Epo is pretty serious business. I'm surprised captain Auschwitz didn't stroke out. I'm impressed by that. He's a specimen.

They do need a clean division and a dirty division. Not for chuckles, because these athletes WILL kill themselves doing it. But they need it so they can have an actual clean division.

There's got to be a way they could do it without legal liability for suicidal meatheads.

That is a Fight of the Year candidate.

10/10 great moments by both fighters.

Goddard made a hard decision not stopping that fight. I'm sure he was conflicted. Belt on the line, dude is a warrior, and only a few seconds left; can't disagree with that decision but wouldn't have blamed him for a stoppage either.

Dustin looking insane.

Aldo was a great boxer and strong for 145, but Max is playing with fire absorbing all these blows.

Dustin might have won that round with the action late. Could be up 20-18.

Still, Max is going to Max. Dude isn't flinching and he's yet to speed up.

This is a normal Holloway fight so far, he always is slow to start, its just that Dustin is able to hit much harder than anyone at 145 could hit Max. But Max is doing his usual endless cardio, endless punches routine, and starting to pull it back.

Yup. Dustin made the mistake of fighting with his back against the fence. That is a death spot for Max's opponents and he can't get caught there again.

I'm predicting a split decision at this point. Not out of the question that some judge has this 40-36 for Dustin and we'll get an awesome Dana White rant on Twitter. I think it's either 39-37 for Dustin or 38-38. Part of me wants to give Dustin a 10-8 on round 1, but not enough.

Dustin's cardio held up far better than I thought it would. That, and a distinct power advantage should do it for him to win it.

49-46 on all scorecards surprises me. That's about as generous as they could've been to Dustin.

155 now has Khabib who's never lost, Tony Ferguson has won 11 in a row in the UFC, and Dustin has what 7 in a row now, and none of these guys have fought each other.

I'm happy for the Diamond. Gang Gang! Dont think he has any chance against Khabib though.

Adesanya would blast Whittaker. Whittaker got knocked out by wonder boy, there is no way he can deal with an even higher level striker of similar accurate technique.
