    Islam and Adesanya's knock out of Volkanovski and Peireira, respectively, are coin toss for me. Imagine the pressure these two was carrying during fight night; Islam's desire to erase all the controversy in the first fight and having to face the same guy who had nothing to lose on days notice, while Adesanya was on the verge of losing to his arch rival for the 4th time. Both guys came through it and beat their rivals in spectacular fashion.

    Emmett had the most intense KO. Izzy had the most amazing KO moment. O'Malley had the prettiest KO.

    Oโ€™Malley stopping aljo moving backwards was serious elite stuff. Not a lot of people can pull that off. He went forward to backward and ambushed with pinpoint accuracy. Not a fan but he an excellent talent
