    Ahh gotcha. His corner was calling him Jorge like Posada so I'll go with that.

    Covington's standup is also shit, but he was also a solid collegiate wrestler. He could defend the takedown, and get out of the clinch.

    Usman stands and bangs in this one, he's getting the three piece and the drink.

    Usman stood and threw with Colby then he strategically dismantled Masvidal

    Jorge took the fight with a week's notice. Easy to think it could be different with a full camp.

    because masvidal didn’t have a full camp. 6 day notice. His endurance obviously was a MAJOR factor in this fight. Not saying it would be different but it was a big difference

    I get Masvidal didnt give him much, but maybe its closer if he had a camp....but he didn't show enough to make me think so

    What is the advantage from fighting in the "clinch"? Does it just test the other guy's endurance?

    Jorge said he'd go win a couple fights then wanted a run back. Not crazy to think he could earn another title shot with a couple wins.

    It's exhausting and a tough way to fight. Guys who box/kick can't use those weapons in the clinch.

    If Usman wants a Masvidal pay day he’ll run it back. This card will do massive numbers, in large part due to Masvidal.

    jorge said he’ll win another fight or two and then we’ll run it back

    i’d rather see jorge take on a fighter strictly to be entertained

    didn’t feel like staying up this late for foot stomps and shoulder strikes

    It won’t do massive numbers again

    everyone was bored out of their minds even if they want to say they’re an mma hardo and were entertained

    Usman didn’t even try to hurt him. He stomped on his toes and shouldered him from 6 inches away

    Didn't think Usman was particularly boring compared to some of the other wrestlers we've seen lately. He was throwing bombs to the ribs in the clinch.

    Nate Diaz, Justin Gaethje, Conor, and Masvidal in any combination and I will watch that PPV at any cost.

    The BMF title bout is still one of the best I've ever seen.

    As a very casual UFC fan, I imagine watching that fight for most people is similar to casual football fans watching Wisconsin’s offense.

    I’m sure technical aspects of it are great to the religious fans. The majority of people don’t care to watch that though. Leave Usman off main events.

    Fun fight but just the past few weeks we had Poirier/Hooker and Emmet/Burgos that are all time classics.
