UFC 202 is in the books, and we have Conor McGregor standing tall once again, while Rumble Johnson stomps towards Daniel Cormier’s belt once again. Here are the full results.
Main Card
—Conor McGregor def. Nate Diaz via majority decision. It was a legendary fight, and you really should see the full results here.
—Anthony Johnson def. Glover Teixeira via KO (round 1). Ten seconds. Rumble Johnson absolutely obliterated Glover Teixeira — a very tough guy — in ten seconds. You have to see this replay.
—Donald Cerrone def. Rick Story Cerrone surprised Story early with a takedown, then mixed up submission attempts with diverse striking to finish Story with ease. Cerrone finally finished the tough Story with one of the slickest combos in recent memory. You have to see that here. It’s gorgeous.
—Mike Perry def. Hyun Gyu Lim via TKO (round 1). Words won’t do this beating justice. Mike Perry, the guy who did the lame pullback handshake move at weigh-ins, dominated this fight. He loves America, he’s not here to make friends, and he has “God’s Gift” tattooed across his belly. If he ever fought Cerrone, a 51st state would be founded just to pay honor.
Down goes LIM!!!!! @PlatinumPerry trying to finish! #UFC202 https://t.co/qS9xFBziU5

Lim couldn’t do a thing.
—Tim Means def. Sabah Homasi via TKO (round 2). This was all means. He left Homasi gushing blood and struggling to defend himself until the referee mercifully stopped the fight.

Prelims
—Cody Garbrandt def. Takeya Mizugaki via TKO (round 1). Garbrandt does it again. No Love has 10 wins, and 9 knockouts. He’s coming for the 135 belt, and how can you deny him? After the fight, he told Dominick he was going to break his jaw, and boasting that he finished Mizugaki faster than Cruz, at 48 seconds.
WOW WOW WOW! @Cody_NoLove #UFC202 https://t.co/RVL1QUSyPC

Big throw + ground and pound from @RockyPMMA to close out Round 2! Great scrap! #UFC202 https://t.co/NQFSymalab

—Arterm Lobov def. Chris Avila via unanimous decision. Straight Blast Gym’s Arterm Lobov dominated this fight between the McGregor and Diaz camps. Avila was hyped, but looked like he acquired a bad case of the Octagon Jitters™ which led to him getting beat up for 15 minutes.

Fight Pass Prelims
—Lorenz Larkin def. Neil Magny via TKO (round 1). Lorenz didn’t want to be on Fight Pass, considering this was an important fight for the welterweight division, and he fought like he didn’t want to be there. This was a flawless victory. The leg kicks were Jose Aldo/Melvin Manhoef-esque, and Lorenz absolutely dominated Magny, cutting his own leg open in the process.
Wow! Dominant performance by @Da_Monsoon at #UFC202! https://t.co/3A8ynbXokD
