The takedowns are going to decide this fight.

In before Adelaide Byrd has this 5-0 Moreno like she did for Canelo

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

This might be the closest 49-46 ever. Definitely need a rematch (Moreno god of rematches)

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

This might be the first time Buffer was standing behind the guy who lost, lol

Brazilian champ once again.

Buffer looking dapper as always.

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

He always looks good but tonight's jacket is especially pimp.

DC telling a story and forgetting the fighter's name.

What a brawl. I think Pantoja takes it, but who the hell knows with the judges?

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

Glad I didn't skip the earlies.

[–] The_Terrible_Humbaba@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I had it 2-2 and don't know who won the 5th. I have no idea who won.

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

Seemed like every time Moreno landed an elbow Pantoja would take him down

[–] ktdg@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

3-1 Pantoja

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

Bro is 5'8" fire hydrant with a 74" reach

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

DDP after that nose job looked great! Whittaker seemed rocked bad after that GnP in the first, hope he comes back stronger.

Also, Izzy being corny AF as always. Can't wait for DDP to wrestlefuck him..

Moreno has the same voice as Cris Cyborg lol

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

The reason this shit takes so long is because the UFC sells timeslots to different networks in the same damn event.

Imagine watching Cowboys vs. Eagles and after the first quarter you have to change it from CBS to NBC.

It's 2023 and we're still doing this shit. It's fuckin' crazy.

He was destroyed
