The main event at UFC Vegas 30 featured a heavyweight clash between two of the best in the division. Promising talent Ciryl Gane took on a veteran in Alexander Volkov. ‘Bon Gamin’ is just five fights into his UFC career and has garnered a lot of attention with his performances.

Rob Tatum was critical of the commentary team that comprised the likes of Paul Felder and Daniel Cormier.
It's weird to hear the commentary team go "Full Rogan" when Rogan isn't in the booth. But alas, here we are.
