Some of your points I agree with, especially about Nunes which right now she still doesn't have a clear challenger for her reign. But if she can't knock you out in the first round, she gasses and her opponent may have a shot if they have TDD.

Volk had a great strategy of taking out Max's legs, he couldn't mix it up or put power in his shots. If and they probably will fight again in a immediate rematch. Max better figure out how to check those kicks because even after the first round his legs were shot and that was pretty much the fight.

As far as the main event, I went back today and Re-watched it. Being honest, there were times when Coby and Usman were mixing and trading blows that I thought Coby was about to KO him. Usman landed the more powerful shots but coby had a higher volume and seemed to rock usman a few times but credit to his chin. And I said last night that when Coby was saying his jaw was broken, he looked defeated. in retrospect, if his trainer had said he couldn't continue and it went to the cards after the 3rd, I wonder who would've won.

Again on the rewatch, both guys had moments with the accumulative effect of usmans power taking over the latter part of the fifth. If Usman were to fighter a better striker like a Masivadal, that would give him bigger problems but I also Usman would utilize his wresting. But that was a terrific fight!

I think if masivdal wins his next fight he should fight usman, and Coby and woodley should fight next, that 170 division is stacked...
:gucci: if your jaw is broken and you can't continue the fight is over and Usman wins

When did colby & jorge fall out:ohhh:

Colby's basically fallen out with everyone at ATT over this idiotic MAGA gimmick. Masvidal hates him (ironic since he's also a Trump supporter), Poirier doesn't like him, Joanna doesn't like him, etc.

Watching him get his jaw broken and finished was beautiful stuff.

I think max wins the rematch. While watching and looking at the strike totals after the fact. Those kicks are what win the fight. Other than those max out struck him. Max is kind of a slow starter I think because he has been a 5 round fighter for the last couple years. But he lost his belt and sometimes that’s the best thing for a fighter to learn new shyt. would love to see max throw some kicks more. Would make his boxing better.

Yea, dude def won w/ strategy more so than pure skill. Max couldn't really get his volume going due to those leg kicks.

A rematch would def be a fun match, hopefully we get it back 2 back.

It takes skill and technique to set up those leg kicks and avoid heat coming back in return. He wasn't out there throwing naked leg kicks. Volk vs Holloway was basically a kickboxing fight, Volk brought more tools to the table.

Of course dude is a skilled fighter. My comment was inferring that dude had no, or even limited skill.
