good card. gaethje still has it, should rematch dustin for next title shot. leon was impressive, usman looked a bit slower but still had some good moments. i don’t think colby should be next but i will definitely be watching.
Gaethje looked like he just got out of bed when the fight was over, Fiziev looked like his face went through a car windshield during a crash. Justin was also like +250 underdog going into that fight. Crazy performance by both guys.
I think Colby getting the shot has to be connected to the Masvidal legal issue. I'd have to imagine Colby's lawyer is trying to pin some sort of responsibility or negligence on the UFC for what happened, whether it's legit or not, and this could be the UFC's way of trying to make it go away. I agree that he shouldn't be getting the next shot either. Belal is on a 9 fight unbeaten streak.
I'm sick of seeing the same 2 or 3 dudes fight for the title over the past few years.
Edit: Usman has 5 titles defenses against 3 different people. Jorge twice, Colby twice, and Burns once. I don't get why people were so quick to call him the GOAT WW.
