Twitter reacts to JDS vs. Miocic
Guilherme Cruz: “JDS told me before the fight you can’t fight like Cain Velasquez for 25 minutes if you’re not Velasquez. Stipe Miocic getting tired.”
Junior dos Santos and Stipe Miocic engaged in an epic 25 minutes of face punching Saturday night at UFC on FOX 13. There have long been champions in boxing who are willing to take a punch to give on. With 4 oz gloves and elbows, that attitude is very little seen in mixed martial arts. However, while Miocic and dos Santos used evasion, parrying, and holding, there was also a starting willingness by both parties to get punched square in the face.
As always, Twitter reacted.

•Lights down and crazy strobe effect for Stipe Miocic. He walks first and comes out to “D3MONS” by Machine Gun Kelly feat. DMX
•And here comes the former champion, Junior Dos Santos. He walks out to “Gonna Fly Now” by Bill Conti, the theme from “Rocky.”

Miocic going right to the fence. Trying to Cain his way past JDS. Easier said than done.
Luca Fury – FFP @FurysFightPicks
Junior look odd so far. Punching kind of slow, not much footwork. I hope those wars vs Cain didn’t make him a shot fighter.
Jerome-Max Holloway @BlessedMMA
JDS backing up with his hands down is scaring me
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter
Round 1 to Miocic. JDS looks slow, heavily muscled. Different.
Joe Lauzon @JoeLauzon
I thought the main event might not make it out of the first minute… But I’m shocked it made it out of the first round.
Jordan Breen @jordanbreen
Junior dos Santos needs something major. Miocic has him busted open and is styling on him, just gaining confidence. Like Nelson fight 2.0.
Heidi Fang @HeidiFang
Rights from Miocic and Dos Santos is bloodied up. A right from Miocic and he clinches up with JDS. Miocic gets the takedown. 20-18 Miocic.
Brett Okamoto @bokamotoESPN
Stipe following Cain blueprint to beat JDS and it’s working. JDS beat up. Tired. Momentum with Stipe’s but this JDS guy still hits hard.
Zane Simon @TheZaneSimon
Suddenly JDS finding his rhythm. Had to get beat to a pulp to get there though.
TyroneSpong @Tyrone_spong
Fuckers got some jaws on them to shit! My kind of fight
Ariel Helwani @arielhelwani
This fight is turning into something very interesting. JDS coming back. 29-28 for Miocic going into the 4th, though.
Cody Gibson @TheRenegade559
This fight reminds me of why Cain is such a dominant heavyweight. His cardio is out of control

JDS told me before the fight you can’t fight like Velasquez for 25 minutes if you’re not Velasquez. Miocic getting tired.

JDS catches Miocic getting tired and lazy with his balance and makes him pay with an excellent trip in the clinch.

Mike Ciesnolevicz @MikeCies
I definitely think #JDS won that fight and I also think he needs another long break before he fights again

What a great main event to end a weekend of fights. Miocic is a warrior but I still had JDS winning.
