— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) May 14, 2020
Anthony Smith is far from a quitter, but his corner should have recognized he was done.
— Gerald Harris (@GHurricane) May 14, 2020
Anthony Smith deserves his nickname (Lionheart). Incredible performance for Teixeira (a 40 years old man). #UFCJAX
— Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) May 14, 2020

Never been so relieved to see a fight stopped. #UFCJAX

You looked great @gloverteixeira
— Platinum Mike Perry (@PlatinumPerry) May 14, 2020
Hold your head up @lionheartasmith
It’s about time. Lots of unnecessary damage imo
— Randa Markos (@randamma) May 14, 2020
I would have stopped the fight, corner could have saved their guy from getting finished. Some mistakes in that corner tonight. And I love those guys! Too much instruction, no crowd to filter it. Anthony Smith is a savage, but props to @gloverteixeira on big victory.

Ovince Saint Preux vs. Ben Rothwell
Man it was weird seeing OSP fight at heavyweight, made it seem so much more real for me. Especially knowing he was at 240lbs. With a little more cardio, he would’ve been I was visualizing myself as him that whole fight
— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) May 14, 2020
Do the laugh
— Al Iaquinta (@ALIAQUINTA) May 14, 2020
OSP did great on is heavyweight debut against a big body like Big Ben.#UFCJAX
— Francis Ngannou (@francis_ngannou) May 14, 2020
Ovince finally decided to fight the last 10 seconds
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) May 14, 2020
Damm knockdown after the buzzer! I got Rothwell 29-28 but it could go either way. Awesome fight
— Funky Ben (@Benaskren) May 14, 2020
Ben is like the Mountain from Game of Thrones. #UFCJAX
— Tatiana Suarez (@tatianaufc) May 14, 2020

Drew Dober vs. Anthony Hernandez
@DrewDober my man. What a beautiful performance. Exposed the kid for for the faker he was #UFCJAX
— Justin Gaethje (@Justin_Gaethje) May 14, 2020
Impressive performance by Dober. He put everything together really well and loooked impressive for many reasons. Stayed composed and patient and the stop came naturally. Hernandez is as tough as they come and DD handled him. Rather dominant finish. Really impressive. #UFCJAX
— #OnAmission4Gold (@KelvinGastelum) May 14, 2020
Dober looking like a killer. Congrats #UFCJAX
— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) May 14, 2020
