I have no problem with the way Anthony Smith just acted when you talk all that shit and you get beat the way Ryan Spann just got beat we don’t need to shake hands and hug Anthony is an OG and do not play. Really was an easy night for @lionheartasmith great job!!!#UFCVegas37

Ariane Lipski vs. Mandy Bohm
Damn Lipski looks good!

Lipski living up to her name tonight!!! Love it! #UFCVegas37

Arman Tsarukyan vs. Christos Giagos
Precise striking right there. I’m excited to see who they have Arman fight next. The lightweight division is so stacked! One could argue that even if they put a 165 division in the UFC we would still have a stacked lightweight and welterweight division. #UFCVegas37

That dude is a PROBLEM at 55 #UFCVegas37
— Jeff Molina (@jmolina_125) September 19, 2021
Tsarukyan belongs in the Top 10 that boy is #UFCVegas37

This guys the truth

Nate Maness vs. Tony Gravely
Damn!! That was reminiscent of the 155 lb title fight. One guy on the verge of brutal dominance, and the next round, things just change. This sport is CRAZY!! #UFCVegas37
— Aljamain Sterling (@funkmasterMMA) September 19, 2021
Good shit @MayhemManess1 we'll strap the gloves on one day. You finished a great fighter, keep it up https://t.co/031RCxFsiX
