I thought Carlyle did enough in the second but both guys hadn’t their moments.

We can complain about the main event and lack of a proper co-main but there are some damn good fights on that card next week.

With a real main event it would be one of the best cards of the year

it’s basically a die hards card- pretty much every fight is enticing to somebody who really enjoys watching fighting...there just isn’t really any star power outside of Amanda (and even then she fits better in the co-main)

I’ll be buying the card but I def don’t fault those who wouldn’t

Ivanov isn’t the most exciting but damn is he a rugged grinder w a ridiculous chin


Just a frumpy dude that survived being stabbed in the chest and was in a coma, oh yeah he’s one of the best heavyweights in the world...super casual.

Gotta dock a point for that fence grab and I’m only saying that because I bet on ivanov

on replay that’s brutal tho, they actually should have docked a point

When it’s that blatant you have to take a point or at least restart it on the ground.

Commentary is out of their minds, I don't know what Bisping watched. Robbery even without the non-call imo.

Martinez’s catch phrase doesn’t really hit without a crowd.

Perfect start for Burns. He looks great. We’ll see if letting Woodley get out of that mount position will end up costing him.

Woodley doesn’t look much different from the Usman fight so far. Outside of that explosion to start the second round, he hasn’t done anything.

Burns looks amazing. The speed on that combo when he dropped Woodley was impressive.

Woodley looking at clock with about three mins left in the round and just being content with his back against the cage said it all.

50-45 or 50-44 for Burns.

Woodley’s poor showing and inability to do anything has to be mentioned but Burns’ performance is still the main story. He looked better than ever. Striking looked good and he showed he can go five rounds.

Burns vs. Edwards/Covington next assuming Masvidal gets the title shot. If Masvidal fights Diaz again or they just can’t make the Usman fight happen for some reason then I wouldn’t even be opposed to Burns getting the title shot.

Great win by Burns, but more than anything Woodley looked awful.

I usually hate when people say a fighter should retire and I'm not saying that... but Woodley might. Has always had other interests outside of the cage and looks completely disinterested in there.

50-45 Burns


Woodley has been super hesitant in his last couple fights

Woodley has lost 10 straight rounds. I hope any talk about him as welterweight goat is destroyed. Darren Till was his only impressive defense IMO.
