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

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!

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

ah, the ceremonial victory twerk

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

Damn Perez is thicccc

[–] mcmug@kbin.social 3 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 2 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.

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 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 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.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Couldn't follow it yesterday :(
Just now learning the results.

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

Wow standing arm triangle?!?

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

Here's Ailin Perez's Instagram if you want to... support her career

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

that was slick.

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

that was one sided.

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

Dom is quiet when no nonsense peterson is introduced

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

they are flying through fights tonight

[–] 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.

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

Fights start in 15 min. Let’s go!

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

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

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

T-Wreck'd am I rite?

[–] 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

[–] mcmug@kbin.social 2 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 (1 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.

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

I have that but can't figure out how to move the comment box

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

It should do it automatically. At least it did for me.

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

click on the settings gear wheel. The kbin enhanced section is down at the bottom with various yes/no options.

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

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

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

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

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

whats up mothafuckas

[–] 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

I was hoping to hear the ISH louder

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Hello guys, here we are once again

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago
[–] sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Takedowns like that one at the end of the round shouldn't count for anything.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It should be counted as a light jab.

Two entertaining fights in a row.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 1 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.

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

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

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

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

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

The Iron Turtle is a cool nickname

[–] GeezLouise@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

There are mfs with cauliflower ears and then there are mfs with no nose like JDM. Great fight.

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

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
