Ben Askren shares his thoughts after his retirement match at RAF 11: "I think it was a great ending. If you were writing a script for a movie, maybe it would've been a better ending if I'd been able to hang on to the lead, but I did the very best I could. I started from such a low point, it's hard to even describe. At one point, I couldn't stand up under my own power. If you can imagine how low that is, then when I started working out, the kind of tired I felt was different from anything I'd ever experienced in my life. I couldn't say this before the match because I obviously didn't want Belal to know the strategy to beat me, but my legs won't go hard for six minutes. So unless I could keep the pace low, be really crafty, or force him into positions where he had to shoot, I knew it was going to be a really tough night."

This trend where every movie has to feature people of all races—even historical films set in places where only one race existed—is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in cinema.

Kamaru Usman says he can't look Justin Gaethje in the eyes now that he's the champion. "Unfortunately, I still have to look down when I talk to Justin because he's the world champion now, and unfortunately, I wasn't victorious tonight, so I have to live with that a little more." ( via @ufc )
