Maybe Barboza can be that FW contender we were hoping for? :drool:

A man can dream.
I’m definitely a casual fan compared to most on here, but is it possible? He always seems to look so vulnerable despite his crazy offence

No, not anymore

He is a legend though, but always the nearly man and now time is nearly up.

If he lost tonight he was probably on his way out

Edson looks like an absolute world beater..until he doesn't. Very unlikely he'll be able to put together the kind of streak required. He's always great to watch though.

He's basically 50% leg kicks 50% everything else, which isn't always ideal.

He looked like he may lose if it went the distance tonight.

I don't think he look particularly great to be honest. I think there's night and day difference between him and Max for instance. He looks good, yeah, but no substance imo.

Over professionals beating each other up -- that's very important. Very important.

Flawless 2 rounds for Dariush.

Couple of times when Tony put him in awkward moments he defended perfectly. Apart from that is been all Dariush. Easily 2 rounds up

Feel like Rogan is talking shit. If you tear that ligament between your ankle and your calf -- you're not standing back up on it. I don't give a feck how tough you are. If those muscles are apart - that leg is gone. He stalking shit imo.

That's all he does. Pure shit talker. The Jermaine Jenas of MMA.

feck. Now is safe to say he is done. Not because he lost to Dariush, but the way he did.

The end of an era. I hope he retires soon after and dont end up like Diego.
