Lawler just showed how to not stop takedowns and not throw a punch to hard in order to lose. I have never been so bummed or disgusted by one of my ex-favorite fighters. I am dying in the hospital and would bet my last few months that Lawler threw that fight. Really Gross.

Don't regret picking Lawler even though I knew he'd lose. I'll never back the ******. Well, I might but man, that guy would have to be seriously ******* boring/annoying.

From now on Lawler should only get bangers instead of grinders

Lawler is 37 years old and has been in countless wars. Colby beating him shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

That was a knife vs butter. 


Woodley is done..but would get smoked by Colby. 

I don't see Colby beating Usman but he does have a chance. 


Askren, Lawler, Woodley...catching L's. Embrace the new era of cardio & wrestling.

Wresler grinding striker may be boring but Wresler facing each other is generally intriguing fight because they have to show who mixt thing up better. Like Usman demolishing Woodley.

Woodley vs Maia and Woodley vs Thompson were the most boring fights in UFC history.

That card was not that bad if you think of the low expectation. 

If some of you still want more, Browne and Pascal should be a good boxing fight, unless Browne hold and run all night.

@ bruce, i would add woodley vs usman to that list and that makes a clean sweep for woodley. i think usman out wrestles colby for a very boring decision

lol yeah--no ****. It was a heart pick. I'll make those, sometimes. I didn't actually expect him to win. But if he had, it would have been glorious.

Just happy that my very presence inspires you to have an apoplexy really. Living in your head rent free! I shouldn't sink in the boot too much really. Already at 66% cherry picking UFC only. I mean, I'm a troll, but I like to think I'm above wailing on the disabled.
