This card overall is pretty damn good. I hope Woodley can reach into the fountain of youth just one time and put on a good fight. He's lost 10 rounds in a row. Colby should be able to easily handle him if Usman and Burns did, but stranger things have happened.
Yeah, Colby's schtick has gotten so stale and annoying. He's become genuinely unlikeable. At first, it was funny but like Trump himself...after 4 years of this shit; its annoying. Hope Woodley can land that one shot to send him to the WWE/Bellator.
T-Wood is being set up as a gatekeeper here for sure. Tito, OTOH... Colby was nuanced in using the Bush-ism of "terrorist sympathizer" but truck nuts was like "yeah he's a terrorist!" That's not even what he said Tito, you oaf. Adding on the #AllLivesMatter hashtag + pray + America is just icing on the dumb cake.
Hearing the conversations has been the most entertaining parts of the fights with no fans. Holland just told Stewart "God Damn you're strong" lol.
Had that been a 5 round fight Cerrone likely would have won. As it stood Donald was too patient against a guy who spent himself in the first round. Luckily, the first round eye poke saved Cerrone from a fight straight loss.
Woodley looked afraid to engage for a majority of the fight. Probably lost every round before having some freak rib or back injury.
I honestly feel like Woodley probably got a bad body cramp or spasm. Covington wore his body out with those kicks in the standup and knees in the clinch.

Mirsad Bektic has lost all momentum, gotta feel for the guy. Mak Dern's submissions are effortless. Could be the next Rousey. Equally insufferable. Johnny Walker hit Ryan Spann with a death elbow. Good lord. Khamzat is scary. Quick, powerful striker. Another murderous KO. Cerrone looking not so great to me. Cleary doesn't have the fire he once did. I thought Price deserved the win but the foul made a draw a reasonable result. Colby Covington is a pro wrestling heel personified, intentionally and unintentionally.
Should note that this dude should not be fighting Demian Maia, who is too tough for his own good and is probably going to get concussed.
