I think Masvidal has turned a corner though. He's been a top level fighter for a while now. But the time off last year really helped him get to that next level mentally. It seems to be all coming together for him now. He'd decapitate Conor. Him and Colby or Usman will be interesting.

Well seems Usman already has Covington well and truly in his sights. If askren was able to get under Masvidal's skin as much as he did, he just might kill Covington :lol:

Not really a fan of The Rock.... dont watch his movies..... did enjoy the fun vibe he brought to the event though.

Also couldnt help but find it hilarious, when he proudly announced that he was making a film on the life of Mark Kerr.... and the silence was deafening lol.... seemed not a bloody soul in that arena had a clue who Mark Kerr is :lol:

Id be interested in giving it a watch.... not sure how it will come out, certainly wouldnt be one of his typical movies..... and i got to be honest, i dont exactly look at The Rock and think of Mark Kerr :lol:

That was embarrassing. He was really hyped to break the news to the MMA community and no one knew who the hell Kerr was. :lol:

I don't like his chances in any of those fights, but I didn't give him much last night either.

Bemused why anybody though Diaz would win. Far too one dimensional for this version of masvidal.

I wouldn't call Diaz one-dimensional, but Masvidal is just the better striker, and Diaz isn't a good enough wrestler to get Masvidal on his back.

I think Till let himself down in the post-fight interview but that's harsh. How many fighters do you know who come off two crushing defeats, jump up a weight class and choose to go straight back in with a guy who's recently been in the FOTY with the current Middleweight World Champion... and beat him on his home turf? Credit where credit is due.

I really enjoyed Till's post fight presser interview. I respected his transparency. There was much more substance than the others.

Harsh? How so? Its an opinion and its my opinion,people dont like tony bellew because of the way he speaks others dont like carl froch because of the way he thinks he is still relevant. I gave till credit for a good fight and he proved me wrong but after fight interview let him down. He got my credit but still i dont like the way he conducts himself and its nothing to do with him coming of two defeats cause he was the same after cowboy saying sh*t like "all you c*nts" like who the fck speaks like that who is a professional fighter and millions of kids look upto. Till lets himself down.

Oh no doubt, he's really hard to take down and I thought it was pretty unlikely that Nate would be able to do it.

I really enjoyed his interview, thought it was hilarious 😂

Dont get me wrong, 99% of Scouse fighters make me cringe when they open their mouths, but Till makes me laugh.

What kind of area is that? Working class or middle class or?

The reason I ask is that a long time ago (before he got pretty big and famous) I remember he put a post up from his uncles place and it looked like a mansion! I'm just curious as to whether Till comes from money or not.

Working class,its rough as toast lol. I dont know Till at all,i know the lad who trains with him and he had 1 fight in the ufc back in about 2011 in Germany but i dont know Till. I seen him a few months ago in a gas station in Liverpool and i said hello and he wearily said hello back. If anyone comes from the north side of liverpool i doubt they have come from money (no disrespect to anyone from north Liverpool).
