Worst fight since Izzy and Romero.

I honestly can't see ANYTHING ever coming close to how bad that was.

 

[Uncle Petey]

You're forgetting Lewis vs Ngannou

 

[McBain]

Snoozefest main event which isn’t surprising considering Usman was involved.

Thought Max took that 3-2 but can see an argument for if going there other way, close fight.

 

[CliffyG]

Last prelim fight was the most entertaining of them all i think. I also thought Max should have won and that Usman has never been in a good fight even all the way through TUF.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Usman has never been in a good fight even all the way through TUF.

You're forgetting the Covington fight.

 

[Kaka]

Tough crowd.

I like Usman's fighting. It might not be the most exciting but he fights a smart fight and dominates his opponents. If I wanted a slug fest I go and watch BKFC.

That says it all. I don't think the Masvidal hype will die down any time soon. Usman is so boring he needs someone like him to sell his fights.

 

[Kaka]

Great, so he has a lot of Instagram followers then.

Here's the all important stats you were after.

It's UFC's official YouTube channel...

And yeah, all those foot stomps. Truly riveting stuff.

was a shockingly bad fight i lasted till round 3 then switched it off, i saw the result later which was unsurprising that i missed nothing.

 

[StevieP]

It's a shame really because Masvidal's rise was one of the most interesting things happening in the UFC - I think he would have done far better with a full training camp! (Although Usman is a beast so I'm not sure it would have changed the end result!)

 

[abbviper]

Awful main event, the thought of watching Usman fight again gives me nightmares. Thought max edged his fight.

 

[PermaChanged]

As Kamaru says, he's a problem. He doesn't elaborate to say that he's a problem for all of the UFC's Senior Execs with his lack of marketability, likability and exciting fights.

 

[PermaChanged]

The way that Figueiredo ran over Benavidez was impressive! Joes RNC defense was looking sound until that last one

 

[Somnambulist]

I'm getting on the Khamzat Chimaev (aka 'Khabig') hype train - hopefully he can have a meteoric rise and smesh Usman.

 

[Uncle Petey]

Rafael Fiziev definitely got my attention. He was a machine on Saturday against a very tough Diakiese.

 

[Quinnaay]

Damn Khazmat could be the real deal. Literally a carbon copy of Khabib.

 

[Somnambulist]

I'm getting on the Khamzat Chimaev (aka 'Khabig') hype train - hopefully he can have a meteoric rise and smesh Usman.

He smesh again. That was almost an illegal beating.

 

[Somnambulist]

Some great fights tonight. That impressive Russian escaping that locked-in d’arce choke was unreal.

Also Herb Dean on that ‘if he dies, he dies’ ref flex. Dan Hardy going ape at him off mic.

 

[Kaka]

Didn't seem like a clean knock out so I can understand why Herb Dean was hanging back a little before stepping in.

Also Chimeav looks promising and he's certainly very confident, but there's a big difference in class in the guys he has fought compared to the current top 15.
