    Anthony Johnson is a killer. Holy shit. Apparently he sent Tex's tooth into orbit.

    Cerrone looked great. Garbrant looked great. Means looked great. A load of big performances tonight.

    Even Artem Lobov won!

    Nate fans upset. I clearly had it 3-2 McGoat. I could even go 4-1. Diaz came on strong at the end of the 2nd though.

    Diaz started his comeback in the second round but he also got knocked down twice. At best for Diaz the round is a draw.

    McGregor limped to the back. Might've busted his foot.

    My thoughts...

    Cowboy looks really impressive at WW. His striking looks extremely improved as well. That fight ending combo he landed might be one of the best combos I've ever seen thrown in MMA. It all started with the jab, too. I like that he called out Eddie Alvarez, too. Fuck it though, I think he should stay up at 170. Cowboy vs. Robbie sounds really damn good right now. Cowboy vs Hendricks, maybe?

    Mike Perry is a fucking douche bag and I can't wait to see him get KO'd. What a fucking tool. Tim Means looked impressive.

    Anthony Johnson is a fucking monster at LHW. His power is by far the scariest power of any fighter in MMA right now. Glover's got one hell of a chin and Rumble sent a tooth flying and put Glover out cold to the point where when he came through, he continued to wrestle the referee. I really think Rumble can beat Cormier if he can land strikes before Cormier can close the distance. He sent him flying with a punch in the first fight...if he can keep the distance, Rumble will win that fight. I firmly believe that Rumble would beat Jones, too. Jones is not surviving a fight with him.

    Conor and Nate put on one hell of a show. Conor picked him apart in that first round and for most of the 2nd. I really don't think Nate won that 2nd round, even though he finished it strong. I also gave Conor rounds 4 and 5. The only round that Nate won decisively, IMO, was round 3. I was impressed by Conor's ability to walk through Nate's punches for the most part and his ability to regain his composure in the 4th round. Now that he's proven to himself he can fight at 170, its time to go back down to defend at 145; or vacate and fight Eddie Alvarez @ 155.

    Conor's disclosed pay according to NSAC is $3 million. Nate's is $2 million.

    That's before PPV points. Conor is probably going to come close to $10 million.

    One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is Conor's ability to stop Nate's takedowns. Conor has always been knocked for his wrestling, but he stuffed 4/5 TD attempts and looked very strong doing it. Even though Nate isn't an elite level wrestler, he is still a bigger man and Conor looked good stuffing them.

    I saw one putting both of them above ten from the PPV share alone.

    Yah I saw one breakdown that had Conor making almost $15 million and Nate making $13 million.

    I like that Nate was vaping cannabidiol at the presser and nobody was really bothered. Must've already done his piss test.
