All the best, most interesting, and absolutely coolest fights the UFC should book following the promotions latest card in Long Island, NY.
UFC on FOX 25 didn’t look like the best card on paper, either before or after the event was over. 8 decisions in 13 bouts doesn’t exactly scream thrill-a-minute. However for those that actually watched the card, it was a pretty fun time. Chris Weidman got back on the horse with his best performance since 2014, Darren Elkins continued his improbable late career surge, and Jimmie Rivera put on a scrap with Thomas Almeida.

The former Bellator lightweight title holder is getting another shot in the UFC, this time against longtime veteran Nik “the Carny” Lentz.
When Will Brooks came to the UFC from Bellator it was with the expectation that he would insert himself into the top of the division in a hurry. He got off on the right foot, with a solid decision win over seasoned lightweight veteran Ross Pearson. But, just one year after that bout and he’s closer to fighting for his spot on the roster than he is the 155 strap.
Tim B. takes a look at an excellent UFC on Fox card that delivered with almost every fight.
Chris Weidman is back. In the main event of UFC on Fox 25, the former UFC middleweight champion mostly dominated Kelvin Gastelum and took home a third-round submission victory. Gastelum was in the fight for approximately 10 seconds - when he dropped Weidman at the end of the first round - but other than that, it was all Long Island.
