Lorenz Larkin defeated Santiago Ponzinibbio by TKO (Strikes, Round 2, 3:07)

Kevin Lee @MoTownPhenom

What did Larkin say to his barber when he sat down? How does he explain this

Stef Walter ‏@Stef_Walter

Larkin worked hard on his head movement. Just ask his barber

Cody Gibson @TheRenegade559

Larkin is gonna be a contender at 170. Athletic, slick striking, impressive

Bloody Elbow @BloodyElbow

Yeah, the footwork and variety is better from Larkin, but problems with hitability are still right there.

michael @bisping

Performance of the night for @da_MONSOON gotta be!

Roger Narvaez @Silverback316

@da_MONSOON hair may have not been on point but damn….those hands were lethal!

Kevin Lee @MoTownPhenom

Not a single question about the hair in post fight interview. You slippin Anik.

Yoel Romero defeated Lyoto Machida by TKO (Strikes, Round 3, 1:38)

 Daniel Rubenstein ‏@dannyrube

Lyoto Machida will be the last fighter announced with a sponsor banner hung behind him. Going to be a different UFC going forward.

Urijah Faber ‏@UrijahFaber 13h13 hours ago

Final stand for @torque1net in the @ufc Octagon. Can’t wait to grow the brand outside of the cage.…

Chael Sonnen ‏@sonnench

The main event has the aging, past his prime, 37 yr old Machida vs the up & coming, future contender, 38 yr old Romero. Got it, no wait…

Danny Acosta ‏@AcostaIsLegend

Lyoto Machida has beat 8 champs in his career. Romero is trying to add the first champ to his resume tonight.

Zachary Makovsky @ZachFunSize

Interested in seeing how/if the smaller cage will influence machida….

Big Ben Rothwell @RothwellFighter

I personally love the smaller @ufc octagon

Cody Gibson @TheRenegade559

1-1 going into the 3rd. Wish Romero would at least threaten with the takedown. His athleticism is scary though

Colby Covington @ColbyCovMMA

Epic KO win for my bro @YoelRomeroMMA against machida. Give this man a title shot!

Michael McDonald @MaydayMcDonald

So… @YoelRomeroMMA just became my favorite fighter lol… Aside from myself 😉

Alan Jouban @AlanJouban

Great job @JohnMcCarthyMMA making sure when you got in there @lyotomachidafw didn’t receive anymore damage. Tough one to watch tho.

Big John McCarthy ‏@JohnMcCarthyMMA

•Thank you @AlanJouban it’s always hard to see the great ones lose. Lyoto has been and will always be a WARRIOR!!!

•I think he did everything he could. Every battle takes something from you, until there is nothing left 4 U 2 give

Fallen Soldier Film ‏@bobbyrazak

I hope @lyotomachidafw thinks about retirement had amazing career and does not want to be a stepping stone for these young studs.

Evan Shoman ‏@shomanart

#UFCFlorida is over. Machida era is over. The bannerless Reebok era has begun.

David Bixenspan ‏@davidbix

Chael Sonnen ‏@sonnench

Huh?

michael @bisping

…………………. (Lost for words)

Coach @CMPunk

A moment to praise freedom of speech. We all have things we believe. We can all say them publicly, everyone has the right to make fun of us.

Ben Fowlkes ‏@benfowlkesMMA

Weird. I’d been led to believe his priorities were exactly the opposite. RT @SevereMMA #JesusLovesKnockouts but #JesusHatesLove apparently

Fightnomics Reed ‏@Fightnomics

Keep in mind Romero’s tattoos directly violate Leviticus 19:28. So let’s settle down with the religiopolitical comments Mr. Pro Cagefighter.

Amanda Nunes @Amanda_Leoa

Maybe it was a misunderstanding.

Dann Stupp ‏@DannStupp

Not sure how anyone could listen to Yoel Romero’s post-fight interview and be 100 percent confident of what he said.

Andre Fili ‏@TouchyFili

Everyone has their beliefs. Everybody doesn’t need to be up in arms but we should definitely all have a good laugh at the nonsense.

Brian Stann @BrianStann

I am going to Church tomorrow now. #yoelsays

Nick Newell @NotoriousNewell

Did Romero say Go for Jesus not Gay Jesus? I didn’t know there was a Gay Jesus. Either way I think he should give Gay Jesus a chance.

Renato Laranja ‏@Renato_Laranja

I’m prefer REGULAR Jesus. GAY Jesus can be a LOT sometimes. I can only take him in small doses.

Coach @CMPunk

I may in fact, be gay Jesus.

Ralph Welch ‏@RalphWelchMMA

“Would student Romero please report to Principal @sonnench’s office for extra promo class…”

superCalo @superCalo

Romero has defeated the military & the gays in his last 2 fights wat does American have left? , next fight should be against the homeless

MMA Roasted @MMARoasted

Yoel Romero is now Donald Trumps running mate.
