Octagon control only counts IF you can't decide a winner from striking and grappling.

Yeah I know. I still though max controlled everything before the 5th.

I thought max beat him easily even if 3-2. 4th was a tossup but thought max controlled. First two he dominated and I thought he won the 3rd.

I don't think he got the 4th at all. Controlling the ring doesn't trump getting hit more often.

When will we find out the pay per view numbers? In danas presser after the event?

Usman is probably going to wrestlehump him in a boring fight, IMO.

I belive they've only ever released 1 ESPN PPV #s before, that was the Tony vs Justin fight. All the other ones they tend not to release the numbers anymore. So most likely if it does more than 249 (I believe 700k) we will see the numbers in the next few days. If the buys don't surpass that, I believe we will never see the number and Dana just say "This fight did great numbers".

Never. Maybe some estimates or Dana saying it did "very well". I think since the switch to ESPN, the PPV numbers isnt't revealed anymore.

No idea, but they won't include me. I'm an illegal streamer since forever ago lol.

Looking at resumes, Usman is much more impressive.

But it takes one hit with Masdival. He is one of those guys.

They weren't really revealed before, so much as Meltzer got inside info.

Ok I just saw a graph the other day of top ppv buys and the top was Connor and khabib at like 2.4 million or something. ( Connor had 4 or 5 of the top 6). So I thought they get released after every event

As an I and probably a lot of us. They’d probably double their sales if not for the easy access to streams.

Great start for Masvidal.

Masdival keeps stopping takedown attempts. Other than that first minute, he has done fantastic.

No, but they might halve their fan interest.

The toe stomp

1-1. Masvidal is dangerous though whenever they are on distance.

Usman will win in this round

Pretty much going how I thought (most thought) it would. Grind it out game for Usman
