UFC Vegas 11 went down this weekend at the UFC APEX in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main event saw Colby Covington and Tyron Woodley and finally lock horns inside the Octagon after years of bad blood. The fight ended in the fifth round when ‘The Chosen One’ verbally tapped out after suffering an injury to his ribs. ‘Chaos’ had dominated the fight up to the finish.
In his 53rd fight of his professional career, ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone earned his first ever draw in the co-main event. After three back and forth rounds, which included his opponent Niko Price having a point deducted for an accidental eye poke, two of the judges scored the fight 28-28.
Khamzat Chimaev needed only 17 seconds to make it three wins in 66 days, scoring a spectacular knockout over Gerald Meerschaert. Elsewhere on the UFC Vegas 11 main card, Johnny Walker recovered from an early knock down to TKO Ryan Spann, Mackenzie Dern needed less than one round to submit Randa Markos, and Kevin Holland edged a split decision against Darren Stewart.

Colby Covington vs Tyron Woodley

He said it popped earlier in the fight and then tried to use the gulliotine to stand up and it popped. “It was the most pain ever,” he said.

So of course I’d love to see Colby get KO’d……but I think Colby going to win. Think he will put a pace and out work Woodley. ?????

When you have been fighting your whole career with your back by the cage you’re not gonna be able to make the adjustment on the spot.
And with good wrestler that’s definitely not a good strategy #UFCVegas11
The cuts not that bad. He needs to let his arsenal go this round. #UFCVegas11
— JIMI MANUWA (@POSTERBOYJM) September 20, 2020
I think Woodley retired mid fight #UFCVegas11

Love him or hate him Covington can fight ! @ColbyCovMMA Very hard to see this last stretch of fights for my man @TWooodley. That’s like 15 rounds in a row where he hasn’t been able to get going. Gotta take a real look at what’s next. But great win by Colby!!

Colby needs 1 more win before a title shot . Woodley is 38 and loss 3 in a row , was the underdog . Leon Edwards or Steven Thompson makes sense for his next fight !

Usman is fighting Burns in December.

Masvidal and Diaz are in talks for the rematch in January.
Can we get Covington vs. Edwards next? I mean, is there any logical reason why this fight shouldn’t happen?

The high level of BJJ IQ required to transition into that armbar finish says A LOT! This division needs to pay attention here. On the feet, take advantage bc Dern just needs one TD and she can end the show in multiple creative fashions.

I really dislike the straight stomp to the knee. I know some people think it should be fine but I think as a sport we have rules to limit the injury risk for a reason. I can tap to a submission or choose not to and let my joint snap, but a stomp doesn’t allow that #ufcvegas11
