What a glorious performance from TJ Dillashaw in defense of his bantamweight title at UFC on Fox 16. He took Barao out just like the first time around, only this time he left no doubt about how exactly he did it. Dillashaw was cutting angles on the former champ all night. Landing the bigger harder shots and only there to be hit back on rare occasions. Otherwise, Meisha Tate booked herself a third crack at Ronda Rousey and Edson Barboza and Paul Felder delivered a performance that had all the hardcore fight fans drooling.
But enough from the fans, what did the fighters think? The UFC’s only fighters were watching all the bouts from the sidelines tonight, and here’s all the best, worst, and most public of what they had to say about the action:

Stop breaking Eddie Winland’s jaw. Jerks. #UFCChicago

Wineland started to find his range during rd 3 but unfortunately didn’t get enough done and caraway should get the win. #UFConFOX16

You know Robertson got his vitamin D this camp rocking that nice farmers tan #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 25, 2015
I’ve only seen an omoplata work once and he had to chase it for like 4 mins #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 25, 2015
Time for @bensaundersMMA to display that #Killabee Muaythai Using too long attacks to establish his range
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
You ever wish you were a southpaw? #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 25, 2015
After that first omoplata I guess you just become Eddie Bravo out there
— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) July 25, 2015
Great 1st round !!! #ufcOnFox
— Felice Herrig (@feliceherrig) July 25, 2015
About time he countered the kick!! Only took him eating 30 kicks to try
— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) July 25, 2015
If that was his “broken” arm, hate to get hit with his good arm. #UFCChicago
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 25, 2015
@bensaundersMMA #Killabee got tagged just before the round but too short of time to see any hits 1st round 10-9 Saunders round 2 up next
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
Thought maybe Robertson broke his arm checking a left head kick but then he bombs Saunders with a rt hand and drops him rd 1 rob #UFConFOX16
— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) July 25, 2015
Can’t take too many of those round house kicks to the arm Robertson is gonna have a sore arm after the fight!!! I know from experience
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
Saunders is just stiff as fuck. Left kick….left kick….left kick. He must have some boring pad work
— Kevin Lee (@MoTownPhenom) July 25, 2015
Nut shot was long overdue with all them inside legkicks. Great striking match tho! #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 25, 2015
Nut shot halts the action…Saunders is so much bigger maybe he’s just not used to kicking at knee cap height
— Sarah Kaufman (@mmasarah) July 25, 2015
Always sounds like a good idea until you get hit in the nuts. https://t.co/kPRBPORvvb
— Coach (@CMPunk) July 25, 2015
Ooo eye poke…. Lol ahh shake it off & fight!!! Nice body kicks by @bensaundersMMA Robertson feeling the sting
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
Kenny Robertson is an old Wild West gun slinger. #UFCChicago
— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) July 25, 2015
Robertson really pushing the pace! Testing @bensaundersMMA Conditioning but #Killabee keeps pressing fwd. 2nd round done too close to call
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
They’re fighting in the middle of the 2nd as if it’s the last 30 of a title fight!! #sleeper #UFCChicago

@bensaundersMMA vs Robertson good close battle, #Killabee getting into the muaythai rhythm, Now its in the ground!!! Let’s see a jits clinic

Id get pissed if everytime I did something, people talked about my teammate. “Look at that jab, just like Dillashaw!”

I don’t know, Joe. Did you see Bang on the BAS Body Action System? #UFCChicago

“Is that TJ Dillashaw”? No, Goldie, no it isn’t. #UFCChicago
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 25, 2015
Nothing against the lightweights fighting right now but, I thought Castillo was short… Headkicks flying right over millers head no prob
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
Castillo’s profile looks exactly like Verdum #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 25, 2015
If this MMA thing doesn’t work out, the Miller Bros. have a great future as a ’70s-influenced, classic rock band. #UFCChicago
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 25, 2015
2nd round done, Castillo figured out he didn’t have to throw the head kicks too high. Landed a couple before the round went out. Rnd 3 next
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
Nice left hand sent Castillo to the ground, scrambled back up no prob… Back on the feet few exchanges now Miller pressing the pace
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
Castillo needs to hit a Duck under when Miller rushes toward to complete a takedown… #BacktoBasics #Wrestling Open shots 50/50
— Tony Ferguson (@TonyFergusonXT) July 25, 2015
Is that Ludwig in Miller’s corner? Cause he’s acquired some nasty leg kicks. Digging the lean back head kick defense too #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 25, 2015
30-27? Um… #UFCChicago

U can always tell when Baraos hurt bc he throws dumb desperate strikes & TJ is 2much once again Smh looks just like the 1st time #UFConFOX16
— Anthony Birchak (@abirchakMMA) July 26, 2015
TJ’s in and out pressure too much for the Baron. Schmegal is going down boys #UFCChicago
— Scott Holtzman (@HotSauceHoltzy) July 26, 2015
I think TJ finish him
— khabib nurmagomedov (@TeamKhabib) July 26, 2015
When TJ works his game, Barao looks just as lost as in their first fight. If he stands in front of him, makes it a coin toss. #UFCChicago
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 26, 2015
TJs southpaw is when he’s most effective and whacks Barao the best #UFCChicago #UFConFOX16
— Anthony Birchak (@abirchakMMA) July 26, 2015
Baraos still a sucker for that lockdown stepping left head kick! I see that connecting and ending the fight again! #UFCChicago #UFConFOX16
— Anthony Birchak (@abirchakMMA) July 26, 2015
Barao is fighting in streight lines-that’s why TJ can counter going backwards.
— Dominick Cruz (@TheDomin8r) July 26, 2015
Barao has been looking really slow to me all night! Doesn’t look like it’s gonna end well for him!
— Michael Johnson (@FollowTheMenace) July 26, 2015
Man barao is looking tried that’s not a good sign as TJ won’t get tried #UFCChicago
— Brad Pickett (@One_Punch) July 26, 2015
This reminds me of every episode of Dragonball Z with all the standing and looking at each other #UFCChicago #powerover9000

Everyone on TJ’s balls but Barao looks more game than their first fight #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 26, 2015
Man I thought Barao was gonna make this a more competitive match but I guess when U got some1s number U got their number! @ufc #UFConFOX16

Man they both look tired but tj is def killing it. #UFC
— Stephen Thompson (@WonderboyMMA) July 26, 2015
Hair Barao doing better than no-hair Barao, but still really hasn’t addressed the problems TJ presented in their first fight. #UFCChicago
— The Spartan (@EliasTheodorou) July 26, 2015
If this was the powerball lottery, Dillashaw just won big. He has Barao’s number! #UFCChicago

Can’t help but feel sorry for Barao, still on his feet & contesting the stoppage, but that was an awesome finish by the champ #UFCChicago
— Angela Hill (@AngieOverkill) July 26, 2015
T.J Dillashaw made Barao look like an amateur. Beautiful performance. Real champ.
