The one judge who gave it to Modafferi also gave the win to Brunson after he was knocked out by Cannonier.

[@SimonMooreChannel]

Became a fan, good job on keeping a fighter's posture, keeping her attitude, and still showing class and respect when all is done. Awesome work!

[@illCMAC]

I was really disappointed in everything Texas did to King Casey on Saturday. She won a badass fight, in historic fashion, against a great opponent and should have been able to celebrate that. Instead, a moron judge took a card away from her that she rightfully won, and the fans booed her as if they give 2 shits about Roxane winning.

[@twuandixon8675]

Bro multiple fighters in this card got booed they just ignored it, she showed mental weakness just HAVING to get all butthurt by it. My man Ulberg didnt care whatsoever lol

[@craigman7262]

lol bruh she acted like a child. Fans paying her. They have every right to boo.

[@2Beast.]

2:45 🤣🤣🤣 The sad part is it might actually be legitimately true considering some have been caught on their phones not paying attention.

[@alyberop1]

I couldn't see which round Modaferri won? Luckily the decision didn't go the wrong way. I was surprised with 29s tbh

[@dixieechann]

Ariel talking about UFC making fighters wear uniforms and wanting the fighters to be their individual self YET forcing this Heel narrative on Casey and keeps trying to put her in this Heel mold.

[@KoreanRambo]

There's a difference between fighting for allowing fighters to have their own sponsors and advising someone to play a character for an entertainment business in order to gather more public recognition.

[@dixieechann]

@@KoreanRambo agree with you but she already said she ain’t about it so he should prob respect that and not bring it up 2-3 more times

[@tiagobernardescorrea4301]

Love Casey!

[@The_Isaiahnator]

14:00 - 15:57 I'd be down for that fight. Veronica hasn't fought in almost two years, but she's game and always pushes for the finish. 15:04 Veronica is actually 1-4 in the UFC. 😂 Honestly, I don't know if her heart is in it at this point. Always seemed like a Donald Cerrone/Angela Hill-type fighter who just takes fights with no clear aim in mind.

[@xT1nz0]

The future is bright for the Flyweight division. i think Casey and Blanchfield would be a good challenge for Valentina

[@MM-ch5gs]

Will be a good challenge.....if they continue to develop for 1-2 years. The problem is Valentina wants minimum 2 fights a year. Contenders will face her too early and sometimes...they don't recover.

[@bungalowwil]

Yep. Priscilla Cocheria had to take a year off and Jessica Eye was out cold for four minutes. And when she woke up, she asked, "Did I get knocked out?" Yes Jessica, but you're now really famous because you will be in Valentina's and the UFC's highlight reels for so long that people in the year 2095 will still be watching that knockout and saying "Dayum!"

Ariel makes everything about him I wish just one interview he could conduct it like he wasn’t a “personality”. The Schtick is old. Nobody cares who likes Ariel or who doesn’t like Ariel etc. just ask good questions and we would love to listen. When you’re talking about “in my defense” this or “I feel like we’ve got heat and I’m not sure why” that…. Just stfu

That Houston crowd should be ashamed of themselves. King Casey is a class act and a fellow Sottish-Australian.

[@AN-hv1vm]

The matchmaking was a horrendous way to send Roxy out. They should've given Roxy another journey woman who she stood a better chance against.

Not just the accent but I get a Becky Lynch kind of vibe from Casey. She is really real and doesn't give an F. Wishing her the best going forward.

[@The_Isaiahnator]

Plus, they're both women, but Becky calls herself "The Man" and Casey calls herself "King". Funny, that.

[@holylotus8419]

SHE COOL

[@adnerarana9919]

Casey got booed unfairly because she dominated the fight. Al laquinta got booed because clearly did not win and the Judges gifted him a fight.

[@trankPL]

Valentina is coming for that a$$. Be careful.

[@GA-1st]

She's her own person. You have to admire the authenticity. There are enough fakes out there. That said, that doesn't mean one has to like her! Weird, but she looks a little like an ex-girlfriend. But other than that, they have nothing in common. Not a lot of professional women fighters out there! It must be tough to be in Valentina's division. I wish her luck!
