious Johnson is seen as the division's best and the best of all time. But what Alexandre Pantoja has going for him is the quality of competition he's faced compared to Mighty Mouse. Kai Asakura adds to that.

Shavkat Rakhmonov defeated Ian Garry in the co-main event of UFC 310. Oddly enough, it felt like Ian Garry won the story and Shavkat Rakhmonov lost it. If Shavkat Rakhmonov fought Belal Muhammad at UFC 310, as originally planned, he would have lost. Ian Garry surprised everyone. He competed with one of the scariest fighters in the division and went life and death with him.

Alexander Volkov and Ciryl Gane fought another close fight and many are calling it a robbery. It was a close fight. But Ciryl Gane over performed in this fight. He wrestled, grappled, and struck with Alexander Volkov who has been on a tear. Hopefully we get Ciryl Gane vs. Tom Aspinall one day.

Movsar Evloev and Aljamain Sterling had a fantastic fight. It was the best on the card. It was not a high-damage fight, sure. But the fight between the Russian and American was a treat to grappling from start to finish. Now, we may get Movsar Evloev and Ilia Topuria. Won't that be a treat?
