From almost getting knocked out by Diaz in the last minute too knocking usman out cold in the last minute, that’s insane

Leon is one of those fighters fights to the level of his opponents. Still insane how he finished Usman after losing a majority of the fight but almost got finished by Diaz when he was winning every single second of that fight. This sport is crazy and I love it

Can we talk about how many fence grabs/ glove grabs/ fake eye-pokes and low-blows Usman got away with last night? Herb should've taken a point but unsurprisingly, he let Usman play by his own rules. Usman is a blatant cheater and it felt so good to see him finally get laid TF out.

Usman was mean mugging him after every round, I think he got a little ****y and man Leon made him pay for it. Not taking anything away from Leon, he flat lined the best P4P fighter and a guy I thought would go unbeaten and retire the best. Shiet.

So apparently usman was the one on the phone with Dana during the post fight presser saying that champs **** up some times but given the opportunity will kill Leon in a rematch. Dana basically guaranteed a rematch

Usman was never P4P #1, Volk, Izzy, Makhachev, Oliveira would all beat him if they were 170

If Volk was 170 it would be a very interesting match up

If Izzy was 170 he would get grinded out and beat up bad

Makhachev would not beat him right now or I don't think ever

Oliveira would get knocked out

Woke up to watch the rest of the card I missed. Got slaughtered in basically all my picks but somehow the main event was my best pick. Top two fights were great!

it's crazy that DC at broadcast always praises his friends, even when they're get mauled, and is being very critical on Luke's

lol I swear Herb is sleep walking half the time. felt like he was more lenient towards Usman's fouls here than he was with McGregor in the Khabib fight

This was the worst main event of all time. Nobody fought w/ purpose. Kamaru got KO’d because he was coasting instead of finishing the fight, costa and Rockhold fight was a disgrace to MMA/UFC. Pedro got a garbage set up fight. Lastly, Aldo vs Merab may have been 1 of the most boring fights I’ve ever seen.

Nate Diaz almost beat the WW champ a fight ago. Imagine somehow Diaz survives to the 5th round and slaps a RNC on Khamzat  and then the UFC have to resign him for 3x the pay and give him a title shot.

Go watch Adesayna kick people legs without doing damage for 25 minute, I think that you taste. People will complain about anything nowaday, The main event was awesome, The pound 4 pound champion and a guy who 15-0 in the UFC got KTFO with a head kick in the closing minutes of the fight, I don't think I had more of a reaction to a fight than that

Also, Costa vs Rockhold was great, Not all fights have to be technical masterclass, But it was fun, I bet you were mad you had Costa by KO
