My god, those men make violence into art

— Julie Kedzie (@julesk_fighter) July 24, 2016

End of the 3rd it looked like @EdsonBarbozaJR backed off on the leg kicks because he knew he'd won & @GilbertMelendez will never quit.

— Yves Edwards (@thugjitsumaster) July 24, 2016

Congrats @EdsonBarbozaJR your the man! @ufc #UFCChicago

Francis Ngannou def. Bojan Mihajlovic

Ngannou is a monster. Everyone is butchering his name though... EN-gah-noo!

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) July 24, 2016

Let's be serious, fight was over before it started

— Big Ben Rothwell (@RothwellFighter) July 24, 2016

Curled up in a ball = intelligent defence?

— Coach Kavanagh (@John_Kavanagh) July 24, 2016

Is it @francis_ngannou or the French language which made that post fight interview seem so formal and elegant? #UFCChicago

— Yves Edwards (@thugjitsumaster) July 24, 2016

I say we have Ngannou vs Derrick Lewis matched up pretty soon. #TheBeast vs #ThePredator

— Dan Hardy (@danhardymma) July 24, 2016
