I don't know why so many people took Ortega to defeat Holloway. Holloway is the total package.

Holloway is so precise standing. Also avoids and escapes takedowns effortlessly. He can be hurt though.

Fantastic card. Ortega will have his day. He's tough as hell. Rogans rhetoric for greatest feather ever is comical.

Yep. I migrating back to mma. The cards are just too good.

Round 1 Santos v Manuwa was just tremendous.

Shevchenko was the best technically. She is like a next generation robofighter.

Nelson is just beastly.

Love the matchmaking in mma

It still has its shocking moments, more so in the past 2-3year than ever, but generally, in terms of competitive match ups boxing could learn A lot from mma

Agreed. First and foremost boxing could learn to deliver value. UFC has them kicked to hell on that.

I prefer boxing, but there are only so many sh!t cards and horrible mismatchs one can suffer.

Because of his composure and the way he handles Swanson and Edgar. I was very wrong. I think Holloway may be on his way to being p4p #1.

i said that for years. But if I said it now, I'd be lying. MMA, particularly the UFC, is more appealing in just about every aspect over boxing. It's a complete combat sport. The best fight the best consistently, multiple times a year. Consistent quality cards, sometimes 2 to 3 a month, with the best match ups possible. Promotion and production walk all over boxing.

I really hope Iaquinta chins Lee tonight and gets the double over him. That said, Khabib- Lee is an interesting matchup.

Barboza-Hooker is going to be hard to beat. The punishment Hooker took was unreal.

Hooker might be the toughest fornicator I've seen. Barboza absolutely lit him up. Ortega is up there aswell in the toughest bastard stakes.

I actually scored it 48-47 Lee but Lee needs to get his gas tank in order if he's ever going to be a title contender in this division. If the weight cut is the problem maybe he should move to 170. Some guys (Rumble Johnson, Gastelum, Whittaker) have benefited from a higher weight class.
