28 year old vs. 36 year old who has had two fights in 5 years and lost both.

Thanks to everyone who participated in tonight’s thread. I’ll make sure to jump in more for the next card. Hope to see you all during the week also!

Whoop whoop!

I'm almost positive he beat him in and out of consciousness as his arms went stiff in the air a couple of times then started moving again

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

these cage grabs and getting ridiculous, just use one of your five free fence grabs to defend a position and presto, refs happy because no more fence grabs

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

This is all John "I invented all the rules" McCarthy's fault, he used to openly talk about how it would be illogical to take a point for minor infractions, and so now it's turned into all this.

If they don't want to take a point, there should be predetermined positions that the fouled fighter can choose to restart in.

"Ok, you grabbed the cage, fighter A chooses to restart in top half guard. GO"

It's incredibly simple to stop all this.

ah, the ceremonial victory twerk

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Fights start in 15 min. Let’s go!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Just hate when there's repeated fouls and then no points taken.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

sorry I wasn't as active this week.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's ok, this was a rough card

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You aren’t kidding. It’s hard to get hyped for a Holly Holm headliner.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

In the apex.

With like, the first 7 fights not having a fighter coming off a UFC win...

They're just putting out a regional product on a lot of these.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Also, it's being targeted by kbin developers to have the comment box up top by next event. Should make these threads a lot better.

that was one sided.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You just know that at some point the UFC approached a commission asking for more time between rounds so they could add an extra commercial.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

they are flying through fights tonight

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Dana is a girl’s name

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is a regional level fight, neither of these guys are UFC level

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It's ESPN undercard level 😎 (other fights were good though)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Lingo is gonna feel that tomorrow, damn.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Well loses by terrible injury and goes 0-4 in the UFC. Welcome to cutsville, GL with the arm. -Dana, probably

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Oh my God that's a horrrrrrrrrible injury

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Hey all, go upvote and boost all our highlight clips as the bot brings them over so the rest of the fediverse sees them. Thanks all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

That was crazy. He had the arm trapped behind the back. There was no defend at all.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Chandler was gonna Forrest Gump her way out of the cage lmfao

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Minty Bets is AI, and I refuse to believe otherwise

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

You can't be laying there with your arms stuck out not defending yourself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Dom is quiet when no nonsense peterson is introduced

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Holly Holm has the same headshape as Peyton Manning and now I can't unsee it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I was hoping to hear the ISH louder

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago
