Ivanov with the much better connected strikes. An awkward southpaw with power seems to be a good opponent for jds. I'm sure jds will find some rhythm thought

Oh shit, it's 3 more rounds… #UFCBoise

Ivanov shows why HW is such a crazy division: one punch can change everything, and he finally lands something heavy. #UFCBoise

Jds with the win although herb Dean was pretty lax with the finger pointing warnings

The new champ-champ may have the same belly as Ivanov at HW, but he would dominate this version of JDS. #UFCBoise pic.twitter.com/xJkgbTPt5D

Ivanov is an interesting new piece in the heavyweight landscape. Plenty of fun match ups for him. His best octagon performances are ahead. #UFCBoise
