Suga let's go brother

It's sad Rashad took so long to finally drop to Middleweight. It'd be fun to see him get the title.

HAHAHAHAH!!!! "Canelo" chants in the arena because @smilensam is fighting. #UFCMexico rivas

— Mike Jackson, Esq. (@TheTruthJackson) August 6, 2017

@smilensam is very hard to takedown #UFCMexicoCity

What is "the grind," exactly? I keep hearing about it. ??

— Ryan Hall (@ryanhall5050) August 6, 2017

Style-wise, we knew this could be a boring fight. But at least they're at elevation so they can still get tired despite not doing much.

If Rashad hits to the back of head of Alvey does it count as a shot to the back of the head if he has a face shaved into it?#ufcmexico

Sam loves to counter. If you don't lead, sometimes he will just wait. Might have stolen the round at the end there though. #UFCMexicoCity https://t.co/JhIejB73ky

Let's go @SugaRashadEvans

Remember when Rashad killed Liddell? This sport takes weird turns

Sam Alvey started to get mad. Look at that face he keeps making pic.twitter.com/dmlzlgPAu8

Those blessed with power often fail to develop much else. #ufcmexico

— kajan johnson (@IamRagin) August 6, 2017

At this point I wish Rashad wins and retires. It's one thing when you see the fire in a fighter's eyes. He just doesn't have it.

What an exciting fight…. pic.twitter.com/csRIs5vKoy

— Chase Sherman (@ChaseShermanUFC) August 6, 2017

I have it 19-19 even. Rashad looks tired, Alvey looks fresher, but isn’t one to push the pace. It’s up for grabs in R3. #UFCMexico

— Simon Head (@simonhead) August 6, 2017

Comes down to round 3 on my score cards #UFCMexcio

— Goze (@thegoze) August 6, 2017

Rashad had 4 more kids in between rounds. #UFCMexcio

— MMA Roasted (@MMARoasted) August 6, 2017

Throw a short right hook and lead him into the power left, Sam! #UFCMexicoCity

— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) August 6, 2017

I don't even know why I bothered looking up those fastest event records with Alvey vs. Evans on the card.

— Michael Carroll (@MJCflipdascript) August 6, 2017

Is Sam Alvey using a Walmart mouthpiece or something? Lol

— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) August 6, 2017

"Well, it wasn't the fight that we expected"…or wanted? #UFCMexico

— Yellow Power Ranger (@Sugarhigh5me) August 6, 2017

Evans, Alvey was brutal. No other way to say it.

I think this judges are drinking tequila #ufcmexico
