288 to 21 strikes against potentially the hardest hitter in the division. That's a statement and a half.

All jokes aside I don't think the striking ratio is a good representation of the fight.

I get you.

But be prepared that the UFC will milk that number as much as they can, it fits the story they want to tell.

2

So I definitely doubted Suga for a long time, up until the Yan fight.

And I do think that Suga lost that fight against Yan.

But damn, that guy definitely proved me wrong all the way. Great fight, flash finish.

I’m on vacation with the family so I can’t watch live. Hope everyone is enjoying the fights. I’ll be back for 293.

6

Garry not winning any personality contests, but that was about as dominant as a decision win gets. I guess all we really learned is his defensive wrestling is solid, though.

Could y'all imagine O’Malley sleeping him? doubt it but it would be wild

5

If anything the stoppage should have been earlier, but he was beginning to defend himself

1

I would have let Aljo continue a little longer but that shouldn't lessen the fact that Sean hit that one beautifully.

that's still unfair.. 3 8's? im pretty sure magny hit him

4

good fight.. bummed aljo didnt keep it but props to sean with those quick reflexes

Lemos' corner saying Zhang is out of energy because of wrestling is bizarre. Zhang is a cardio beast.

5

Holy shit Bruce usually has great jackets but tonight's is on another level.

Goddard gave Aljo a lot of chances and it just kept getting worse. Good stoppage.

AND NEW!!

5

I agree but I disagree, if it is a championship fight you leave it to the death, Chandler vs Oliveira style.

2

i dont like it when a fighter's comprimised like that.. takes away from the fight

5

Amanda Lemos lost but my babes Karine Silva and Natalia Silva won so I'm happy.

See yall next week!!

4

I don't think either one has UFC level defense.

I see knockout losses in their future if they face tougher competition.

2
lemmy.world

Damn Weili is badass. Maybe Lemos took the 4th, but otherwise just an absolute clinic by the champ.

4

Not even the 4th, but her getting to the final bell is crazy

5
kbin.social

Is there a reason Zhang refused to shoot for so long?

4
kbin.social

That coach screaming in the corner is like the coaching equivalent of Eddie's wife

4

first card on a nice saturday afternoon i've gotten the chance to enjoy.. work is a bitch man

Blue shorts, red corner - Gibson

Red shorts, blue corner - Katona.

I bet cards are gonna get messed up.

Yeah this fight has been a bit frustrating to watch.

Lee has to get in Silva's face if she wants any results. Silvas just picking her apart at this range.

Edit: I don't mean to just parrot the commentators, just want to see a fun fight

4

Blackshear's twister was pretty cool to watch just now. Setting all kinds of records.

3
kbin.social

Natalia Silva is a little spitfire. Constant feints, pivots, and stance switches. KGB is getting pieced up.

3

Yeah not unreasonable.

I valued it highly that Katona snapped his head back cleanly a couple of times, but Gibson surely had more volume in R1.

2

People who willingly listen to this kind of country hip-hop should be held as enemy combatants in Guantanamo Bay

3

lol Did anyone else just catch Anik say "we have to show Weidman's walkout on television"? Perhaps the disrespect he's talking about is real.

3

I feel like sometimes Chito waits for the perfect shot instead of just taking a good one.

And I think it hurts him.

3

Wow he really sounded like a dick there, would be funny if Magny just wrestlefucks him now.

Edit: But dude does he look huge.

3

It didn't seem to affect Zhang a lot since she kept the gnp going.

But I respect your opinion, I might just as well be wrong here.

Did you see all that blood squirting out onto Katona's back at the end? Gibson was spewing blood from that eye

3
lemmy.world

What's the reason people don't like aljo?

Edit: Other than the Boston / NY rivalry.

2

Dissapointing mistake by Aljo for such a technical fighter. I still think he's the better fighter and would take it in a rematch, but what a punch by O'Malley

2

I don't necessarily agree with it, but I guess they looked who had the best single moments in the rounds and one could argue Chito had more of those.

3

I thought Vera won the fight but lost the second round. Not sure what the judges saw.

feddit.de

Some weird way I want him to fight Rockhold again in some fashion.

But pls not bareknuckle, maybe submission grappling.

2

Holy shit, what an end of round... Can the black shorts guy win it? I'm rooting for him.

I really don't care about this fight, I'm sorry, I didn't follow MMA from 2015 to 2018 so these guys built themselves up while I was away.

I'll usually cheer against the guy that looks too pos-modern so I'm aljoing this fight... Not with much care

Pretty sure it will be quick work for him but it would be fun to see a big upset
