If Covington gets the next title shot, I hope Edwards sends him to the hospital.

Usman vs. Jay Ellis next. He needs a confidence builder fight.

In my opinion 47-47. But Leon won the fight: the leg kicks, and body kicks plan worked very well especially in the first 8 minutes of the fight and in the last 2 rounds Edwards defended the takedowns, he knew how to use the clinch (especially in the fifth round) and land the better shots.
First Round 10-9 Edwards
Second Round: Really close especially because of Edwards' dominant early round, but Usman closed stronger
Third Round: 10-8 Usman with the point deduction
4th Round: 10-9 Edwards
5th Round: 10-9 Edwards.

I agree with the decision but those scorecards are so confusing. It’s like 1 round they’re giving it to someone for controll over damage and other rounds they’re giving a round that was exactly the same to the guy who landed more shots. I can see judges scoring a fight differently but don’t get why one judge considers one thing more important in 1 round and then the same thing less important in the next round

Yeah don't really see why they want to give it to Colby.

Middleweight needs new contenders. There’s no need to put ddp against khamzat and kill one new name off. Time for the old names to get moved down the list. Vettori vs ddp

Maybe it's because Dana is friends with Trump that they want to give it to Colby?

gliese58i   If I'm not mistaken, Dana already said Colby needs to win at least one fight to get a title shot. They just needed a backup for this fight. I honestly hope Belal gets the shot, so that Edwards can win more decisively this time around. Since he was basically piecing Belal up before that eyepoke happened
