Good ground defense by Edson but Mitchell dominated him start to finish of rd 2 #UFC272

Judging off the first two rounds. Edson should retire. No fight left in that dog.

Wow! High fight IQ and great win for @ThugnastyMMA any win over Barboza is impressive. What’s next for him? The featherweight division is stacked? #ufc272

Bryce took advantage of every mistake that was made by Barboza. He continues to improve and make a name for himself in one of the toughest divisions.

Once Bryce fights someone who can wrestle, even a little bit, he’s fucked.
