And his knees weren't in great shape to begin with. I can't see anything other than a mauling

It was a mad decision taking that fight on 1 week’s notice, especially after the losses to Edwards. Now going in with one knee gone, hard to see anything other than another loss for Usman.

I reckon no one else wanted that fight + no tax in Abu Dhabi and he gets a big pay day going out the door. No one wants to fight Chimaev or Rakhmonov, especially with the majority of the division the wrong side of 30

You can be sure his payday was huge. Possibly his biggest yet in the UFC.

Usman did very well on 12 days notice. Would like to see a rematch.

I had it a 28-28 draw. Thought the first round was 10-8 with Usman edging the second and third. Chimaev looked blown going into the second

He would have won for sure if he avoided that final takedown. He'll regret not asking for 5 rounds but could have a few promising fights at middleweight.

Jones’ title fight against Stipe cancelled because of an injury to Jones. 

Aspinall against Pavlovich for the interim instead.

f**k this the UFC is cursed. Considering they're doing Aspinall against Pavo for an interim and Jones will be out for over 8 months we might never get Jones Vs Stipe now. I can't see them letting these guy's wait almost a year to rematch when they could have the interim champ fight someone for a vacant title.

Anyone watching the UFC tonight?


Dern out on her feet basically gets knocked out. Her opponent let's her stand up all wobbly before setting her up for another knock out which she does. Dern's father in her corner aswell. How does a man not throw in the towel while his daughter gets CTE in front of him Ouch

You do realise you are watching UFC? The purpose of the sport is to knock people out. Each to their own but I find the whole concept of the sport sickening.

Did you watch the fight? She was clearly out of her depth with a bad game plan to stand and bang. There comes a point where a fighter is out on their feet or in this case out on their ass after being cracked multiple times. You need to save her from further damage which they didn't.

She's lucky the ref called it because the next time she got flattened her opponent was going to let her stumble back up to bang it out some more.

In hindsight it maybe have been bad idea for high level BJJ practitioner to try to stand and strike with an opponent known for her power.

Do you reckon it's true or are they holding him back for a more high profile fight?

His fan base isn’t big enough to be getting the McGregor treatment from the ufc.

He should have left magneys kids out of the trash talk. Nobody bought that sh*te and many who were on the fence are now rooting against him.

Very unimpressed with Garry Vs Neal. Cringe amount of respect during the fight. One trying to snipe from the outside the other running rings.

Good card so far you don't want to put on a snooze fest when give such a prominent slot. 

Split decision he moves onto a bigger fight but now hated more then ever.
