I wish Richard Steele cared about the clock more than his bonus check from king.

I recently ran across a poll on a different boxing forum polling if Steele should have stopped the fight.

56 agree
46 disagree

That was a tough call for sure. I would have liked to have seen Taylor win the bout. I'm glad I'm not a ref.

I figured Jorge would take the early rounds. We got robbed as the last 2 rounds were going to be spectacular. I still favor Masvidal after a full 5. Dude is smart and a dog.

Masvidal was carrying him. Thought the stoppage was fine, Diaz face was a mess- good to see a doctor use his better judgement against pressure to let it go.

As it is, might have worked out better for them both it ended the way it did. Can milk the rematch and earn again

People posting things like, ‘Nate is only just getting going after the 3rd round like always.’ Dudes had 2, 5 round fights in his career and lost both of them. Bendo kicked his the championship rounds just like he did in the first 3. Jorge was gonna just continue putting on his beating until it got stopped. He’s just not that good compared to the elite.

The BMF thing is uber cringe. What a stupid fornicating belt. The baddest motherfucker is either the one who is the champ in the division or it’s only the guy who is HW champ. Can anyone honestly say they would rather fight Khabib, Yoel Romero, Jones, Ngannou or DC over Diaz or Jorge? I know it’s just a marketing gimmick but it embarrasses the sport IMO.

So I'm guessing you didn't purchase a replica Bad MotherF'er belt from UFC online store?
