@Brad Nunes is defo the GOAT. No doubt in my mind...She's beaten everyone. Rousey, cyborg, Valentina...and now GDR AGAIN. No other girl out there with a comparable record. I dunno who's out there to beat her either. Gonna be champ for a long time.
Ultimately decided on Usman because I decided Colby's distance management and power are both Rubbish. Everyone kept talking about Colby's gas tank and his output, but weren't talking about the fact he landed 156, 345 strikes on Lawler that did absolutely nothing. Zero power.

Yeah that's true, Budd is good. We'll see how good though....Cyborg will be looking to make a statement big time on debut.

I don't think it was a robbery and I expected it to go to split. The third round was hard to score. Marlon shows damage more because he's white and he was cut in the second. Watching it live I did think Moraes landed the better power shots and was slightly outworked in overall strikes.

Yeah, Aldo definitely won if we're talking PRIDE/schoolyard and if there was another round I reckon Aldo would have finished him.

I felt Aldo won the fight personally. If he would’ve kept up the volume in the third like he did the second, there would’ve been no doubt. But he slowed his output in the third, making the round so much closer than it had to be. Had Aldo kept throwing more, he would’ve got the nod. Close fight, wouldn’t call it a blatant robbery, but I thought Aldo still should’ve got the decision.
And I’m definitely taking Aldo in he future match against Triple C. Aldo looked so good last night against an absolute monster in Marlon Moraes. Things are so interesting in the Bantamweight division right now!

@mickey - I agree that he doesn’t deserve the next shot at all. Aljo deserves it at 135, and Joe B’s still waiting for his shot at 125. But Dana’s gonna do whatever the **** he wants, and he wants that Aldo/Cejudo fight next.

@ free he was on the back foot, but he was also countering and coming forward in spurts. He did hit Aldo harder than Aldo hit him in that round, just not as much. As I said watching it live, ring generalship can't enter the Judges considerations unless they believe nobody displayed a clear advantage in immediate damage. Ergo the third depends on who you think hit who harder.However, accumulative damage is prioritized above ring generalship, and Aldo hit Moraes more. I can see why you an others had it for Aldo though and I wouldn't have minded him getting it.

Aldana and Brown where the shark's highlights besides the obvious release that the bloodied up Colby face did to my sharky feelings, great night of fights

Moreno-Kara France should have received the 50K fight of the night bonus. I know Usman & Covington was really anticipated and they delliver. Bbut looking only at the fight, and not at the grudge all around, Moreno outslugging Kara-France with wild movement was the best one.
