Is it on ESPN? If it is, then I'll likely be able to watch it on our TSN.

It's a pay per view. The local sports bar shows it for free so I watch every time.

I will be watching the prelims. It's started.

Main fight was a major snoozer watching Usman hump his opponent's leg for 5 rounds. I was glad to see Rose win though. Aldo should retire.

I am just a poor working cuss, at 80 some bucks for the fight, then you have to “join” ESPN+ for 50 bucks <for 1 year> I do not watch enough ESPN to justify the cost, have not paid for a UFC fight since McGregor was in his prime.
If I want to watch a MMA fight, I will just tell me wife that she is “prettier then Greg Maddox”, then I get an up close and personal view of a fight at no cost.

Ive never understood why if one doesnt like or appreciate grappling, why watch mma? Muay Thai or kickboxing both allow one strike to a grounded opponent. Usman fought a smart fight. Wore Jorge down then let his hands go. Great fight plan.

I had a pirated live feed but passed out with the phone in my hand because I couldn't sync it to my TV.

Felt like a Boomer.

LOL

I did wrestling and judo so I appreciate grappling. I just hate Usman and wanted him to lose. But also found it boring. Just because I can agree it was smart strategy, doesn't make it an exciting fight for me.

Got suckered into going to see the wifes relatives so only got to see the main event. Looked to me like that weight cut really affected Masvidal badly. Didn't seem to have nearly the energy or gas tank he usually has. Still, he hung in there and didn't get wrecked like many predicted.

I hate it when a guy that I despise gets a last minute fill in that you know is gonna be gassed after one round. Usman got off easy.

Fair enough I don't like usman either but we better get used to him as the guy that could beati retired

I actually thought Covington fought him even until the last round which Usman won. Other than politics, there's no reason he shouldn't get a rematch. Hell, the only fight he lost was the title match and I thought he lost that by one round.
