I can’t imagine how painful it is to fight with a broken jaw. I still can’t believe Ali went 11 rounds with Norton after breaking his.

That’s a weak stoppage but I think it is ok because Usman could have lost a jd but deserve to win the fight.

Seemed like a quick stoppage in a close fight with little time left, but I guess it gives CC and his MAGAboys something to complain about.

weak? Dunno man. He was basically not resisting any more, wasn't trying to get out of the position, was leaking with every hit to the back of his head. Can't let the back of his head get railed like that, that's how you end up a vegetable.

Not to get lost in all the cartoon antics of UFC, These guys are good fighters. Need to see again.

Kamaru is such a good guy and Colby such a clowning troll that it is the best thing the UFC can market.

Stoppage doesn’t matter now. Usman would’ve won that last round and the decision.

Scores are in. That would have been a split JD for Usman.
Scores were 3-1 each way ( don’t see how Usman has 3/4) and a 2-2

Couldn’t get a working stream to save my life, but I just saw the ending. About as satisfying an ending as I could have hoped for. Hopefully I can find a place to rewatch it later. Colby getting his jaw broken is some sweet, sweet karma.

How much time was left, a minute? I wonder if CC thinks the ref should have just let him get punched into the floor for another minute and see if they gave him the round anyway. I know Mikeford does.

Like 50 seconds I think. Colby definitely won the first 3 minutes of the round, but Usman won the rest much more definitively. Colby didn't do anything close enough to overcome to knockdowns and he sure as shit wasn't going to.

The gripe with the stoppage is that Colby fought for 2.5 rounds with a broken jaw and didn’t quit and wasn’t asking out and was not taking severe damage at the time of the stoppage. Many fights have continued with worse that were not title fights

It ended up not mattering but it easily could have.

It was a great fight either way.

He got knocked down twice inside of 30 seconds and wasn’t really defending himself, just covering up. I was fine with the stoppage and had it 2-2 going into the last.

Great point. There’s a difference between headlines and record books saying stoppage than lost split decision.

I’d like to reiterate, now that I have your attention, that the scoring system in MMA is really bad.

if Colby survives that round and you ask me, “hey, who did you score that for”

Id say: Colby

you might reply: you thought Colby won that fight

I would say: definitely not. Usman won that fight, Colby won that sport.

I think it was a weak stoppage but I also had it 2-2 going into the 5th and there's no fucking way Colby wins round 5 without KOing Usman at that point if he scrambled and got to his feet again so I'm kinda like whatever, he would've lost on the cards anyway

Just got done watching the PFL finals. I don't know why. I like the concept and the format, but I really don't care about any of these fighters. I keep thinking of how the middle tier UFC guys would do, and how much more interesting it could be.

Bellator is doing more tournament style stuff. I wish the UFC would. Pick a relatively stagnant weight class with no dominant champ (or no champ at all) and run a tournament over the course of a year or 18 months or whatever with a million dollar prize. More reason to watch some of these Fight Nights with underwhelming cards. Men's Flyweight could be fun that way. Give guys like Tim Elliot, Brandon Moreno and lots of others a better chance at a big payday.

MacRapist vs MAGA Chud tonight. Who y'all got?

Logic says Cerrone gets smoked but I think Conor has spent the better part of the last 18 months doing cocaine and fighting elderly men in bars so who knows how into this he actually is

Conor has found Tony Robbins, although who knows how long that's been going on. In interviews, he's saying all the right things Many believe he's a changed man. To me, he almost sounds like someone who is trying to convince himself he's a changed man.

Did they talk about cocaine and sexual abuse?
