Awesome. Aldo is the most underappreciated guy in MMA history. He deserves this. Hopefully they also had to compensate him.

Worried about that weight cut, though. Oof. Short of Brazilian pharma and on short notice, this is going to be a nightmare for him.

Moraes has committed more severe fouls than he has won rounds in the UFC so far. Seriously Dodson is gagging from groin kicks and then getting eye poked. Take a ******* point already.

"That's two fouls...if he does it again I'm taking a point." STFU do your job.

Then the same ref breaks up a fight within 10 seconds of a single leg attempt. Even had Felder/Anik complaining about that one. Idiot.

Not really liking Paul Felder as the color commentator. I miss Brian Stann.

Paul Felder sucks. That fight wasn't "over". Lauzon is a warrior and he deserved every chance to try and recover there.

Wow really? I was yelling stop it for like 12 seconds before the actual stoppage.

I don't know, I saw a guy taking some shots but it wasn't as if he wasn't trying to move and defend himself. Joe's a warroior and I thought his constant movement didn't indicate that he was out.

By the time it was stopped it was fine, I just didn't think it needed to be stopped when Joe first got knocked down as Felder was saying. That's more where my ire was.

Meh, that's a cheap loss. Freak injury after a back and forth war. I'd have loved to see the outcomes of those triangles without all that blood making it easier to slip out. That last one was on, with time left in the round.

Prouder of Pettis' performance in that fight than I have been since the RDA loss outside the Oliveira finish. Miller is not even a gatekeeper at this point and not very potent to turn a fight on a dime. Still, some of his attacks in that fight looked tepid, and he waded into shots. More an improvement in intent. He looked legit dangerous at times in this one and didn't just always eat blows in close. Fired back some damaging ones of his own.

Not the same fighter after the RDA beatdown, confidence loss, and injuries. But still looks relevant and entertaining.

OK, it's settled. Pettis is no longer the GOAT.

Keep talking out your ass about USADA. Apparently no fighter can have declined around that time, in a damage sport, where he'd sustained multiple serious leg + arm injuries, and did take that merciless beatdown, for a fight when there was no out of competition testing. Haven't explained that. That didn't look like his previous self either.

And are ignoring how this fight was even lost. Lost by fluke injury in a back and forth affair against a contender, like that's some great shame.
