Those replays are awful, they shouldn't show them.

I'd say they could even give a warning but there's no way I can look away, even though I know what I'm going to see.

Nasty!

I was eating crisps when that fight started. I didn't finish them. That was horrendous.

That crunch you heard wasn't the Chilli Heatwave in your mouth

I had a similar injury at 8 years old. Dislocated elbow. Had to hold my arm with the other arm. Had bad flashbacks during the official result there.

MrStuffins

Surely Maia is done? He looked old and tired in there.

Good, professional performance by Muhammad.

Not a great fight. On to the big ones now. Has Nate any chance here?

Can't see it myself

Totally uneventful, I love Maia he's kept himself in good stead and to hang around to his age the way he goes about it is remarkable but when his limitations produce results like this it's nearly time, I'd give him one more crack at an old timer perhaps not a guy on a 5 fight win streak.

Just woke at 2nd round of the last fight so should be OK to stay awake now

Brilliant takedown defense by Belal but they should let Maia v Cerrone have a retirement fight. They are both fighting well past their peak.

Now onto the first 5-rounder without being a main event?

Not sure I reckon we'll have an idea after a minute for this one.

Have to agree but would love to be wrong.

Something rubs me the wrong way about Edwards so I'd love to see an upset here

Edwards is excellent so far, that last keg kick really hurt Nate

Jesus I hope this isn't a Dr stoppage

RunSlowGetHigh

Have to laugh at this. Nate getting absolutely lit up and all the commentators can talk about is how "awkward" he is and how his "clowning around" is so hard for his opponents to deal with.

Edwards nearly sh!t the bed

MrStuffins

Nate's a f*cking idiot!

He hurt Edwards and rather than go after him, he started taunting and letting him off the hook.

It cost him the fight. Unbelievable!

Some last minute from Diaz, he had Edwards hurt badly. Thought he was gonna finish it. Leon wobbling for the last minute hut did well to survive.

Easy 49-46 win for Edwards for me, hope he gets the title shot now.

Nate Diaz is an idiot. He wobbles Edwards badly with one minute to go and what does he do? Act around and showboat despite being down all 4 rounds which let Leon recover to survive the last 30 seconds. If Nate had any common sense he would have went hell for leather there and then and Leon would have crumbled. Actually sickened by the stupidity of Nate.

:pac:

Leon really wanted to take his head off there in the 5th and it nearly cost him. Back in my box...

He had it. And show boated instead. I'm raging with him

Same here.

I didn't really care who won, but it annoys me when he has a guy half the way out of there with seconds left in the round and let's him away with it.

FFS!

Nathaniel Diaz is one tough bastard.

I had to laugh at Edwards looking up at the clock because he was definitely too googly-eyed to see it haha.

pappyodaniel

All the experts slagging off Nate. I'd say he was as surprised as ye that he hit him so hard. Gimme a break.

EagererBeaver

And that's why this fight was impossible to understand from Edwards' perspective. Completely dominant against an inferior fight but all anyone will remember is Nate drilling him. Hard to see a title shot off the back of it without another fight somewhere.

Seriously disappointing end, the KO was presented to Nate on a plate and he chooses to showboat.
