yeah, nice choke

Likely sotn

Lotta shitty fights so far

good fight. Thought Healy would try more offensive wrestling and clinches. Have it 30-27 Khabib.

Yeah definitely surprised we didn't see more offensive wrestling from Healy. Credit to Khabib, I thought it was going to swing in Pat's favor based on the pace after the first round

Khabib vs RDA for title shot.

Costas getting exposed by one of the most boring fighters in MMA

I understand the logic behind it since Weidman is there, but leaving Serra-Longo was the worst thing he could do for his fight career

Nice win for Schaub.

That was pretty sweet.

Gus took round 1 for sure.

Close 1st round

2nd was closer, I'll call it 1-1

i may have my hater glasses on, but i have it 30-27 Gus...and Jon is fighting dirty.
