[@AWhistlingWolf]

As much as I like Hughes, you could argue Newton won that title fight since Hughes was choked unconscious BEFORE Newton was KO'd.

[@jesusiskingofkings4428]

Shoulda been draw or no contest, but in the real world hughes recovered faster and couldve killed newton while he was still out

[@AWhistlingWolf]

@@jesusiskingofkings4428 The problem is that the referee only failed to stop the fight when Hughes went down because nobody could tell he wasn't slamming Newton but instead he had blacked out. Really, really difficult choice to make once you know everything that happened.

[@Hypah]

Poirier is in the thumbnail for the LW video

[@sochioranmyaku]

@@HypahPoirier’s resume is championship caliber. Colby’s best wins are a bunch of guys on losing streaks. RDA is his best win from over 6 years ago at this point.

[@phantomboi]

Matt Hughes won the title by being submitted. Insane.

[@ChrisB605]

@jboi6398 Well maybe. I'd argue that Hughes was out before Newton hit the canvas and got KO'd. If Hughes was out first then he should have actually lost. But there's no way to know for sure, maybe he went out as he slammed Carlos, in which case I guess it is just a race to see who wakes up first? But even double KO's are usually rules NC's or draws.

Swap Woodley and Leon. The disrespect towards Woodley is crazy, If Leon defends against Belal, either getting a finish or a dominate 5 round masterclass then he surpasses Woodley. If its a Colby 2.0 then he doesn't.

This video's given me enough time to reflect and realize Matt Hughes really is the second greatest WW of all time and there's absolutely nobody that's even close to topping him, GSP and Hughes at the top until someone else truly dominant arises, don't tell me Usman either when the dude's idea of clearing out the division was having two rematches against opponents he already beat within a span of 5 title fights
