LOL @ Strickland getting offended by Colby's comments about Leon's father. Getting offended *on behalf of Trumper's even*, claiming that Colby is not a good representation. Meanwhile, the crowd at the press conference began chanting, "USA! USA! USA!" immediately after the comment.

This is your, "Are we the baddies?" moment, Sean.

That was probably the second-best women's MMA fight I've ever seen. Insane.
Pay no mind to the battles you've won
It'll take a lot more than rage and muscle
Open your heart and hands, my son
Or you'll never make it over the river

I'm glad Colby got humiliated. Not by Leon but just the lack of Colby's ability to problem solve in the ring. His weak ASF striking. He still only has a win over one ranked opponent in the division.

Plus, talking about a dudes family. I don't want him in the martial arts community. **** off and grift elsewhere. Leon coasted and even didn't give a **** in the 5th and let Colby take him down. Only to show Colby had nothing.

Also Shav looks scary. Absolutely scary.

3 Title Shots were enough for Colby. Never want to see him get another Title Shot again. Very disgraceful performance by Colby after all the stuff he has said about Leon. Sat on the sidelines for almost two years, for only to give his worst performance in the Octagon ever. Maybe he should hang it up and go to Pro Wrestling, since he is a big Wrestling fan and wanted to be in WWE when he was a kid.

Colby didn't look effective wrestling and he was slow striking. His trash-talk and bravado is annoying so I hope he just sinks down the standings and is forgotten about. I was pretty happy to see him lose in convincing fashion, though not a TKO which Edwards could have for sure pushed for if he did a little more. Good job Edwards.

Pantoja had a strong fight, Royval was tough though, a game challenger IMO. I think Pantoja could win a few in a row, and will be interested if it's Moreno or Albazi for the next title fight in 24 afterthose two fight...

Shavkat finished Wonderboy with a supposed bum ankle and he's the big name now in the WW division, can we see Usman vs Shavkat ? OR Leon and Belal first ? Shavkat and Burns maybe ? I guess Chimaev is now a MW right ? Not an exciting fight but still a perfect finish record.

I wanted Tony to win but he should really consider retiring... tough one to watch IMO. Paddy isn't even that spectacular...Since Garry and Luque was called off... we got Emmett sending Mitchell to lights out with a thunderous right hand, crazy KO, and the Women's fight with Rosa and Aldana might have been the best back and forth fight in the last 2 or 3 months....

It was a big year for MMA, I wonder how Bellator and PFL will do in 24 and if UFC can fix their heavyweight division and give us more clarity at lightweight, like HW is just a mess with Jones out and Miocic apparently only fighting Jones. That **** needs to move on, Jones vacating the belt like Prochazka and Hill did would be righteous but prob not going to happen.
