He was pretty exciting against Wonderboy and Lawler.
Style points ain't going to keep you your title.
Dana's an egghead.

Great card on the whole, sad truth is though that Woodley/Maia was far and away the least entertaining fight... it was a stinker even if the strategy employed by Tyron was entirely the smartest route to victory.
Objectively, he could have taken more chances in order to put on a better show for the fans though, and Dana's reaction was totally predictable. He also should be well aware of how the wind is blowing in regards to UFC being run as a promotion focusing more on personality and performance than ranking.
McGregor/Mayweather is a circus fight. Its a joke that means absolutely nothing yet is undoubtedly the biggest match-up of the year... go figure. Truthfully Jones vs. Lesnar wouldn't be much different.
Bottom line is that performances like Woodley's don't sell tickets or PPV buys, Bisping/GSP is a much more appealing prospect.
That being said, Lawler/Cerrone was a fantastic contest that really should have been scheduled for 5 rounds, so go figure...
Sad to see DC take such a heinous KO, especially after his performance to that point had been so good. Jones is as good as he says he is though, and his classy response after the win suggests maybe he's finally got his shit together. Which is of course great for the sport.

Brock would tap to strikes. He just can't handle a punch at all.
Fun enough money maker for both sides though so why not

Brock is basically late career Bob Sapp at this point.

Brock is prone to bodystrikes. He can take punches tho. See carwin fight for reference.

That fight proves nothing. Brock blocked 90% of those strikes with his arms. Brock most definitely cannot take a punch at all...

More accurate to say he can handle a puncher with his mass.
But if he gets hit on the button - or anywhere near it - yeah he panics.
