Yo! Any fights you are particularly interested in today?

I love Muradov. I scouted him for betting reasons just prior to his UFC debut. His ceiling is incredibly high.

Well, that was quick. Aspinall is going to get some real competition his next fight out. Good job.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Right back into the mix, probably 1 good win from a title shot honestly. Though who knows how the title picture will look since Jones may retire after the Stipe defense.

A clear, obvious headbutt.

No points taken.

I hate the apathy from the refs in this fucking sport. It's so unprofessional.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's a DQ headbutt in my book.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

swinging for the fences.

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

Damn that staredown was intense

NGL I thought Craig was going to wilt at this weight. Amazing performance. I loved that sub escape to pass maneuver.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Damn this Wood v Fili fight is awesome

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Duncan is definitely aware of the injury in the third. Ashmouz is losing steam.

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

might be an issue with his left hand, but he keeps landing the right.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

He's doing good for fighting with one arm.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

So unimpressed by Vieira. Almost the entire fight in control time and nothing to show for it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Fili's back tat looks like it's been unfinished for the last 10 years

Good idea Bisping, let's hear some more of your half-baked political takes while on commentary.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Stoliarenko:

Many have tried

Only half succeeded

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

"...not used to fighting in front of the sold out arena" Camera pans and about 10% of the seats, at most, are filled.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks everyone for participating. Glad to see some familiar usernames along with some new ones. Hope to see you all around the magazine regularly.

Looked like they were fighting under water at the end.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Has there been a resurgence of Ric Flair Woo's?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Hot Chocolate got cooked

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

a literal slobber knocker.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

dickus kickus

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

fights and an IndyCar race. Not a bad Saturday.

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

Damn, Culibao damn near finished here in the 3rd

MEATBALL time

Worse nickname, "Beastin 25/8" or "Black Country Banger" ?

Glad to see Aspinall back in the win column. I think he’s the UFC HW that can give Jon Jones the toughest fight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Made that look too easy. Tybura might as well have been moving in slow motion

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Molly still looks lost on the ground.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Duncan looked good. Ashmouz was tough fighting with one hand.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Are your arts mixed martialed?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

love the earlier start times, and we're right into the fights!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Tell you right now. Blue Beetle ain't beating Fedor.

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

Early fights with the boiiisss! Liking the commentary team. Gooden and Bisping are great. Felder is....there too.

I remember when Faber broke both of his hands against Mike Brown.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Love not having to go to sleep at 3-5am!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Good scrap between Bannon and Brasil! I like when some kickboxers forget wrestling is a thing and just wing kicks upside each other's heads with no worries of being taken down.

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

Question for next week. Are the mods going to make multiple threads for UFC, Bellator and Rizin, or you just going to make one for the night? There will be some slight overlap with Bellator.

This event is chugging right along. Not a long wait between the fights.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Very un-UFC like.
