ah, the ceremonial victory twerk

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I'm almost positive he beat him in and out of consciousness as his arms went stiff in the air a couple of times then started moving again

[–] mcmug@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

these cage grabs and getting ridiculous, just use one of your five free fence grabs to defend a position and presto, refs happy because no more fence grabs

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

This is all John "I invented all the rules" McCarthy's fault, he used to openly talk about how it would be illogical to take a point for minor infractions, and so now it's turned into all this.

If they don't want to take a point, there should be predetermined positions that the fouled fighter can choose to restart in.

"Ok, you grabbed the cage, fighter A chooses to restart in top half guard. GO"

It's incredibly simple to stop all this.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Fights start in 15 min. Let’s go!

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

whats up mothafuckas

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Just hate when there's repeated fouls and then no points taken.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Never seen someone turn their back and run before, but I guess it works

[–] bender 3 points 2 years ago

Lingo is gonna feel that tomorrow, damn.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

sorry I wasn't as active this week.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's ok, this was a rough card

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You aren’t kidding. It’s hard to get hyped for a Holly Holm headliner.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

In the apex.

With like, the first 7 fights not having a fighter coming off a UFC win...

They're just putting out a regional product on a lot of these.

Also, it's being targeted by kbin developers to have the comment box up top by next event. Should make these threads a lot better.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

You just know that at some point the UFC approached a commission asking for more time between rounds so they could add an extra commercial.

[–] busydoinnothin@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Dom is quiet when no nonsense peterson is introduced

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Dana is a girl’s name

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Hey all, go upvote and boost all our highlight clips as the bot brings them over so the rest of the fediverse sees them. Thanks all.

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is a regional level fight, neither of these guys are UFC level

[–] AssaultPepper@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's ESPN undercard level 😎 (other fights were good though)

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Oh my God that's a horrrrrrrrrible injury

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

OMG. That's horrific.

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Her screaming on the mic after was brutal. Ouch

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Well loses by terrible injury and goes 0-4 in the UFC. Welcome to cutsville, GL with the arm. -Dana, probably

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

AAHHHH BAD INJURY

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Met Tucker at Ground Control in Baltimore once. Nice fella.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

That was crazy. He had the arm trapped behind the back. There was no defend at all.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Chandler was gonna Forrest Gump her way out of the cage lmfao

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

The Iron Turtle is a cool nickname

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Minty Bets is AI, and I refuse to believe otherwise

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

He even dances like an iron turtle, it's incredible

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

nice finish

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

good win by turtle man, looking forward to his next fight

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

You can't be laying there with your arms stuck out not defending yourself.

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

damn what a beatdown

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

name a greater main event in ufc history. I'll wait.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Holly Holm has the same headshape as Peyton Manning and now I can't unsee it

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I was hoping to hear the ISH louder
