Evloev is JACKED for a featherweight

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

Strong performances on this card so far. I wasn’t too hyped for this event on paper, but it’s looking good!

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

Damn, what an upset. Never thought Magny would win over Malott.

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

Sorry I got the thread up a little late. Enjoy the fights!

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

Great fight to start the main card.

Wish both of them mixed it up a bit more. Dricus looks goofy AF out there, but he always finds a W.

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

Pennington definitely earned that one. Bueno Silva had some great submission chances but she got outclassed.

Thanks to those that participated in the live thread and the quiet ones that upvoted the finishes. Hopefully we have more traffic in the live threads as we approach UFC 300. We have some awesome fights to look forward to over the next two months. Hope to see you all for the next one!

Damn DDP got his second wind. Sean looks cooked.

Of all the women’s bantamweight title fights in the UFC, that was one of them.

Me too. Doesn’t look to be much talent at that level on the horizon, unfortunately. I’m dreading Pennington vs. Pena.

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

Tough fight to score. Flip a coin.

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

I was expecting a slobberknocker but this was much more calculating by both fighters.

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

Strickland has a nice jab. DDP looks awkward as always, but he’s dangerous. We know Strickland can maintain his pace. Not sure about DDP’s gas tank. Interesting fight.

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

If DDP connects solidly, this might be all over.

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

We need a finish. 297 started strong and then fizzled once we got past the prelims.

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

I think DDP needs to threaten some more takedowns and mix up his strikes a bit.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Great first fight.

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That was a BEATdown, Cachoiera wasn’t ready

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Such a frustrating third round...

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

Kind of a snoozer fight except for the last two minutes.

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

Finish streak continues!
