Holy shit what a KO

Place to talk about the **sport** of mixed martial arts
Damn, Kevin Lee's fall from grace has been something to behold.
I’m surprised the UFC brought him back after struggling to beat the ghost of Diego Sanchez.
No kidding
Just got home and caught up with the Kevin Lee fight. Just brutal. I wonder how long he was out and still getting strangled.
He got flashed then strangled, tough way to go.
I feel bad for him. I hope he can bounce back. He is still young. Good for Rinat though. He seems like a respectful guy so all respect to him. Unbelievable highlight for the reel.
great finish
Sick finish to the round from Guram! Had Brener on queer street.
Thanks everyone for making the first 'post-rif, now kbin mma era' a thing
Well this is the first post RIF, BUT this isn't the first. We had an event during the blackout that had the most comments on kbin ever. Like, ALL of kbin.
There were problems all event long this evening between kbin and lemmy and that sorta separated the crowd out, but we'll be back next event! Thanks for stopping by!
Hell yeah
I'm sure Sean is going to say something very intelligent in this postfight.
His media day interview was painful and not in the fun Tito way.
Clowned him with a full nelson. For shame.
Brenner looks like a marauder, crazy that he's able to do this to Guram.
So Mel Gibson went to the apex to watch Sean Strickland vs Magomedov
I'm dead
The Romanov fight was solid, he showed some improvement. In round two, his jab was on point. Throughout the fight, his leg kicks were landing effectively. He showed what we knew he had, the big takedowns and heavy top game.
My two wishes for him are to lose weight and stop throwing himself out of position with big left overhands. He's still a good prospect in the HW division for me.
I put the thread up early as I will be mobile.
Fights start at 4 PM ET, or approximately 4 hours after this post. Get hype!
I will be here at some point. Enjoy the upcoming fights.
Looks like there's problems posting threads right now on kbin with the lemmy upgrade.
Just got back, lets dooo this
The fuck was that celebration from Brito?
wow
35-8-2-2 record, whole lotta fights for a 29 year old in his UFC debut. 33 finishes.
that was slick
Think Bonfim wanted out, that hurts bad but didn't look under the chin
Somewhere, Rin Nakai is smiling.
Sanko's been great on the mic tonight, just oozes charisma and excitement without trying.
It's risky putting her with Bisping. The first time I saw them together, there were some cringe moments. I jumped on late so I haven't heard anything suspect from those two yet. I like Sanko.
Morales passing the gatekeeper test. Not setting any panties on fire with that decision though.
This is Damir time. You know this brother.
Dawson and Damir achieving the most homo-erotic position of the night
idk, the finger up the butt earlier was... up there.
Never let a good opportunity go to waste.
At least he had gloves on.
A wild Joanna appears!
Strickland sorta fights like a Diaz just a ton of punches at 50% and then he stings you with a 90%er out of nowhere
Wow, what a second round. Abus got totally outclassed and melted.
Bruh replacing the bleep out with the mute out really ruined television.
Minty Bets sounds like the name of a black preacher who runs back alley dice games.
Dawson flying like a spider monkey
Hopefully kbin and lemmy will get their issues sorted out in time for the next event to get that thread rolling again like previously. Thanks for coming by everyone.
If you have time, please check us out during the week and comment in the threads. Lets grow this place!!!!!
Thanks for organizing the thread and keeping it lively! Looking forward to the next one.
I looked for this thread on lemmy but couldn't find it from there. Had to go find it on the fight thread on /r/mma unfortunately. I just searched @mma on lemmy.world and nothing came up.
Yeah something is broken right now between lemmy and kbin. I think it has to do with the recent lemmy update.
I'd love to stay here so I'll keep checking and deal with the growing pains. Without Reddit is Fun, they can get fucked.
We'll be here!
I got my eye on Grant Dawson, Michael Morales, Benoit Saint-Denis, Rinat Fakhretdinov, Nursulton Ruziboev, Elvis Brenner, and Alexander Romanov. All fun fighters with upside in their divisions.
