[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Guys, it's been a pleasure and a honor spending this time with you.
We were blessed with one of the best cards I've ever seen... Amazing day for the mma fan.
Goodnight everybody.

Happy to see Dan get the win.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Yo I love Moreno but there's no way he went 49-46.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

That score for Moreno is fucked. Glad the other judges got it right. Moreno’s stock doesn’t drop with this loss. That was a great fight.

[–] theyprovidethepaint 7 points 2 years ago

What a fucking fight, can’t believe both of those guys stayed awake

[–] UndeadLeech 7 points 2 years ago

Really happy to see an active live discussion thread for MMA on the fediverse. Thanks to everyone for participating.

Du Plessis literally just flailed his way to a title shot, fuck sake

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

What a great fucking card. Thanks to the community for hanging out!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I've watched his whole career basically. I feel old.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Volk is unreal. Lands one super clean shot and it’s over. It looked like Yair was starting to get loose too.

Dana better spare 1 million dollars in bonuses for this night.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Wow, amazing fight, congrats Volkanovski

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

What a great way to go out. Didn't even take any damage.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

this card's been incredible

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

the crowd makes such a difference, it's nice to watch a fight that doesn't sound like it's in an empty church.

Putting this up a bit early since I’ll be running around this afternoon. Fights start in four hours. Let’s go!

I don't like this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)
