@ufc 263: #Legends #UFC263 🤜🤛 Israel Adesanya succesfully defended his belt for the third time, Brandon "The Assasin Baby" Moreno becomes the new and first ever mexican champion, Leon "Rocky" Edwards deserves the next title shot and Nate Diaz coming up short but what a legendary fighter #Respect (via UFC on BT Sport)

As probably the only person on this site who actually enjoys Leon Edwards, I don’t think him beating up Nate like that was going to win him new fans or get people calling for him to fight Usman again (but that’s what I want). Edwards has done an amazing job taking the faults of his early UFC run, primarily his weakness to pressure, and building an entire system of fighting based around keeping fights at an even manageable pace using really crafty traps and nifty range management tools. But that don’t win you fans sadly. Especially when the guy who beat you has been putting everyone away with an ultra aggressive approach. AND like we saw at the end of this fight, if you build your game around trying to completely slow down the pace, people who are willing to throw will eventually find your chin because this is MMA, not boxing. No one’s defense is that good. Props to Nate, as always for being game and providing some excitement and honestly stealing what little heat Edwards would have got for winning this fight without the late scare.

I don’t see how you give Murphy two rounds. Definitely won the 2nd, can even argue a 10-8 but she got out struck in the first round, both in terms of volume and in terms of damaging shots. Then she got lit up for the entirety of the third.
