I wouldn't force anyone to retire as long as bj is still fighting but no way Robbie ever gets the welter weight belt.

But but but Robbie suppose to knock him out.. 😢

Lawler got dominated in the stand up and grappling. Where all the casuals who said Lawler would kill Colby and talked so much **** to people who said Colby has a high chance of winning?

Yeah. Never seen so many “men” cry so much. LOL! Bunch of beta ass nerds. #NERDBASH2019 🇺🇸

Btw... I was starting to think the thing was a wash by R5. Watch it. If he was sooo tired, from being ground out, then why was he rushing around, JUST TO STAND IN FRONT OF HIM AND NOT THROW A SINGLE ****-KING PUNCH. Annnd when he did throw, it wasn't even close to being with ruthless intent. And considering the Trump kids and family were there, Hell Donald Trump was tweeting about the fight. Anik and Dom were UNUSUALLY BIASED for Colby, since before the main card started, and then you add the Mofo coming out to a WWF fake wrestler theme music, there was thousands of times throughout the fight, where it looked like they were talking to each other, prolly saying, "Heyyy, duck low, I'm gonna do a spinning elbow.", the whole ******** with Kamaru, it all seemed scripted to me, and it ****-king disgusts me. This isn't the 1st time, I've thought about **** being scripted with UFC. And before you go saying I'm just butt-hurt, I thought it'd be a close fight, nearly a 50/50... But I was expecting Robbie to fight like Robbie. Not Chuck Liddell.

Lots of saltiness around the main event fight and I don't really see why. I mean, I almost had a last minute change of heart about Lawler, but decided to follow my gut instead. Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat, dudes 🙃

Honeslty robbie did what robbie does way too often.  Ever since losing that 5th round against Hendricks he saves to much energy all fight and goes for it in the 5th but covington didn't slow down just like RDA didn't. He always allows himself to get pushed  back to the fence and out worked for the better part of 4 rounds. We seen it all fight. 
He got out worked by condit and the judges gave it to him for his 5th round rally when he lost 3 rounds and his output in the 5th against Macdonald saved him from a loss after he lowered his pace in the 4th. Its paid off for him 3 times so he just saves energy for the 5th every time now and doesnt want to feel gassed late. 
If robbie got emotional every time he lost he would be depressed all the time since best became a gatekeeper to the elite in this division. Surprised he threw punches with no intent yesterday but it was no fix

Alpha nerd chick here.  I picked Colby because of what he does inside the cage, and because he has a nice ass, best seen when wrestle-******* another dude.  It is my fondest wish that one of the Diaz brothers would wake the **** up, and Stockton slap the mother-loving **** out of that All American MAGA little leaguer.
