RICK STORY DEF. TAREC SAFFIEDINE

Stitches came out today for Saffiedine only to be opened up again. Better the knee than the face. @ufc Canvas 1, Tarec 0. #UFCVegas

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) May 30, 2016

Greco-Roman War right now #UfcFightNight

— Sean Spencer (@seanspencer170) May 30, 2016

Story made Tarec fight his fight and will win because of it. Oddly, Tarec seemed slow and rusty. Could've been the leg injury. #UFCVegas

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) May 30, 2016

Saffiedine's eye was like, "I can't let the knee get all of the attention." #UFCVegas

— Mike Jackson, Esq. (@TheTruthJackson) May 30, 2016

Saffiedine head kicks are so fucking slick, Story is crazy tough #UFCVegas

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) May 30, 2016

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) May 30, 2016

Congrats to my man @ChrisCamozzi on a dominating fight!! Chris "money" Camozzi!

— Chris Weidman (@ChrisWeidmanUFC) May 30, 2016

One of CC's, if not his best, performance. Exploited his opponents weaknesses and showed good fight IQ. #UFCVegas

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) May 30, 2016

Congrats @ChrisCamozzi job well done #UFCVegas

— Raquel Pennington (@RockyPMMA) May 30, 2016

Camozzi on a Matt Brown-esque career turnaround in 2016. #UFCVegas

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) May 30, 2016

When a bald guy gets cut it gives me the same uneasy feeling you get when you open a carton of eggs and ones already cracked #UFCVegas

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) May 30, 2016

LORENZ LARKIN DEF. JORGE MASVIDAL

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) May 30, 2016

Phenomenal match up between @GamebredFighter and @da_MONSOON #UFCVegas @ufc

— Chris Wade (@CWadeMMA) May 30, 2016

@da_MONSOON can crack #ufcvegas

— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) May 30, 2016

Masvidal looks like Pettis after he went through the captain America experimental treatment #ufcvegas

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) May 30, 2016

Congrats @da_MONSOON

— Georgi Karakhanyan (@georgimma) May 30, 2016

Beautiful technical display of #MMA right thurr between Larkin/Masvidal. Picked Larkin to win but really could've gone either way. #UFCVegas

— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) May 30, 2016

That's #bullshisst decision @GamebredFighter won that fight. It was not difficult to judged it

— Roan Jucao (@jucao) May 30, 2016

I wish fights like that could be 5 rounders almost need another option for judges to choose more rounds instead of a winner lol

— Matt Brown (@IamTheImmortal) May 30, 2016

PAUL FELDER VS. JOSH BURKMAN

Gentlemen, magnificent chins. Both of you. that was some Leather! #UFC #FightNight88

— Chris Wade (@CWadeMMA) May 30, 2016

Smh Felder is already a journeyman this early in his career. #NoEvolution

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) May 30, 2016

If you don't evolve, you die. Especially in the fight game

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) May 30, 2016

Felder always looks so angry, and throws with nothing but pure malice in his heart. #UFCVegas

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) May 30, 2016

Great fight!!! @JoshBurkman vs @felderpaul #UFCVegas

— Vicente Luque (@VicenteLuqueMMA) May 30, 2016

Great fight by @felderpaul !!!! Congrats on the W

— Marlon Moraes (@MMARLONMORAES) May 30, 2016

Felder is like a boss in a game. When you hit him enough and bring his meter down he'll turn read and start going full boss mode. #UFCVegas

— Christine Stanley (@KnuckleUp125) May 30, 2016

Burkman bates them in with his super high-in-the-air chin and then compensates with absurdly fast hands #UFCVegas

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) May 30, 2016

Felder taking a page out of @Cowboycerrone 's book, in more ways than one... Says he's always ready! #UFCVegas

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) May 30, 2016

SARA MCMANN DEF. JESSICA EYE

Jessica is ONLY focused on Saras game that she forgot about her own. You still gotta win baby girl

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) May 30, 2016

— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) May 30, 2016

Softest request for title shot ever?

— Chris Wade (@CWadeMMA) May 30, 2016

I don't know if you call for a title shot after that... #UFCVegas

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) May 30, 2016

Just facetime'd the eye-mcmann fight...probably wasted my data. Good reminder to fight with purpose each and every time

— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) May 30, 2016

BRYAN CARAWAY DEF. ALJAMAIN STERLING

Wow put some respeck on Caraway's name. Didn't expect that. Should take this 29-28 @UFCFightPass #UFCVegas

— Derek Brunson (@DerekBrunson) May 29, 2016

Say what you want about Caraway, but he's tough, tenacious and has great cardio. Those attributes can overcome a great deal. #UFCVegas

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) May 29, 2016

Aljo gonna cry in the car

— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) May 29, 2016

Hypnotist > movement coach
