I hope Lewis and Ferguson bring back some of their old magic but I am not too optimistic.

The sound of Gaethje’s shots landing on the arms and body is crazy.

[–] beard_hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Shit shit shit... That was unbelievable...

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

And she even Brazil tapped to end it. Cut this bitch. Good riddance Cachoeira.

I feel that was the right decision. Alex looked like he could go another round, Jan looked like he might have a heart attack.

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

tapped him

Heel went straight into the balls, Rogan is tripping.

Boxing in the pocket is exactly what you DON'T want to do with Pereira.

[–] busydoinnothin@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Holy shit Lewis is a savage.

[–] BrucePotality@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I love derrick Lewis

Somebody on the other site posted: The name Miranda Maverick sounds like a patriotic pornstar.

Holy shit

Conor McGregor has a more recent win than Tony.

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

Goddamn

Buffer/Chiesa for UFC 300.

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

that was slick.

[–] beard_hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

This is some unreal shit. Lewis just went beast mode in secs....

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

You hear the roar in there? It's a lot of people for the prelims but the sound in the Delta Center in SLC is shit. It has no sound treatment so it is loud AF. They used to put the decibel level on the screen during Jazz playoff games so I think they intentionally make it loud as hell in there by not using any sound treatment.

HOLY SHIT

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

That shit was just sad. UFC should be ashamed of themselves

[–] toastus@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Oh Tony why?

I don't want you to die in there every time.

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

Good back and forth between Semelsberger and Medic. Semelsberger starting to look a little Salt Lake City tired after all of this body work by Medic.

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

Tony looked legit incompetent off his back in rd 2.

Why wouldn't he turn his back and post to get up instead of just flailing in bottom guard?

"Better not turn around and post... Can't let the RNC master... Bobby Green... get my back"

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Flying knee from Lewis. I did not pick that.
