Nunes was impressive, if a little boring, but dominated overall.
Yan was excellent - really impressive, ok against a previously retired 40 year old, but still a title shot for sure.
Aldo fight was a funny one - I can make a case for the outcome but probably on balance I would have given it to Aldo.
Volk v Hollaway - Again - tough fight, but the right outcome for me.
Main event was very good - Usman was superb, calculated, impressive, never really looked shaken at all. For me Usman scored constant good solid, heavy shots throughout the fight so I had him 3-1 up before the stoppage - nothing wrong with the stoppage, Colby was done at that point for me.

yeah goes way over the top, goldie was the worst for that.
he said on the stool his jaw got broke but av not looked up to see if it deffo was. the replay of it happening looked like it could've been.
Yep, Aldo got royally screwed.
Seems to be at least one robbery per card these days, maybe it’s mandatory.

Yup
“Following an addendum medical report completed regarding Colby Covington, it has been determined that he has suffered a non-displaced midline mandible fracture.”
Dana said in the press scrum after that the 3 judges had it 3-1, 1-3 & 2-2....

Agree with this, although not sure how much of me feeling that way is due to Joe Rogans commentary.

I think the most shocking thing I learned at 245 was that José Aldo is only 33 years old!
Dude looks 45 if he's a day! He's been fighting for a long as I can remember, can't believe he's only 33!
Conversely, if it was my first time watching MMA I'd be surprised to hear that Faber is 40! The guy looks pretty incredible for his age.
Aldo in the WEC was an absolute beast. Urijah Faber breaking both hands against Mike Brown always springs to mind when I think of the WEC. The guy had no quit in him even though he could only throw elbows in the standup but still fought on.

Rampage was too old, too fat and too slow for Fedor
Yeah, I may have made that this comment without seeing the weigh-in.
I expected Rampage to at least come in partly in shape, although I guess round is a shape, right lol.
I never thought I would see the day that Rampage took a dive in a fight
