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!

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Whoop whoop!

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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

Welcome back AES

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Fights start in 15 min. Let’s go!

[–] mcmug@kbin.social 4 points 1 year 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

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year 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.

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

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

ah, the ceremonial victory twerk

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

whats up mothafuckas

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Damn Perez is thicccc

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

sorry I wasn't as active this week.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's ok, this was a rough card

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year 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.

T-Wreck'd am I rite?

[–] mcmug@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Never seen someone turn their back and run before, but I guess it works

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Met Tucker at Ground Control in Baltimore once. Nice fella.

[–] notannpc@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I loved the ref repeatedly saying “you’re okay” to the person whose arm just broke. She is most definitely not okay.

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

AAHHHH BAD INJURY

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I was hoping to hear the ISH louder

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

39 year old flyweight Tyson Nam later tonight. Oooh boy.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

that was one sided.

[–] AssaultPepper@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Who are we looking forward to tonight?

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Most of the main card + Tucker Lutz

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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.

Love me a crucifuck

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] busydoinnothin@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Dom is quiet when no nonsense peterson is introduced

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Oh my God that's a horrrrrrrrrible injury

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

The Iron Turtle is a cool nickname

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

nice finish

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year 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.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

He even dances like an iron turtle, it's incredible

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Her screaming on the mic after was brutal. Ouch

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

name a greater main event in ufc history. I'll wait.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

good win by turtle man, looking forward to his next fight

[–] YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Minty Bets is AI, and I refuse to believe otherwise

[–] lackthought@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Wow standing arm triangle?!?

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

[–] bender@infosec.pub 2 points 1 year ago
