Reading the earlier comments, I thought Usman couldn't lose.

Glad I didn't waste the money

This feels like the end of Usman. Don't know why. That fight was coin flip.

Love Leon but I wanna see Colby get a title shot now and possibly win it.

Close fight. I thought Usman was definite winner especially with point deduction.

I don’t “like” Usman, but that scoring was even lamer than the fight

Usman fought like Edwards was in his head. He looked rattled especially in that last round IMO

Leon's takedown defence seemed to just neutralise Usman, never looked like he was winning the striking battle

Yeah I don’t see how either guy could feel confident they won. Usman never got control on the ground and didn’t do damage on his feet.

Like wise Edward’s wrestling was great but defensive and he never got much going on the feet either.

I feel like usman lost that by being too cautious in the first two rounds

Usman turned into Tyron Woodley.

I had Usman winning 2/3/4, and Edwards had point deduction, and blatantly cheated twice, and kicked Usman in nuts like 3 times. Dana’s worst nightmare. Boring champ, boring contenders in Colby and Belal. Maybe they say frick it and get Khamzat in there to takeover.

Usman took a ton of kicks to that right side of his. I bet it hurts like a mofo.

Biggest winner tonight is Covington

I’d like for him to fight someone other than 11th ranked masvidal before getting a title shot, honestly.

I don’t think y’all are talking about edwards kicks enough. He didn’t land many head shots but He ate up usmans body and legs

Colby has a resume a mile long that gets him a title shot. He also fought peak Usman better than anyone else beside Leon's one shot.

He's also a huge money draw, which means Leon will want to make that fight happen. He already said he'd be glad to go to Miami and fight him.

Thats the next title fight.

Dana can also press Leon to fight quicker than he wants to and then Leon will be vulnerable, thus making for a larger chance at a title change and a rematch.

It's all a big giant game and Dana knows how to arrange the pieces in hi$ favor.

hahaha just saw colby’s reaction in the stands. How can you not cheer for him? He’s a roided out Mark Wahlberg. It’s all an act and it’s great

I mean I get that’s the money fight at this division, and I know the point is to make money. Personally I just don’t want to see it yet. I’d rather him fight someone like Burns first.

Leon’s wrestling has got much much better

So if I stays on the feet he can definitely beat Colby
