What a couple of days for the UFC. The conspiratorial among us could have a field day.

I, like most other people I've seen, think we've ended up with a better card.

I was iffy about staying up to watch this but I'll have the alarm set just in case I nod off.

Savage up-kick to the liver from Aldana to finish a tight contest.

Din Thomas thinks Leech is on top???

Rodriguez has boxed the head off 'The Leech'.

Leech win incoming.

Cormier cheering on his bud didn't change things.

Good.

That didn't take long.

ASOT

Chimaevs a freak

eagle eye

Set the alarm to get up to see Khamzat. He's just so good.

Ran from Diaz.

Chimaev title fight next.

Good God, Khamzat would have killed Diaz if that fight had happened.

Colby v Khamzat next please .

Rjd2

These 2 are washed, they are both fortunate their initial fights were cancelled.

Nate may as well fight Jake Paul for some silly youtube money and ideally Tony should retire,,both get hurt against proper opponents.

Gaethje and Chandler took Tony's soul. The man looks a shell of himself. He is finished. Diaz is absolutely blessed that he dodged Khamzat. That would have been a fatality.

He took plenty of abuse even before the losses sadly.

I know he is a bit odd, but I am a little worried about him, I doubt he has enough sense to stop now sadly.

Diaz what a lad....was meant to fight a killer as punishment by Dana gets a much easier fight and much more money and wins his probable last UFC fight before he goes wherever.

Tony looked awful, that's 5 in a row losses now. Needs to hang it up but ya know he won't, no regard for himself.

This is exactly where Dana needs to step in and say "Enough" to Tony.

He'd just go to PFL/Bellator or God forbid Bare Knuckle, the dude is still a draw .

Cheap from Hamzat and stupid by Holland

Holland went to touch gloves and Hamzat shot for the take down commentary missed it, Its why Holland was standing so straight and why Hamzat got behind him so, easy,

He's absolutely a draw but UFC have a duty of care to their fighters.

Exactly he'd be a huge draw for bellator, bkfc, Jake Paul etc. Nate doesn't really have much power in his punches so last night was a grand fight for him. His was never the same after fighting gaethje

Not sure if it Gaethje or just the fact that he is 38 now ,at lightweight that is proper old,

Look at Khabib retired at 31 ,Conor drastically went down hill since he hit 30 , Dustin starting to slow down in his early 30, Holloway the same ,

Diaz himself at 37 looked fragile & ark ward on his feet at times, ,

Time waits for no man & at lighter weights its worse,
