    They have been keeping the pace going despite the quick finishes. Usually they just show endless promos.

    Thank god for that, they usually do a better job of moving things along on PPV since there’s no reason to fill time, but this pace is the quickest I can remember for sure.

    Would fancy Nunes but at the very least it'd be like not-Don King in The Simpsons begging Moe to just give him someone who can go a couple of rounds.


    You'd fancy Nunes becaue she's bigger but pound for pound I couldn't split them.

    Right on the money, nothing better than a head kick!!

    Don't know what Zhang was complaining about though.

    Great knockout, DC let out a mad cackle during the reply at her being out cold, shouldn't really laugh at that.

    I thought Joe wasn't interviewing people who got KO'd anymore.

    If I was in the cage one minute but woke up in 2023 the next I'd be confused too.

    Wow. Did not see that one coming. Nailed her with that high-kick - ref did Zhang a favour, it was over.

    3/3 in 2 bets so far.
    Split for the main event, Usman by points or Masvidal KO/TKO.
    Cashing out is for bitches. :pac:

    Not often you get the main event at 5am in a normal event, never mind a 3 title fight card.

    MMA gods have been kind to us tonight, just not to Chris Weidman.

    That kick was lightening fast.

    Anyone for a tad early stoppage......
    Give her 5 seconds to see how she reacts to the shots on the ground.

    Nah, by the time the first groundstrike was thrown she looked fresh out again. If she'd been fully conscious she would've got her arms out much quicker but she looked out.

    No way was it early. After the kick she tries to get up by just sitting straight up while not even looking at Rose. Then takes a few shots on the ground without trying to even block them. I'm pretty sure she was wobbly as well when she stood up.

    It feels like even the UFC are struggling to market this one as competitive.

    Usman to win five rounds, possibly with a 10-8 or two thrown in.

    Looking at the replay she clearly wasn't out, she was still all there. But at the same time when it was stopped she was on her feet but wobbling a little bit. I would prefer if the refs actually stop being so safe because she wasn't limp at all.

    She was a goner. Never an early stoppage!

    Nah she had her eyes open and was defending herself. Definition of an early stoppage in my opinion. She was wobbling though so I will concede that..

    I've always been a fan of Usman the fighter. From TUF all the way to the belt.

    But I can't warm to him. He's a bit boring and doesn't have much on the personality side.

    Wouldn't be mad at an upset here.
