UFC 245 In Tweets: Pros Reacted To Usman’s Fifth-Round TKO Win And More
Saturday’s Las Vegas card was amazing. Three title bouts, and probably the most powerful main card in 2019.
Petr Yan stopped Urijah Faber, Moraes edged out Aldo, Nunes out grappled de Randamie and defended her belt. We’ve got a new 145-pound champion, Alexander Volkanovski, who outworked Max Holloway in the co-main event of the evening. Kamaru Usman scored a TKO win over Colby Covington to defend the strap. It was an amazing boxing affair that ended in a violent stoppage.
Here’s how the pros reacted to three title bouts and the rest of the action.
