Didn’t pay attention, but I see Arlovski is still bustin these young people’s asses. #UFCVegas13

The difference is the versatility of attacks from Barcelos. Taha isn’t doing anything but boxing. Taha has crisp hands and power but it’s 1-dimensional as we’re seeing. He needs something big here or Barcelos is running away with this clear win. #UFCVegas13

Barcelos vs Taha was an absolutely amazing fight. These dudes aren’t even ranked and that look like a top ten level fight in any other weight class.

Wow Barcelos looked phenomenal and super well rounded everywhere!
— James Vick (@JamesVickMMA) November 8, 2020
Man what a fight so much skill and heart and guts!!!!

Heart! #taha is definitely showed that in this fight. I would love to fight him but as of right now #barcelos is the dangerous fighter and I want that fight #UFCVegas13
— Andre Ewell (@daii24_dre) November 8, 2020
Very impressed with Barcelos! Check knee, calf, hand combos. Straight savage! #UFCVegas13

Ohhhhhh that was such a relaxed patient performance by giga
— Belal Muhammad (@bullyb170) November 8, 2020
Body kick, looks low again while going high instead. Pretty much perfect #UFCVegas13
