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.

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.
