Usman being the GOAT at 170 was always bad, it’s even funnier now haha.

This is the perfect opportunity for Colby but I don't think Dana can deny the p4p a re. They're both gonna be begging for it. Now we just need wolfman to not lose some fluke to Nate and we'll have some interesting **** going down

My biggest thing with Usman is he’s done his thing through arguably the weakest time for the 170 division. 170 has been such an afterthought for quite sometime now.

When you see these guys get dusted off at 4,5,6 defenses after being proclaimed GOAT, it makes you really appreciate the length of some of the streaks the actual mount rushmore put together.

Not so hot take, Khabib got out at the right time. :lol:

Ya my main point with my post is we always get the “Is he the GOAT of his division” talk once someone defends the title like 2-3 times. With no regard at all for the quality of guys they faced and so on. 170 used to be one of the premier divisions. Now no one cares about it at all. It’s such a weak division at the moment.

Kabib did get out at the right time. I think he probably had another 3-5 defences in him before people started to catch him but his weight was gonna be an issues at some point.

Hot take. Kamaru should either retire or go up to 185

Nate Diaz feels like he beat Leon, so I’m pretty sure he thinks he’s 155, 170, and BMF champ right now.

Hell yeah Leon. Was all over Leon by decision. Did not see this coming. Talk about a clutch knockout.


Great to see his emotions post fight, he’s been through a lot.

I’m glad he got the W.
I hated how Jorge suckered him back stage, and it basically launched his stardom in the ufc, while Leon was left in limbo.

I really wanna see Colby fight him, but I assume it’s a rematch with Usman.

Colby may be more focused on his lawsuit than fighting as well. There’s a good chance he’s going to land a few million from that attack. He’s going to take Jorges whole bag, saying he can’t fight now, he was top 2 and makes around 400k + per fight. If you estimate he has 5-6 fights left at 400k + bonuses etc. That’s at least 2-2.4 million.
