I'm glad he is up and with it again. Dayum

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

ran right through him.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Tony went from "oh his BJJ could match Khabib"

...to lookin' like a blue belt all night long.

Didn't defend or fight that arm triangle for one second.

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

It's absolutely unreal the shit that somebody the size of Derrick Lewis pulls off. Flying knees, jumping switchkicks... absolutely terrifying.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

The thought of a dude who is 6'3 and 265lbs+ being able to do a flying knee is terrifying

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Holy shit Lewis is a savage.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

THE BLACK BEAST!!

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

Tony has nothing more to give, really wish he would retire. I’m sad he hasn’t got the best prospects for post-fighting careers though. I don’t think he’s going to be good at commentary with the amount of CTE he’s got now. He won’t be in high demand as a coach because he’s so whacky with his style rather than being a technician. Feels bad man.

This is the opposite of what I wanted to see. Tony is eating a lot of shots.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I was there when Derrick Lewis did this.

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

Tony trying to get in a slugfest.... from the bottom

Tony has landed 100 headbutts against Bobby's fist, bold strategy

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

Tony breaking Bobbys hand. CSO

That sound almost made me feel bad.

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

I remember when Rumble hit DC with a punch. It sounded like a baseball bat.

Keep an eye out around 11PM ET for the Bellator X Rizin 2 live thread. We’ll give dueling threads a shot tonight and see how it goes.

Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

OH MY GOD DERRICK LEWIS

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Hey Google, what would "achy breaky heart" look like as a MMA fighter?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Green by sub was not on my bingo card.

I hope Tony retires rather than getting cut and going to some other org for more CTE.

[–] mecha_pope 4 points 2 years ago

Got him with the Jorge masvidal opening.

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

Am I alone pulling for Bobby in this one? He's so fun to watch.

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

I'm sorry man, Tony needs a win. He can't go bareknuckle, they don't allow elbows.

Bummed we lost Thompson vs Pereira, but the main card is still stacked.

Tony looked legit incompetent off his back in rd 2.

Why wouldn't he turn his back and post to get up instead of just flailing in bottom guard?

"Better not turn around and post... Can't let the RNC master... Bobby Green... get my back"

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

Good back and forth between Semelsberger and Medic. Semelsberger starting to look a little Salt Lake City tired after all of this body work by Medic.

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

matchmaker giveaway. you get to book a prelim fight for a Holly Holm headliner at the Apex.

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

ad read right into mentioning one minute left in the round. that shit annoys me so much.

Bobby "HHH" Green

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

FUCK YES DERRICK LETS GO

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

that was slick.

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

You hear the roar in there? It's a lot of people for the prelims but the sound in the Delta Center in SLC is shit. It has no sound treatment so it is loud AF. They used to put the decibel level on the screen during Jazz playoff games so I think they intentionally make it loud as hell in there by not using any sound treatment.

I still stand by this being the weirdest matchmaking ever, but alright. Lets see what happens.

Salvador looks a bit cocky in there for someone who missed weight.

EDIT: and he’s getting cracked left and right

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

Somebody on the other site posted: The name Miranda Maverick sounds like a patriotic pornstar.

[–] mecha_pope 3 points 2 years ago
