This event is in Mexico City, which means several people will get tired while fighting. Mexico City has the highest elevation out of any city the UFC goes to.

Benicio Del Toro went back in time and came out the other end as Moreno.

Big news on the FS1 weigh-in show, Heidi Androl said that Alexa Grasso had a UTI and kidney infection and that's why she missed weight and also that she is now on antibiotics given by the UFC doctor who cleared her to fight nonetheless.
That's not good for her strength and stamina here.

2 judges give a 10-8 1st round. Was not 10-8 imo; he was just stuck in a body triangle but not taking damage

I had Pettis winning Rounds 2/3/4/5.
Moreno clearly won R1, but didn't do much damage. After R1, Moreno was gassed and looked worse with each passing round.
Moreno had a take down in R5, but he did no damage. Once they got back to their feet, Pettis clearly won the striking battle during the last 1:18 of the round, as Moreno was mostly standing there* and/or missing strikes.
There was 7 first round finishes today, which made it impossible for me to make good teams. I went 9-3 in my picks, but it wasn't good enough on DraftKings because I had Quinonez and Rinaldi in most or all of my teams, and Quinonez clearly won but only scored 70 points, while Rinaldo easily won in R1 but was expensive and the other 6 guys who won in R1 were all much cheaper than him.
Overall, it was a weird event, but entertaining for the most part.
UFC returns on September 2nd, and I'm gonna enjoy this break. I go back to university on August 14 for my final semester before I get my teaching license, so that's cool.
