Fight notes
Thug Rose looks every inch a long term champion after twice in a row beating the fighter who was considered to be the best ever in the division.
Khabib Nurmagomedov’s win raised more questions than it answer. Sure he is good but could be beat Toney Ferguson and Conor? I hope we find out.
