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

nahhh ian can't be talking.. couldnt finish a one-legged magny

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

5

The improvements to Zhang's ground game in the last two years is astounding.

5
kbin.social

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

5
kbin.social

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

5
kbin.social

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

Zhang wants to prove something.

I think it's stupid and she should just shoot.

Edit: Welp, that wasn't even 10s.

4

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.

lemmy.world

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

So sad the result of that Maycee Barber fight. I had no doubt she had won that...

2
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.

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

But pls not bareknuckle, maybe submission grappling.

2

BKFC would actually be the way to go for Weidman, no kicks to worry about.

1

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

1

Wait so can I share links here for the stream I'm watching or nah?

Fuck it, let's see if the mods leave this comment up. This is Lemmy y'all. This sub is not big enough to be worth policing like that.

Also fair warning, this shit is not the best quality. But it's working at least.

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
