Holy crap Maia looking good
I think Maia is looking for the single leg.
Many years ago Frank Mir broke Tim Sylvias arm. It wasn’t obvious to the viewer but herb dean called the fight off and he was proved to be correct
Nice, that was a bit before my time but I remember watching the Nog submission, that was brutal. Those types of things should always be called technical submissions imo.
Damien Maia on the way to Bellator
Time for Maia to retire.
Yes I remember that Nog arm break, it was gross
This should be easy for Leon.
Good fight so far. Want Diaz to do it to be honest.
Anyone got a stream? Not having any luck with the usual ones.
That leg chop
Leon is on another lvl
Diaz has been left behind. It was only a matter of time, especially with so much time away between fights. The modern fighters of 2021 have too much for him.
Dana is in big trouble ifDiaz is their biggest star...
It’s not a fight with Nate Diaz unless he’s bleeding profusely.
The amount of scar tissue on his bake is mental.

This will be stopped in this round.
Diaz is a joke. All bullshit bravado and feck all else.
I am not a fan either, even his posture is fecked from all his hard man swaggering around.
I know people love him because he is a warrior but he has no business against guys like this anymore.
Even calling him a warrior is generous. He's a punching bag, an extremely sturdy punching bag.
But people love his antics, for whatever reason.
Holy shit, he almost pulled that off
And he almost throws it away after all that. What an idiot.
What a scare towards the end
Honestly that was a poor performance from Edwards. Nate is trash and he almost managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

The feck did he leave it so late.
Embarrassed for 4 rounds and decides to turn it on so late in the 5th.
Disappointed really.

That was the one two that ended Conor.
Nate manages a good Stockton slap in the 5th.No doubt why dana loves diaz and keeps awarding him fights against better opponents. The guy knows how to put on a show.
Why the feck didn't he go all in at the end? Imagine winning a fight like that in the last round. Diaz must have been exhausted

If he jumps on that quickly I think he would have won it, no clue why he was so slow to throw again
Yeah why did he hesitant!??
Yeah he was very wobbly after that hit. Silly.
The tank was probably empty I think.
Poor Leon Edwards is a charisma vacuum and he just doesn’t get any luck either.
Left looking like a chump by Masvidal and then absolutely dominating and showcasing his talent here, only to nearly get knocked out and leave people with that visual after putting on a clinic.
He needs a personality transplant and some attitude quickly.

Very likely
Really all showmanship from Diaz tonight, aside from the 5th round almost steal, he was owned and never really felt as though Leon was ever threatened much.
I think he wont be getting a title fight against usman just because of this
. Dana must hate himI'm not sure if Leon will get a title shot after that. His interview hardly helped either.
For four rounds Edwards looks like he’s the logical next fight for Usman. Then Nate slaps him and nearly lot’s him.I don't know why the exaggeration here. He gave a good post fight interview against a highly hostile crowd that were fully behind Diaz, despite Leon dominating that fight.
I've seen many handle it worse, but he accepted his win with class.
