Yo! Any fights you are particularly interested in today?

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

I love Muradov. I scouted him for betting reasons just prior to his UFC debut. His ceiling is incredibly high.

Thanks everyone for coming out!

These next few events will be much better cards! See you then!

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

NGL I thought Craig was going to wilt at this weight. Amazing performance. I loved that sub escape to pass maneuver.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Well, that was quick. Aspinall is going to get some real competition his next fight out. Good job.

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

Right back into the mix, probably 1 good win from a title shot honestly. Though who knows how the title picture will look since Jones may retire after the Stipe defense.

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

I had no issue with the stoppage but absolutely 0 of those G&P punches landed.

Either stop it on the knockdown or wait until at least ONE lands. You're not really giving the other guy a chance.

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

Damn this Wood v Fili fight is awesome

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

Damn that staredown was intense

A clear, obvious headbutt.

No points taken.

I hate the apathy from the refs in this fucking sport. It's so unprofessional.

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

That's a DQ headbutt in my book.

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

Are your arts mixed martialed?

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

swinging for the fences.

Good idea Bisping, let's hear some more of your half-baked political takes while on commentary.

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

Thanks everyone for participating. Glad to see some familiar usernames along with some new ones. Hope to see you all around the magazine regularly.

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

Early fights with the boiiisss! Liking the commentary team. Gooden and Bisping are great. Felder is....there too.

Stoliarenko:

Many have tried

Only half succeeded

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

Good scrap between Bannon and Brasil! I like when some kickboxers forget wrestling is a thing and just wing kicks upside each other's heads with no worries of being taken down.

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

can we have live threads for slamball? /s

Fili's back tat looks like it's been unfinished for the last 10 years

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

might be an issue with his left hand, but he keeps landing the right.

So unimpressed by Vieira. Almost the entire fight in control time and nothing to show for it

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

"...not used to fighting in front of the sold out arena" Camera pans and about 10% of the seats, at most, are filled.

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

Duncan is definitely aware of the injury in the third. Ashmouz is losing steam.

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

love the earlier start times, and we're right into the fights!

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

Duncan looked good. Ashmouz was tough fighting with one hand.

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

I still can't get over Grant getting robbed

Feel bad for Diakiese, rough way to lose

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

Glad they got that decision right.

MEATBALL time

Love not having to go to sleep at 3-5am!

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

Tell you right now. Blue Beetle ain't beating Fedor.

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

I remember when Faber broke both of his hands against Mike Brown.

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

Question for next week. Are the mods going to make multiple threads for UFC, Bellator and Rizin, or you just going to make one for the night? There will be some slight overlap with Bellator.

This event is chugging right along. Not a long wait between the fights.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Very un-UFC like.

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

Muradov has sky high potential

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

Boxcar Barbarena

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

Muradov's ability to get in and out, land precision strikes, and now with his improved ability to get takedowns makes him so dangerous.

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

Good HW scrap so far. Fairly rudimentary striking but actually pretty disciplined for big boys.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Pogues looks like he skips leg day too often.

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

that was tight

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

Alvarez has those skinny Jon Jones legs.
