Adesanya looked good. Not that anyone who knows him from kickboxing hasn't known for years already, but definitely star material. Interesting to see him get the UFC treatment and how it goes.

Daichi Abe via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 28-27) www.mmafighting.com/fight-card/922/ufc-221I don't like when fighters miss weight, are cleared to fight anyway (albeit with punishment) and end up destroying their opponents. I feel the punishment for missing weight needs to be a lot harsher. Haven't seen any of the fights yet, but going by the scorecards Hunt got handily beaten by Blaydes. Karma, I guess. Good to see Adesanya having success.

Hunt damn near KO'd him in rd 1 though. Blaydes can take a shot or seven.
