"Was watching that fight and going 'is this...... Bullying'. "

In a rather salty reaction, @iamthemisterx wrote:

"That only shows 2 things: Spivak sucks [and] Spivak forgot how to do [a] takedown. Gane is not champ material. Jon Jones proved it and Pavlovich or Aspinall will prove it again."

"Jeeeeeeze, I didn’t realize it was this one-sided."

Fight fan @MeShawn143 opined:

"It's not that he's that good it's [that] the other guy is that bad. Terrible matchmaking."

In a pun-filled reaction, @bennykanoff poked fun at the Spivak's moniker - 'The Polar Bear,' saying:

"Most damage done to a polar bear since global warming."

In another hilarious response, @BarneyStinson13 wrote:

"Spivak on 400 ping."
