I thought Faber looked pretty good compared to his effort against Rivera. He was obviously up for this fight. The difference between him and Edgar wasn't huge. Edgar is just such a worker in the cage. Mousasi was in beast mode. Munoz's retirement speech was classy and not self-serving like so many we see.
