^(Fight card order and start times may be inaccurate.)
Ah fuck, Tony don't keep doing this to yourself.
You did it all, no need to keep going.
Wtf was up with Kelleher's hair
Deserved the loss on this abomination alone
Holy shit, Emmet hits like a freight train.
He really does, I didn't even see the overhand, thought he had hit him with a body shot.
Colby fighting scared.
Okay, let's shut Colby up and call it a night.
That was amazing.
Now he is styling on him.
That's what I wanted to happen but oof.. brutal
Main card time! Hope Colby gets his jaw broken again. Can't stand that absolute shitpile.
49-46 Edwards makes total sense. Fade into obscurity, Colby.
Wonderboy super game but Shavkat is too much of a monster.
Time to retire, Tony. Please.
I'm going to be out and about until the main card, so getting this up super early. Fights start in 6.5 hours. Let's get it!
Woohoo
Holy fuck
Colby's leg looks gross.
What a fun fight from the flyweights
Maybe Colby has Covid, of which he probably denies the existence.
He's a MAGA idiot, or at least roleplaying as one, so being a COVID denier is par for the course.
It does my heart good to watch Colby lose.
Ouch, my arm
Buday rib cage makes him look like a refrigerator.
Wonderboy walking out to Wonderboy is amazing.
No decisions tonight!
Thank God he didn't lose to Kelleher looking like that.
Who do you guys got for Cody Garbrandt vs. Brian Kelleher? I'm leaning Garbrandt.
Sad to see the ghost of Garbrandt, hope his chin can survive
Garbrandt should be a tad better, I guess, but my gut says that Kelleher will clip him and Cody's chin will fail.
Go Lipski!!
Yes Cody!!!!
Nice
3.30 am
Let's go!
Jack Black baby
Blistering pace to this first round. Love watching flyweights go at it.
That's easily three rounds for Edwards.
Rakhmonov ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
Derrick Lewis and Manscaped is GENIUS marketing.
Why did he accept the ground game? Fucking frustrating.
Can't stand colby
Hate seeing Tony lose :(
Colby's such an insufferable Trump dickrider
Shavkat "Merab" Rakhmonov I'm hating this dude.
And here I was, the casual that I am, thinking about skipping this one. Wow, wow, wow! What a savage fight!
Menifield was losing most of the time, but won all the most important seconds.
Bummed the finish streak is over but that was still a banger
Shimmy shimmy ya is a sick walkout song
But so is Many Men, fuck...
Jesus Christ
Do the fucking Mike Tyson Tony!!
Haha that corner sounds like it is just what Colby deserves.
C'mon Raw Dawg!
