    Masvidal was too * to even capitalise on that.

    A mauling really.

    Masvidal had one chance in the fight but his conditioning was that bad he didn’t even attempt to go for it.

    Colby, Masvidal and Rogan in the octagon. Where’s an act of * when ye need it…

    He was just glad to get a few minutes break.

    This is the era of wrestling & if your wrestling game isn't good, you're gonna stand little chance.

    Called out Poirier, not cause of that though, just think he's a * in general.

    Yeah, he's a *. Bought into his schitck for a while, its obvious he's going for the all-American douchebag persona with the Kurt Angle theme tune and all. The difference is, when he talks about peoples family, that's somebody's real wife, real parents, and real children. It's too much for me to go along with at that point.

    I try to focus solely on the fighters & ignore the politics & personas that accompany fighters, but he's so ostensibly obnoxious it's hard to ignore. Great fighter, though.

    Don’t buy into that being a mauling or anything even remotely close to it. Colby out grappled him for more than half the fight whilst doing next to no damage.

    Rogan was bigging up daft wee rabbit punches from the top as causing serious damage but one look at Masvidal’s coupon proves they were low impact volume punches.

    Covington won the fight but it was a boring neutralising style rather than any sort of ‘mauling’. Just wish Masvidal pushed the pace when he hurt him with the hook but he was tired by that point.

    Till and Chimaev have quite a cute bromance.

    They will fight in the future, there is nothing surer. It’s almost WWE like in its set up - Till is too volatile to have that sort of cuddly relationship with anyone never mind a guy that rag dolls folk for a living.

    Yeh in that latest one with them on FaceTime Till says they should fight. Chimaev says August he’s ready. Certainly planting the seeds. It’s still cute though.

    Khazmat is terrifying though even then. * got a knife out, as if he’d ever need one.

    Greg Hardy was released by the UFC and said “What a run, ya boy is far from done just got some fine tuning to do.... He won 4 out his 10 UFC fights. Aye great run pal.

    Think Till was tired of absolutely piecing up fighters in his camps only to get demolished in the actual fights. It's good to see him training with high level fighters.

    Some weekend with the 6 Nations finishing, the London card at a good time of day, F1 being back, Hoops playing, El Clasico… anything I’ve missed?
