You rarely see a throw in the towel in MMA. Honestly that was for kevins own good. Mad respect to Holland for his toughness and his corner. They actually care about Kevin’s health #UFCOrlando

Shout out to Holland Corner. I think they made the right call. No fighter wants this to happen, but sometimes you need your coach to save you from yourself. There he suffered great loss. What a great display by both men! congratulations @Wonderboy MMA A great win! #UFCOrlando

Call it a good curse but besides ending right after my last tweet, that fight was not entertaining. He finds the finish but uses lateral movement to drive him onto that left straight #UFCOrlando

Who’s scarier right now…Sergei or Francis?! Both have great power! One has devastating kicks the other has wrestling dominance…. needless to say I’m looking forward to that match!#UFCOrlando

Wow! Dollies are sharp on the ground. Jack wins by foot and takes him down no matter what! Impressive sweep of the calf slicer! #UFCOrlando

Go ahead and file it under the “crazy ending” category. Dolidze is dangerous everywhere. Curse. #UFCFightNight

Can’t help but wonder if Enders is going through the head damage of what a finisher is #UFCOrlando

Anders looked like he was going to have trouble with striking range but once he found it there was no turning back. Flawless performance #ufcorlando

It was sure FOTN so far but since Rowe missed weight and probably can’t get the $$ #UFCOrlando
