Let's do this every week! Super fun and a great atmosphere in here. I'm not going back to reddit. I was there 12 years, and saw it slip just like I saw digg slip before it. Let's keep this going while we wait for others to see the obvious - once the people who create the best content leave there's no reason to stay there.

Hello, this is Marvin Vettori's brain. I'm not able to answer the phone right now, but please leave a message and I'll get back to you after round five.

This is currently the most commented thread ever on kbin. It's a shame that it won't grow from here, with the return of the subreddit soon.

[–] theusualuser 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm staying here, man. Reddit gets worse with every year, and I'm perfectly happy to talk way too much over here instead of over there.

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

I'll still be posting here and hope others do as well. It just really feels like the fediverse has something going for it if people stick with it.

/r/mma is so trash for discussion if this place even picks up slightly in activity I might just stay here instead tbh

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Fuck reddit. Shit sucks. Kbin is exactly what reddit was back in the day when I liked reddit. Not going back

It will keep growing. Check out my profile for m/BotIt.

It will be great once we are able to implement that.

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

It might be impossible to knockout Vettori.

I'd like to start a petition to replace Cruz with Laura Sanko. I think it'd be nice to get a former female fighter's opinion in there, and she's well spoke and deserves it.

Cruz absolutely creaming himself over Keith Peterson making a mistake, lol.

You could hear the excitement even through his monotone voice.

Also everyone, please upvote this thread itself so we can get other folks from the fediverse to come over to the thread as well. Thanks.

Historically, no one has EVER beat an ass more than Cannonier at middleweight, and yet somehow Vettori is still here. That dude probably lost 2 or 3 years off his career tonight, though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Most exciting fight by either fighter. They both want to make a statement.

Guy gave birth and then takes a fight. Badass

Fights like this deserve a real crowd. Apex is played out.

[–] theusualuser 5 points 1 year ago

I think it takes a metal noggin like Vetorri and a relentless ass beating machine like Cannonier to break that record. We might not see it again.

[–] theusualuser 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TIFU guys, as an aside. Went fishing today, was wading in a stream I've never waded before. Took a step and in that exact spot the water was about 3 feet deeper than on either side. Went completely under, cut my legs up and lost my phone. Phone is....not water proof. $300 fishing trip feels bad man.

Three minutes into the fight, I would have given it to Salikhov. Dalby proved me severely wrong

That was the right call. Good on Keith to fix that.

Love Cannonier fights, Izzy was too smart to trade with him

Incredible that Vettori is still standing. Cannonier was teeing off.

KO of the year.

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

I've heard that damage is a scoring criteria. 4-1 Jared. Marvin is not human.

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

Vettori looks like he just woke up from a nap.

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

ehh after a while it felt like Marvin had nothing for Jared, looked like he was too slow. Corner should've thrown in the towel, he wore the damage well but that could take some time to recover from

I did not expect Vettori to survive that round. Very impressive

[–] theusualuser 4 points 1 year ago

My favorite ref is the ref that gives a warning if it needs a warning and takes a point if it was serious. I think too many refs are hesitant to take a point on things like fence grabs that change the whole position of fight or eye pokes that compromise the fighter for the rest of the fight. I'd like to see more points taken until the behavior decreases across the whole industry
