If Masvidal hits Usman clean its lights out time if not Usman wins, I wish Weidman would retire, I hope Schevchenko beats the dyke out of Andrade, dont care for Namajunas so I will go with the Chinese fighter. I like Crute alot, he has a good ground game, decent power but Smith is heavy handed and could KO him quickly if not Crute submits him.

Yeah, I hope Masvidal schools Usman. I don't really care for Masvidal, but, well, you know, I'm pretty sick of all this black power stuff. Yeah, I hear you sprint star on Namajunas, she's just too much of a whigger. I am part Lithuanian, and even I find her hard to tolerate. I hope that Polish girl can make a comeback. I like her, she's kind of cute.

Usman admitted he picked Masvidal in the press conference because he saw him as an easier fight, avoiding a rematch with Colby etc... However Masvidal was beating him on the feet before he got clinched to death, if Masvidal beats him it will hurt the stock of Nigerian drug cheat since Masvidal is viewed as a Journeyman by most serious MMA fans.

Stefan Sekulić seems to have been robbed, that's even the consensus among normal MMA fans, another European robbed as is tradition.

Brendan Allen with the nice win.

Uriah going through the gauntlet of washed fighters, Anderson Silva and now the man who beat him (and Uriah), pulling for Weidman but I'm not confident.

Crute injured.

Starting watching recently, the first time the fans are back in the arena.

Weidman just Silva'd himself, he really must retire.

Chris injures his leg doing a leg kick.

I didnt bother watching the decision as it was a clear 30-27, just assumed it was a formality. Weidmans leg injury was gruesome. Crute losing sucks more as he is near championship level.

What a terrible night.

Valentina with a masterclass against Andrade ending in a TKO win for Valentina.

I'm usually not cynical but yeah, the losses were in a very disappointing manner, robberies and injuries.

But LHW is strong anyways with Jan, Jiri, Rakic etc...

Woowwww, Namajunas!

I know she's unpopular here but that was spectacular.
On the streets that would be a hate crime ... WTF that was a ko out of UFC 1 through 5, so far on the main card we have seen surreal endings with Weidman and now this highlight reel ko.

Weili pleading her case and trying to save face, this is probably how she will react to any future losses.

That's a shame, Masvidal was actually looking good and escaped a takedown.

Florida crowd was booing both Weili and Usman, even though this is going to be interpreted as "racism" it was probably in large part due to Masvidal being the home fighter.

Wow! Was not expecting Masvidal to go down like that. That was a shot! He said he "should not have under estimated Usman's power; was ready to grapple for 25 minutes"

Masvidal threw some nasty kicks. Usman actually admitted to being more nervous in this fight.

Was looking forward to a longer, more entertaining fight for Mavidal, nope!

Excellent wins for Thug Rose and Valentina!

Nasty break for Weidman who got Silva'd.

Saw Smith put down Crute. Beat up his leg pretty good.
