Definitely looking for Bendo to get a convincing win over Pitbull. Love Bendo!

Also, Rory Mac appears on his way to Bellator.

Interesting pick up by Belltor if I were them I’d also try to land Cowboy too.

Great fight!

I thought the judges' decision was correct.

I thought Conor took rounds 1, 2, and 4, with Nate taking rounds 3 and 5.

Considering the fight as a whole, the fact that Conor knocked Nate Diaz down three times clean, plus all those effective kicks, plus all great defense Conor put up against Nate's takedown attempts, made Conor the overall winner.

Conor did have to avoid Nate during the middle of the fight when Conor was clearly winded, but I don't have a problem with that: it was up to Nate to capitalize on that, and he wasn't really able to fully.

Nate failed to knock Conor down, and was only able to achieve a takedown in the last 15 seconds of the fight. Too little, to late.

Again, great fight. We need more like that.

I didn't think Conor could do it. It was close, but I thought Conor did just enough to win.

I think both fighters gained some more respect for each other. Nate just kep coming and coming, but he sure was a bloody mess by the end. Conor was relatively unmarked.

Vote Trump!

A checked kick strikes again.

It was said that Bellator wanted MacDonald, huge signing for them.

That was an odd ending. If Benson fights against Chandler like he did against Pitbull and Koreshkov, Chandler will dominate him. If UFC Benson shows up, it will be a fun and competitive fight.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see Cowboy fighting for the title soon

I was expecting him to dominate Pitbull. All credit for checking the kick but it was still a freak thing that it broke Pitbull’s leg.

He had some trouble getting back down to 155, maybe that had something to do with it.
