    Masvidal is one of those guys who has REAL star power if he could only ever put everything together enough to get a shot at gold.

    Would love to see him take on Usman.

    What you guys think about Nunez in 1? Hope she doesn't come out cagey.

    He dropped his head when masvidal is still two strides away, just asking to eat a knee

    He actually dropped after Jorge jumped.

    It's madness. I don't want to call it a fluke, but it's a ****ing fluke.

    I think Holm is at the end of her career so I think that might happen.

    I think this’ll be a lot more competitive than many expect, but Nunes will prevail in the end as usual. I’ll go for her via TKO in the championship rounds, this is the real main event for me. Fascinating WMMA fight.

    Dustin on twitter saying Mike Brown had told him they'd practiced the flying knee, showed him vid of Masvidal doing same. Still, another thing to pull it off.

    I couldn't disagree more.

    He has no ability to speak publicly, his skill is handicapped by his inability to actually sell or promote a fight. I love Jorge, but He's as dumb as a post.

    Ben doesn't have a history of dropping to his kneens within 1 second, so it's still a freak.

    Holm has never been KO’ed, I don’t think it’ll happen inside a round tbh.

    Later on, probably.

    EDIT: never mind, enjoy your winnings. :D

    i mean distance between them,more than masvidal taking two strides. Very poor decision making by askren.

    Those follow-up strikes from Nunes were so accurate too, so many dive in and throw wildly in that situation but Nunes showed incredible composure to finish the fight.
