That loving replay. One more punch would have finished him. He never would have blocked it. Fuuuuuck.

nate definitely thought "i could end this dude's whole career" at the end there but thought better of it, out of the goodness of his heart

this is the closest MMA feels to seeing some regular boring fighter have to fight like The Ultimate Warrior circa 1991

The wild thing about it was that the right hand was the Stockton Slap, then that left loving connected. That last minute was bonkers nutso and ruled

it's the perfect diaz moment, because he'll use that in at least ten more interviews about why he's the best and would have won even though he clearly, immediately could have won that fight and instead he chose to point and laugh and give him the bird rather than, y'know, punching him

I see Figueirdo winning, but in honor of the Barn Cat, I'm rooting for Baby Assassain.

Was it Good Guy Nate who intentionally let Leon survive as to save the man's career after an otherwise convincing win?

Or was it Four More Rounds of Brain Damage Nate who didn't process how hurt Leon was. A light gust would have blown Leon over let alone a basic jab.

Despite the fact that Nate got his rear end beat for 24 minutes, this will be all anyone remembers about the fight.

comparing what figgy does to what n'gannou does is pretty mental, but I will concede the small man would knock me out

I feel like his leg was so hosed he could only stumble haphazardly towards Edwards

Also this when Nate should've *immediately* followed up, but he sure did try to end things a few seconds later:

I'm so mad because I had a parley on Nate and Adesanya that would have won me $700+. Like I only bet $130 or so but drat.
