    Recorded it and watched it earlier..

    Wonderboy was outstanding. Got everything in his locker but maybe out and out power. Was class and the Brazilian took some punishment but wobbled Thompson and couple of time's to be fair..

    The Till fight bored me. Other guy didn't seem that good and Till was really cagey..

    Masvidal though. Beast. Absolutely annihilated Diaz..

    Diaz you've got to respect that kinda toughness but he was virtually a punch bag bar looking semi dangerous on the floor once..

    Defo don't think there should be a rematch despite it being a * finish. Masvidal will and likely stop him next. Diaz doesn't look like he carries enough power. Slow when he's striking or kicking with no real conviction and ridiculously easy to hit..

    Can tell Masvidal genuinely respects him though..

    The McGregor that put on a similar performance against Diaz versus this Masvidal would be an absolutely * epic fight.

    Jorge would have to drop back down to 155 though, McGregor loses too much at 170.

    Totally understand why the Doctor stopped the Masvidal v Diaz fight. Folks sometimes forget that Doctors are legally obliged to uphold ethical standards... and that was a * howler of a slice.

    Yep, Nate is indeed a bad * who'd have fought on, and yep, he does come onto his game later in many fights, but the Doc made the right call (as far as it relates to his profession).

    Means we (hopefully!) get to see them do it again!

    Nate Diaz has never won a fight that’s went into the Championship rounds...

    He’s fantastic at marketing himself but the reality is his record is * poor and overinflated because of a win over McGregor at 170.

    Shock of the century the mad * giving McGregor mad abuse the past year claiming he's the faither of her child was talking bollocks all along. DNA test cleared it up.

    Zabit is lucky that wasn’t 5 rounds.

    Gas tank is awful.

    Some KO by Whiteford and a good quick win for Bungard. Hopefully get a Glasgow Bellator card.

    I watched the main card on channel 5 last night. That MVP needs to fight someone decent. Was a nice KO though

    He fought someone decent and got beat. Should get the rematch though.

    Yeah looks like he wants the rematch.

    Hopefully he gets it and gets smashed again.
