I use to despise Connor, but the 2 fights against Diaz, especially his reaction to the first one was won my respect. Now I think he's hilarious. Never would have thought that a year ago.
Luke Warm Take - It's dumb that non championship main event bouts are arbitrarily 5 rounds just because they're main events.
Little surprised Lineker won...but good, glad because in a close fight I'm glad guy going forward got nod over guy who was running
Super close fight. Wouldn't have a problem with either guy winning. Not sure how someone could have thought it was that one sided.
Lineker threw twice as many strikes, but landed less strikes than Dodson. Dodson landed the more significant and clean shots throughout the entire fight, and had Lineker hurt on two occasions, and nearly put him on his ass in the 5th. And you look at their faces, Lineker is swollen all over, and Dodson doesn't have a scratch on him. You can move forward all day, but if you aren't doing anything with the strikes you are throwing, then it's a meaningless action.

Love this fight, I'll take Mickey. I think he takes it to the ground and controls Sage. Mickey has great jits, Sage has the advantage on the feet. I'll take Mickey via sub in round 2.
Bisping kicked him in the nuts, Lavinge did nothing. Bisping had Hendo in his guard, and easily threw 10+ strikes to the back of Hendo's head, and not once did Lavinge issue a warning.
