Co-main was boring as well, I wouldn't miss Gordon v Santos though.

This wasn't an amazing card. The ones I would recommend watching are: 

Victor Altamirano vs Daniel Da Silva


Ange Loosa vs AJ Fletcher


Tyson Pedro vs Harry Hunsucker


Paulo Costa vs Luke Rockhold


Leon Edwards vs Kamaru Usman

Stopping a takedown is exactly as valuable as getting a takedown.

I’ve seen that they didn’t count Colbys to take downs as official take downs. I’m glad Edwards got one because that was a takedown.

Not sure if this is been mentioned yet but that was the latest loss of a title in a fight. The latest before that was all the way back in UFC 39 when Couture lost to Rodriguez.

The latest loss of a title… what? As in that’s the latest a champion has been finished in a fight?

DrChaotic, I’ve been wondering the same thing. At first I thought he was gonna smile and tell somebody something but then he just got up and left.
