      Missed Ali-Vargas (didn't rate Vargas being all that good and had nor real interest in Ortiz-Thompson, tbh). will catch it when it pops up on YouTube, as it sounds like it was a good fight.

        He also needs to seriously improve his ground game. I heard he's a black belt, but I seriously doubt that. Even if he is, there are different levels. He got his from Ireland and Diaz got his black belt from Cesar Gracie. Conor looked like a fish out of water when they got taken down.

        I think he'll recover and be fine. I don't think his drawing power will take a hit.
        He got subbed because.he was.hurt and gassed. I really don't think Connor would have been in that situation if he wasn't hurt or gassed. He panicked it seemed. I thino he will recover just fine. He would win a rematch too if he moved and boxed.

          I most certainly am. But let's stop acting like boxing is bringing the drama and excitement that ufc is. It's not.

            See, as fun as it was and it's more so because of the element of surprise when your watching it live, it's not something I'd watch again. It was sloppy and exactly the reason why I'm not a fan of UFC. Cotto-Canelo was far more enjoyable IMO, I'm sure there are more fights that were that's not coming to me.

              There was plenty of drama in the Breazeale vs Mansour fight. The undefeated prospect steps up and gets dropped by the hard hitting and aggressive veteran. Then he comes back after taking a beating and breaks his jaw.

                I don't follow the sport but this McGregor guy, to get touched by the jab repeatedly like that, it was only common that the straight left was gonna hit home. Not once did he try to break Diaz rhythm but I don't have much else to add, don't really follow the sport although it can be enjoyable to watch.

                    I enjoyed that fight as well. But the reality is tonight ufc delivered that drama on its biggest stage. Boxing time after time flops on its biggest stage. There's a major difference in their product at the highest level.

                      Somebody didn't watch the first half of the Showtime or HBO cards tonight.
