Primeramente, decir que ha sido un gran evento, sin miedo a equivocarme, de los mejores que han sucedido en los últimos tiempos. UFC290 ha estado cargada de mucha acción, grandes finalizaciones, victorias impresionantes en menos de 1 minuto, emociones de diferentes situaciones y una batalla coestelar de lujo. No se puede reprochar nada, cada combate estuvo increíble y esperemos que las siguientes carteleras tengan el mismo desenlace.
Tristemente, también ha sido una noche oscura para México, pues han perdido 2 cinturones y una prospecto muy importante de su país ha sido vencida de manera contundente. Lo que podía ser una noche de brillo para México, ha sido una noche de derrotas, aunque comenzaron con una excelente actuación de Jesus Aguilar, ganando por nocaut en el primer asalto, después todos los demás peleadores que representan la bandera de México, acabaron perdiendo.
First of all, to say that it has been a great event, without fear of being wrong, one of the best that have happened in recent times. UFC290 has been loaded with a lot of action, great finishes, impressive victories in less than 1 minute, emotions from different situations and a great co-main event. You can't fault it, every fight was amazing and let's hope that the following fights have the same outcome.
Sadly, it has also been a dark night for Mexico, as they have lost 2 belts and a very important prospect of their country has been defeated in a resounding manner. What could have been a night of brilliance for Mexico, has been a night of defeats, although they started with an excellent performance by Jesus Aguilar, winning by knockout in the first round, then all the other fighters representing the Mexican flag, ended up losing.

Esta victoria de Alexandre Pantoja, coloca un registro de 3-0 frente a Brandon Moreno. El mexicano jamás ha podido vencerlo.
En la pelea estelar, Alexander Volkanovski, proporciono una clase de dominio a Yair Rodriguez, quien no pudo nunca demostrar sus habilidades. Alexander, utilizo mucho la lucha, llevando al suelo contantemente a Yair y aplicando mucho ground and pound. Pero, la definición vino tras un enorme derechazo conectado en la mandíbula del "Pantera" Rodriguez, quien sintió la pegada y termino perdiendo por TKO. Actualmente, Alexander Volkanovski me parece el mejor luchador libra por libra del UFC.

Currently, Alexander Volkanovski seems to me the best pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC.
