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

See you guys next time. shout out to the mods for keeping this going.

[–] westingham@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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

AND NEW!!

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

[–] Cromer@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even 50-44 is kinda wrong, let alone 49-45

Might be the safest

UFC 292: Fuck Yo Leg

[–] westingham@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Lemos looks frustrated in the corner.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

If Zhang doesn't pull a finish out of the hat we see two of the most dominant decisions ever tonight.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

that was dominant

[–] toastus@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

What is that? A 30:24 or something?

Edit: What did my earballs just hear lol?

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

You're psychic!

[–] BingGoose@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I'm most surprised, I'll admit it

[–] RobotDrZaius@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

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.

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

there are levels to this.

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

It's wild to me that O'Malley only weighs 20 lbs more than Zhang and Lemos

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

Lemos needs a finish because there's no way she gets a decision.

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

she's tough as hell.

[–] The_Terrible_Humbaba 4 points 1 year ago

I got 10-9 Sterling; just more active, landed good leg kicks and a couple of body kicks. Faints alone don't mean much.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Disgusting corner, no help at all.

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

GM3 went to the Black Beast school of just stand the fuck up

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

Suga shuttin em up now! #406

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

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

no, I don’t think I will google that injury thank you very much

[–] DirtyDan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

I got 1 and 3 for Tavares.

Round 2 wtf do I know.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I hate this. Whitaker vs Dricus all over again.

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

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

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

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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.

Absolute mullering from Zhang

[–] DirtyDan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Man, I really want Chris Weidman to take this

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm passing out, probably won't be back tonight. Catch you guys later!

Zhang wants to prove something.

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

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

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Referee was very aware of what was happening, great to see that.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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