Bibiano Fernandes has to be the best P4P 39-year old on the planet #ANewEra #OneChampionship #MMA

Round 3: Kevin Belingon gets taken down by Bibiano Fernandes. While on the defense as his back is against the mat, he lands an accidental blow to the back of his opponent's head. Ref calls an injury time.

Bibiano Fernandes stays on the ground, refusing to accept victory as they announce he’s the winner. Kevin Belingon tried to convince him the hit to the back of the head was accidental, but Bibiano wasn’t having a bar of it. Belingon DQd. Absolute scenes in the cage. #ONEANewEra

Brandon Vera is in the cage and he challenges Aung La N Sang to a light heavyweight title fight in Tokyo in October. N Sang seems to accept. #onechampionship

That was quite possibly the most polite callout for a MMA fight that I have ever seen. Brandon Vera and Aung La N Sang will be a great fight. #ANewEra

What a scary human being Shinya Aoki is. He chokes Eduard Folayang in the first round.

Shinya Aoki is 23-4 over the last 10 years with 18 finishes. Only losses were to Eddie Alvarez, Gilbert Melendez, Ben Askren and Eduard Folayang.
