I can't wait for Cheeto to take off the first 3-4 rounds.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It was all part of the plan.

Exhibit 0 fight IQ for the entire fight, land an uppercut, win.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Wohoo let the carnage begin. Starting with two babes just scrambling one out, that's the way I like it.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Damn, that knee was absolutely perfect

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Fights start in 2.5 hours. I'll try to get the finishes up if the bot is drunk. Let's go!

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Steve Mazzagatti approved of that stoppage

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

On the last Embedded it looked like Chito used the side of the portable dressing room to shed that last pound at weigh ins. For that reason I hope he gets KOed.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

If he takes 3-4 rounds off like he does in every other fight he's gonna lose again.

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

I was only casually watching the Yan fight. Was that a good decision? Every time I looked, Song was winning.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah that was definitely the right decision. There was a little back and forth but Yan was the dominant fighter overall.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Petr's dramatically slowing

[–] ya_dong@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Coach: no guillotine. Dustin 1min later jumping guillotine

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

Jumping Gi is still the dumbest thing experienced fighters do regularly

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

DP is next level with them tonight. He must hit guillotines nonstop in the gym.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Damn, Robelis Despaigne showed out

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Dos Anjos is still fast as hell for his age. Let's see if he pulls this one off.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I just hope Blaydes walks out to the Mortal Kombat theme still

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

TnT walkout

Always a classic

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Drinking game: take a shot every time Dustin pulls his shorts up

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Anyone who plays this will be dead from alcohol poisoning before the end of the first round.

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

This main card is pretty stacked. I’m looking forward to all of these fights!

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah this is almost a better card than 300

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I like this main event better than 300 for sure.

[–] ya_dong@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Dustin you fucking cunt you better show up to fight I got $30 on your lazy hotsauce selling ass

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Crazy pace. I doubt either guy can maintain it for multiple rounds.

[–] ya_dong@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Its Chito's time to be champ!

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Nervous for Dustin, but he’s a gritty bastard. Hope he can do the damn thing.

[–] ASaltPepper@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

This card is delivering. That finish from Maddalena was 👌👌

[–] ASaltPepper@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Gotta give first round to MVP, but man he plays it close.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

I had money on MVP and it was so hard to watch. He kept falling down and getting himself in bad positions.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It was a good night of fights!
