Same here, but people are asking for some reason.

I'm just in awe at how amazing this card was

Top-tier, for sure, this is an easy Event of the Year contender.

I think Usmans pretty clearly above hughes now, which a lot of people were arguing before Burns and masvidal 2. I think that can be laid to rest. He’s got a lot of work to do if he wants to catch George

It’s gonna take some time to digest what I’ve witnessed tonight

I'm so exhausted after all of it

Who are these goobers?

Something just always bothers me about chubby couch potatoes analyzing athletes.

What are you talking about? One of them was a pro fighter, the other a high school wrestler.

People saying it’s karma for Weidman is grinding my gears a bit too. No one deserves their leg broken like that, and it’s just stupid anyway because karma if you believe in it is to do with the morality of an action.

I'm with you on that, it felt crappy for people to trash on Weidman after that. Even if Weidman celebrated after Silva did that, it doesn't mean it should happen to him and that he deserved it. Weidman checked a kick, I don't even think that Hall fully checked it...I think it just exploded on impact.

I think he was just celebrating his win, but I get how Anderson fans wouldn’t like that. Also the Anderson Weidman 2 fight ended in round 2, so Chris probably felt like he’d been in more of a fight than Hall and was naturally more emotional, especially if like you said he intended to check the kick where as Hall didn’t really check it at all, Weidman just blasted him full force.

 

[M.A.G.A.]

Streamers have defeated the UFC

Dana White just conceded

[Gio]

He may not be a fan fave and not have the charisma like GSP, but you gotta admire the skills, determination, and class of Usman. He has the potential to be the greatest WW of all time certainly. Knowing that he has surpassed GSP's win streak, catching up with GSP or Hughes' title defenses should be another motivation to elevate his status. He's on the right track. Good luck to his rematch with Colby.

 

[Armbars]

It'll always be GSP

Conor is the best
