Yo! Any fights you are particularly interested in today?

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

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

Thanks everyone for coming out!

These next few events will be much better cards! See you then!

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 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.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A clear, obvious headbutt.

No points taken.

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

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

That's a DQ headbutt in my book.

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

Damn this Wood v Fili fight is awesome

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] RobotDrZaius@kbin.social 4 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.

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

I had no issue with the stoppage but absolutely 0 of those G&P punches landed.

Either stop it on the knockdown or wait until at least ONE lands. You're not really giving the other guy a chance.

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

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

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

Stoliarenko:

Many have tried

Only half succeeded

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

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

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 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.

[–] dres@kbin.social 3 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.

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

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

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

can we have live threads for slamball? /s

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

He's doing good for fighting with one arm.

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

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

swinging for the fences.

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

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

Damn, Culibao damn near finished here in the 3rd

Molly still looks lost on the ground.

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

Glad the ol bearjew won that one.

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

Boxcar Barbarena

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

Muradov has sky high potential

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

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

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

Are your arts mixed martialed?

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

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

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

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

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 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.

Very un-UFC like.

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

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

[–] dres@kbin.social 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.

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

that was tight

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

Muradov's ability to get in and out, land precision strikes, and now with his improved ability to get takedowns makes him so dangerous.

Pogues looks like he skips leg day too often.
