I'm disappointed in the stop, too. I really wanted to see a Diaz get trashed like the human debris that he is.

Short of dying, Diaz just took as bad of ass kicking as humanly possible. He won't be fully healed from this fight for a month or two.

I don't think that fight would have continued anywhere. The doctor has a board to answer to and that cut was bad.

I’m not going to go so far as to say that it was a bullshit stoppage, because that was definitely a significant cut, but holy hell was it a disappointing stoppage.

Diaz was definitely at a disadvantage going into the fourth with the swelling but it felt like he was gaining momentum. He excels in the late rounds.

Disappointing for sure.

Not unexpected though. Masvidal hits hard and Nate cuts. Everyone knew this was a possible outcome.

That heel book, though! Damn.

I was wrong about walker. disappointing

I wonder if diaz even trains anymore? with the money he mad on the McGregor fight I'm wondering how much he cares about fighting anymore

they bmf belt with the rock handing it out was a poor promotional stunt imo glorifying two thugs, diaz and masvidal. I think that's why they had that belt for those two, cause they act like badass thugs.

I was pulling for Diaz, but that Doc did him a favor.

He could’ve and would’ve kept fighting, but Jorge was kicking his ass.

Absorbed a lot of punishment, some of those body kicks looked brutal.

Walker bought into his own hype. Playing the fucking fool when faced with a straight killer is not a smart move.

Started seeing the same thing with Masvidal. Diaz was not out and is dangerous to the end. Playing fucking games is not smart.

Yeah, those were pretty good. Not MMA, but Tyson Fury had 47 stitches after his fight in Sep.

Yep, and that might just be the reason why he loses to Wilder in the rematch.

That was a massive cut, and it'll never fully heal in terms of fighting.

It will definitely be a target. He had the stitches pulled after just 9 days.

Nice come from behind submission by Brown. Thought for sure he was outmatched vs Alves.

Colby v. Usman

Go!

I think Usman beats the shit out of him in the first two rounds. Now, I have about a 50% success rate of predicting fights, but I think the way he beat Woodley really says something about how dangerous he is. He's also pissed off which could lead to mistakes. Still, I think he smashes Colby.

What say the hive?

Ya that was a monster punch. I thought his skull shifted outside of face for a second there. That lip was hanging in pieces.

All he did was give a shout out to Trump who was in attendance and acknowledge the White House is facing adversity. If anything he plugged him.

If he wins it will be Hyperannoying Level 11.

100% But if he loses it will be a referendum on his politics/Trump. And you know the left will do that.

I wonder what Usman's politics are?

I'm aware of all of that. Still, the guy is over the top. If he doesn't back up that mouth people will have a field day with it, and I'm not so sure he can do it.

I think Usman is stronger, has awesome takedown defense, and retains knockout power well into the fight.

One thing is for sure, I'll be watching. What a card!

I haven't heard anything solid one way or another, but my hunch is leftist from some of the stuff I've heard him say. I forget the specifics, but that was the impression I got.

Yep

Based on his social media and hilarious comments he's a guy loving life and a conservative leaning black guy - things that left hates...you need to blindly hate to believe their ideology.
