Brutal knockout that. Hell of a card though, watched it top to bottom live last night and loved it. Shame Till got sparked but was a great fight, Masivdal looked superb once he got grips with the timing. He knocked Edwards out backstage as well - 2-0 for Masvidal last night :LOL:

Here's the backstage brawl between Masvidal and Edwards. Jorge's not like some of the guys out there, he won't just stand there and let someone talk trash to him, he's a real fighters fighter. You mess with Jorge he's going to make you pay. Leon Edwards picked the wrong guy to try and talk trash to.

What a punch! I didn't back him - lost money on him a few too many times. Pleased he won though. I can't believe that's the first time Wonderboy has been knocked out, the way he carries his hands.

Impressive from Pettis, love watching him fight. Sucks for Wonderboy though, love that guy, such a genuinely good bloke, sucks to see him KO'd so brutally. Pettis-RDA next at 170 sounds tasty though, would happily see that one again.

WW turning into one of the best divisions in the UFC. Usman, Woodley, Covington, Askren, Masvidal, Pettis, Till, Wonderboy, RDA, Edwards, Lawler, Ponzinibbio. Absolutely stacked.

Askren suggested a fight on Twitter - Pettis vs Conor. What a fight that would be. Apparently we're getting Conor vs Diaz III in July though.

Used to be a massive Conor fan but it's all gone a bit too WWF for me now. Diaz 3 doesn't excite me, I'd rather he fought Pettis or Cowboy and another before the end of the year but ultimately I still see him losing to Khabib if they fought again.

Feel for Wonderboy, had a decent 1st round but Pettis fought him well and had a great knockout.

Yeah. I wish we could get back to 2014/15 Conor McGregor where he was actually fighting regularly. That's when he was at his most entertaining. He would fight anyone, was running through the 145lb division and absolutely bossing it. Even though I'm still a fan, I have gone off him quite a bit, and his behaviour in the last 18 months outside the cage definitely hasn't helped that. I don't see him beating Khabib either, but he could, could easily catch him with a big left as he came in, but the chances are pretty slim. I definitely don't want to see it played back anytime soon though.

2nd time he's "retired" from MMA. It'll just be a negotiating tactic. He'll be back.

And like we said yesterday, his popularity despite what he thinks is now being dramatically reduced time and time again after every incident. I also think in the lightweight division he isn't even a top class opponent now and in the 145 division he's dropped too. He's not active enough to be classed as a challenger in either division.

Justin Gaethje what a savage. Love him, and what a fight. He's the sort of guy I'd pay to watch fight anyone. What a performance. Great comeback after back to back defeats.
