- A lightweight bout was scheduled between John Makdessi and Devonte Smith for the event. However, it was reported on July 30 that Makdessi was forced to withdraw for undisclosed reasons. Returning veteran Clay Collard was briefly linked as the replacement. In turn, Collard was removed from the bout during the week leading up to the event due to an undisclosed medical issue. Smith will now face promotional newcomer Khama Worthy.
- The bout between Manny Bermudez and Casey Kenney was originally scheduled to take place at bantamweight. However, the UFC decided to move the bout to a catchweight bout of 140 lbs. due to the fighters cutting substantial weight the night before weigh-ins.

I had romero 2-1 as well. Imo he clearly won the last 60% of the fight. It was a close fight but I think it was kinda clear that Romero won the 2nd round which was the closest one.
im a regular at nl5

I hadf it 2-1 costa, the 2nd was close and Romeo was waaay more comfortable but he just landed weak flicking jabs while Costa landed hard shots.
Amazing fight though

Sweet fight between Romero and Costa (I thought Romero won).
Also a sweet fight between Nate and Pettis.

Pettis has the cardio of a heavyweight

That's what Cormier gets for headhunting.
He stopped using leg kicks and wrestling.

That was a great card
DC doesn't have the cardio for 5R HW fight and why he didn't wrestle is beyond me... Gets hit 7 times in a row in the body, switches guard, first head shot Stipe lands wins the fight and he wasn't fast, he was just precise as fuck cause DC dropped the pace hugely. Commentators saying "uh DC has pretty good movement blah blah" 1min earlier was just boggling, if you are getting hit in the kidney like that you're most likely quite tired now.
DC probably retires after this one or even worse... goes back to fight JBJ and gets crushed again
I think cormier is retiring and UFC is making Miocic vs Ngannou 2, Diaz vs Masvidal would be awesome. Cant wait to see Costa again too. This was a great card

Diaz vs Masvidal would be a cool fight
DC fighting JJ makes no sense for JJ right now. It was a close great fight.. they should go a third one but DC is already in the 'imma retire very soon' state of mind which makes going into another fucking war hard.
Stipe vs JJ eventually if both can hold on would be the fight to make!
