Really disappointed in Masvidal's effort. Colby was stumbling at him with loopy, awkward attacks from the beginning of the fight, and Masvidal seemed really passive and awkward in his own right. Where was the fighter we saw against Till and Diaz? Wanted to see Colby's head pounded through the floor.
ya it was weird, also thought Colby looked really sloppy, very open

I don't think Colby looked sloppy. His straight punches, mostly jabs, were crisp and on point, he got almost a dozen of them in a row at some point. His crosses were another story but I felt like their goal wasn't to deal damage - just a side bonus if they did - but to check his entry points against Masvidal for the takedowns. The pressure was there, and he dealt with the reversals on the ground masterfully, he was never threatened on the ground.
Sure his boxing looked better against Usman, but the gameplan was different, blows were his path to victory in those two fights. Merely a set up during this fight.
For Masvidal, maybe he should just stick with strikers, I don't think he has another run at the belt (isn't he 36 or 37?) considering the beasts on the way. Just give him Wonderboy for a rematch. I don't want to see him go through Nate Diaz again, first fight was tough to watch already.
And Turner looked so good I agree!
"Rusty" RDA also signed a great performance to boot, he didn't let Moicano much of a chance. I was a bit disappointed in Marina Rodriguez, she still won but I felt like it shouldn't have been this close, maybe an off day on her part.

Colby was lunging off-balanced with wild, inaccurate attacks early in the fight. Looked like someone who picked apart Till and Diaz should've had a field day with that, but there weren't many attempts at counters. Sure, Colby's wrestling was superior, and once he had worn Masvidal down, he was able to unleash some lengthy combos. The fight didn't live up the the hype, especially from Masvidal's end. He puts on the "street Jesus" persona, and there's supposed to be bad blood here, but he let himself lose the fight more than Colby won it.

McKee vs Pitbull 2, hopefully we'll see McKee light him up & get a win. Then, maybe he can move on to the UFC?

Missed the card, but I can't believe Font got wrecked. I was always a fan after he knocked out Roop in a highlight-reel KO.
But he's really only lost to the top of the crop, so I figure Vera is sure deal.

The new card is so much better now, too bad I'm not going to be around to watch it live.
