I really liked Frankie Edgar vs Cub Swanson. Cub didn't exactly tower over Edgar but it didn't look like Edgar should have been able to hold him down so easily.

I usually like Dom's commentary because he does know his stuff. He makes an effort to explain the technical side of fights. This last event he wasn't in top form though. Bryan Stann and Dan Hardy were great. The best right now are probably DC and Felder. The guy they bring in for British events...

Khabib shouldn't even be mentioned next to those 2 or Anderson or Fedor or Aldo. GOATs clear their divisions, usually more than once.

There was also: Condit vs Woodley Conor vs Holloway - and Conor still won

Kid already learned the lazy calf kick that gave Izzy so much trouble.

This. Anderson Silva didn't even beat Anderson Silva once.

Condit walked through bombs from Hendricks and Lawler. It wasn't just that he never got KO'ed, it's that he didn't let the other guy's power shots intimidate him in the least.

Woodley was disliked for being boring and also for thinking he was hot shit, throwing around the word "greatest" when referring to himself even though he was dominated by Rory and never avenged that loss. Meanwhile Aljo got hate for winning the title off a DQ but honestly can't fault him...

He also made good reads. Whittaker started doing his usual thing and he looked like was outclassing DDP with sheer speed and accuracy. But with every exchange DDP got better at defending and countering.

Izzy's mind games work really well for him. Anderson did the same to Belfort, who was a big threat at the time.

Absolutely. At some point they talked about Moreno outstriking Pantoja and someone pointed out that the numbers were about even so they said "well that's surprising but Moreno landed the better shots" and it was bullshit. I think Pantoja landed a lot more at close range so maybe they couldn't...

I really liked his attitude from round 1. He looked so confident in his ability to beat Moreno he just plodded forward and landed big strikes. Then later he outgrappled him. I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up better in his next fight, with better striking defense. The confidence, toughness...

Werdum said in his podcast that Ferguson at a later time came up to him and said something like "Werdum, I respect you". And they shook hands and that was it.

GOATs clear out their divisions. Usman fought 5 guys in his title reign, one of them a journeyman lightweight, and he lost to the 5th guy. So he beat 3 legit WW contenders as champ, if you count winning the title. Not even close.

I wanna see it. Anderson deserves a proper sendoff with the sort of wild spectacle the Japanese are so good at.

Given how Izzy was struggling to stand on his calves and how consistently Pereira was landing those leg kicks, one can't help but wonder what would have happened if the fight had gone on for longer. But the KO was no fluke. As you said, it was similar to the near-KO of the first fight. Izzy...

Why are so many people feeding the troll?

I'm all for giving people shots when they don't deserve them. You never know when a random fighter will just match well with the champ. Dillashaw is another example, even though in his case PEDs played an important role, as we know. But there were definitely people ahead of Bisping at the time...

I don't remember all the details but there was an uproar on Sherdog about that fight. Bisping didn't deserve it, he'd already been badly beaten by Rockhold, nobody gave him a chance or wanted to see that fight. And someone made a big thread explaining why Bisping was the best choice because...

He should have rematched Pereira when he was champ. The stars would have to align. I think Bisping was ranked #8 for Rockhold 2 but everyone else was injured. Pereira may be levels above (also levels above Rockhold in the striking department) but he's hittable. One lucky punch from Sean and we...
