Nice win from Craig that.
On the rest, found the Maia fight incredibly dull sadly.
Edwards was cruising, but that flurry from Diaz, he's just box office. I suspect a fight with Masvidal, neither have won a fight for years but it would draw excellent money.
Usman v Edwards would be fine now, I don't care about Colby's crap gimmick, I do however think its unfair he sat on his arse for so long and only fought ****ing Woodley. Edwards has been inactive, but not really his fault tbf.
Moreno should be a star for Dana also for obvious reasons.
Vettori is hard as nails, but a pretty dull fighter to watch and a douche. That press conference was absolute cringe personified.

the interim belt is almost certainly because Dana want's Lewis headlining a PPV in Houston but cannot have a non-title fight as the headliner.
It's meaningless really, might as well call all these interim belt fights the 'number one contender' bout.
yea should be a good fight.

That was cringe chatter from Conor in the press conference. He was never the most sophisticated but he did have some funny stuff previously, just felt very forced and can't imagine Dustin was to bothered.
Hopefully its a good fight, a lot of Conor cards are filler, but the undercard is a killer.
Shame O Malley is fighting a bum but it is what it is.

You never want to see a fight end like that.
Having said that, McGregor being the one stretchered out after all his pre fight chat is kinda beautiful. Was such a white-belt grappling effort from him too. That guillotine as takedown defence was so bad, expect him to know better.
DP's post fight speech was fantastic, McGregor's was just sad.
This is probably the last time Conor ever fights in the UFC, if at all. Will take at least a year to heal from that, and then another 3-6 months of training.
Fun card overall. Tuivasa's KO (and subsequent shoeys) was great, Kris Moutinho channeled his inner zombie (and should have been allowed to see off the final 30 seconds), and Ryan Hall and Michel Pereira are must watch MMA no matter what the result is.

Yeah it was a cool card, limbo for Usman with Thompson losing but ah well. Agreed sucks for Moutinho he was losing obviously but that was stoppage was not needed.
Sucks for Hall but the guy fighting him is a killer. Price v Pereira was great fun. Hardy getting murdered was beautiful. He is useless and would be shocked if he is any sort of draw, bin him please Dana.
Conor is tedious these days and after all the cringe chatter pre, no sympathy for him at all.
What he does next? Takes time off and maybe comes back and fights Diaz.
Dustin won't be bothered with a fourth fight , he has made his money and will try and win the title.

Conor has always been a prick but he's taken it to a new level, hasn't he. Threatening Dustin's toddler. Man has really lost it. Considering how many hardcore POS fans this guy might have that might want to impress their idol, this is a seriously despicable thing to do.

Conor is absolutely vile sadly. Shame as he was fun for a while and while the humor wasn't the most classy, their was some amusing lines now and then.
Islam going to be a serious problem in this division, that was murder tonight, although obviously can see the top guys ducking him for a while.
Tate.

Wasn't the worst fight card last weekend, TJ v Cory very good and Yanez Costa fight a lot of fun.
Oh Yes.
I think Usman untouchable right now, but surely Colby best of the rest? First fight was a banger so yeah hyped.
