This happened and now referee Mike Beltran is screaming for action with 2 minutes left in Round 1. #UFC304 https://t.co/SD7Ijt2muP

In the history of bad blood fights they 90-% of the time end up being snooze fest fights.

Kape looking tentative. But really just trying to make Mokaev take a telegraphed shot. #UFC304

They were trolling

I believe Mokaev just admitted to Kape he can’t stand with him and Kape proved he can stop Mokaev’s takedown. This might end in the 2nd. #UFC304

Looks like Kape has injured his big toe.

Broke his toe and got pantsed… rough round for Kape so far #UFC304

Kape’s take down defense is drastically weakened from that toe. Mokaev should be shooting. #UFC304

Should've just let them fight at the hotel.

I guess 1-1 … everything about this fight is a circus #UFC304

If you’re not taking a point for that egregious shorts grab, why even have it in the rules? Maybe if refs started taking points, fighters would stop cheating #UFC304

Man Mokaev is scared to get in the pocket with Kape. He is very cowardly fight. Especially give how he was acting before the fight

Those elbows to the top of the head can’t feel good #UFC304

Why are they hugging 🤮🤮🤮. Mokaev barely even engaged in that fight, he was selling wolf tickets

A not so violent fight that ended with a hug. We’ve been bamboozled.

A toss up because very little damage was done. After all the extracurriculars and “bad blood” #ufc304

Flyweights needed this rivalry, but the fight didn’t match its grudge. We need the Champ to stir the pot or the flyweights may be in jeopardy again. Who knows maybe triple C could save it again!? 😉

Yah they were on the right spot on the card
