Well that was hella predictable but let’s give Lewis credit for stepping up to save this card. Dc is on another level, hope to see him rematch Jones one last time before he retires. #UFC230

First to hold both titles while defending them both at the same time. Can’t deny goat status now IMO. Congrats @dc_mma, you’re the man.#champchamp #kingofthegrind

It’s good to see a Jiu-Jitsu black belt not be willing to pull guard. @JacareMMA respects @chrisweidman ground game

It’s gotta be about even right? #ufc230

I guess Big Tan watched the fight where Herb let the guy nearly die, 'cause he really wanted Jacare to keep punching a defenceless Weidman. #ufc230 pic.twitter.com/0Ax3Y4EQnm

Dan Miragliotta is the worse referee Ufc could have. Next time @JacareMMA have to kill him. Congrats Jace classic act

Walk off ko of the year? @JacareMMA
— Ian McCall (@Unclecreepymma) November 4, 2018
Had Weidman up 2 rounds to 0. Jacare just kept walking him down and threw hard combos. What a fight and what a finish! Jacare not happy with the ref. Clear that Jaca fought with some extra motivation tonight. #UFC230
— Kenny Florian (@kennyflorian) November 4, 2018
What a fucking knock out by @JacareMMA holy shit! #comeback
— Jimmie Rivera (@JimmieRivera135) November 4, 2018
Top of the head ko button!! No one talks about it but it’s a thing of beauty! Usually it appears as a kick to the upper temple but holy hell what a ko punch via jacare! #UFC230
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) November 4, 2018
Props to @JacareMMA for respecting his opponent in a moment when many wouldn’t have been 🙏🏾

— Rafael dos Anjos (@RdosAnjosMMA) November 4, 2018
I feel for my guy @chrisweidman ….. he was winning the fight, then, Fuck! That’s the name of the game. Been there once too many. MMA is an unforgiving sport. #ufc230

Being a high level referee is like being an ER surgeon. When an ER surgeon has a bad day at work, people’s lives are at risk. When a high level referee has a bad day at work, people’s lives are at risk. Both are VERY difficult jobs, but mistakes are inexcusable, period.
