Tbh Usman was probably the person/champ I LEAST expected to lose their title. He was the most dominant champ with the most title defenses. Maybe Izzy if he somehow gets through Pereira but I doubt he will (hopefully). Nunes was the most dominant but she’s a woman, the competition ain’t there and she recently lost. Shevchenko maybe but once again **** competition. Figgy recently lost and will hopefully lose again, Jiri just won the title (barely), and Ngannou has got quite a few tough matchups coming up if he sticks around (which he ******* better do)

Volk is the closest thing to a dominant champion we have now that Usman lost but he’s def losing his next fight. I don’t favor him against either Islam or Charles (hopefully pray to god it’s Charles though)

Taybazza, I’ll always remember that Rodriguez fight because that was the very first fight that was ended in the fifth round. I saw it live and I felt at Couture let that fight slip away. He won the first two rounds and then lost the next two and then there was that stoppage in the fifth.

The ufc always delivers. Incredible. After seing pudilova and hunsucker were on ppv i thought im gonna skip this. Not worth pulling an all nighter. But i did. And wow seing costa rockhold and then that ko. Its like it was an apparition sent by god himself that sparked a fire. Feeling down with life and all and then suddenly its like boom. What is this. I have to go to ufc paris. What an indescribable feeling. There is nothing like mma. Uncle dana you did it again

The main event was KO of the year for me, That was the most insane thing I seen, 50% of why it nut is because It Kamuru Usman, a clear Top 5 most dominent fighter ever , So it not a 100 year old senior citizen or a can like most cool KO, Also, It was brutal headkick that sent his opponet to the shadow realm

Erison when did you become an edwards hater just seen loads of your posts acting like Gunnar Belsen was his best win lol. He dominated rda much worse than Colby or usman did and has a win over luque. I’m pretty sure he dropped him in that fight as well. Not his fault people kept turning him down and masvidal pulled out to fight Colby instead.

He had a bad performance today I think he’s better then those 3 rounds. The pressure got to him he was against usman and herb dean and still got away with the belt somehow

Tyson Pedro vs Hunsucker wasn't really worth it, Hunsucker got Ko'd instently, But who cares because Hunsucker is the worst fighter on the roster

Anyone else think rockhold has plenty to offer still? Sometimes just being active makes you perform better he’s rusty but not washed imo. I think a few fights with lower ranked guys and he could easily be competitive in the top 10 again

yeah, he can perform but I don't see him doing it. already proved his point and knows that he is too old. about the fight, I want to see later how he broke his nose, cause I think this ****** up him.

and I don't see Borrachinha beating a top 5

I’m not an Edwards hater, but the “win streak” which became his claim to fame/justification for the title shot and the basis for this aura that he’s underrated was always pretty thin. Of course he beat those guys. 

And he just pulled off a miracle so it’s not worth hating on him right now, but it shouldn’t be controversial to say that the majority of their two fights where Usman battered him is probably a fair example of how they match up. I thought it going into this one and I’ll think it going into the third fight.

After the celebration and interviews, it’s hard not to like Leon honestly. He’s living a sports movie moment right now. And seems totally genuine about everything he’s experiencing. It rules.
