Edit: I'm an Army medic, I've seen the atrocities of war.  I've cried maybe 5 times in my life. 
One of those times was right now. Not that I feel Holloway guaranteed won, but with all of my heart I wanted him to, and I feel like he very well could have.

I’m done betting on mma. Judges can’t be trusted volk basically wins a fight by making it closer for 3 rounds? Failing on takedowns multiple times a round. Bs volk won no part of that fight

That decision was some BS. Not a robbery, but the wrong decision.

masvidal is savage but usman is just...champ,yes I don't think we will see finish or even fun fight...but usman is a problem and if you ask me...he should go to 185 by 2021 and win second belt.

he is definitely NOT a finisher but I don't see anybody in 155,170,185 that can touch this dude...yes I am saying that this guy can beat khabib on the ground.

@fish Thanks brother, I'm just kinda drunk and very loyal to Max been supporting him every since his debut. 
Anyways, going for Masvidal but (as many would agree) head is going with the champ

Usman is scared.

The man Refused to go around the cage.
The man is showing signs of worry. I think the Askren KO messed up his mindset since he was there front row in literal awe.
