I can't wait for Cheeto to take off the first 3-4 rounds.

Jumping Gi is still the dumbest thing experienced fighters do regularly

ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

DP is next level with them tonight. He must hit guillotines nonstop in the gym.

I was only casually watching the Yan fight. Was that a good decision? Every time I looked, Song was winning.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Yeah that was definitely the right decision. There was a little back and forth but Yan was the dominant fighter overall.

BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

It was all part of the plan.

Exhibit 0 fight IQ for the entire fight, land an uppercut, win.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Wohoo let the carnage begin. Starting with two babes just scrambling one out, that's the way I like it.

BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Steve Mazzagatti approved of that stoppage

ugmug@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Fights start in 2.5 hours. I'll try to get the finishes up if the bot is drunk. Let's go!

ya_dong@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Coach: no guillotine. Dustin 1min later jumping guillotine

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Damn, that knee was absolutely perfect

BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Petr's dramatically slowing

ugmug@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

On the last Embedded it looked like Chito used the side of the portable dressing room to shed that last pound at weigh ins. For that reason I hope he gets KOed.

BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

If he takes 3-4 rounds off like he does in every other fight he's gonna lose again.

BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

TnT walkout

Always a classic

This main card is pretty stacked. I’m looking forward to all of these fights!

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Yeah this is almost a better card than 300

ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

I like this main event better than 300 for sure.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Drinking game: take a shot every time Dustin pulls his shorts up

ugmug@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Anyone who plays this will be dead from alcohol poisoning before the end of the first round.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Damn, Robelis Despaigne showed out

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Dos Anjos is still fast as hell for his age. Let's see if he pulls this one off.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

I just hope Blaydes walks out to the Mortal Kombat theme still

BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

It was a good night of fights!

ya_dong@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Its Chito's time to be champ!

ASaltPepper@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 2y

This card is delivering. That finish from Maddalena was 👌👌

Fizz@lemmy.nz · 1 pts · 2y

I had money on MVP and it was so hard to watch. He kept falling down and getting himself in bad positions.

ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Crazy pace. I doubt either guy can maintain it for multiple rounds.

ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Nervous for Dustin, but he’s a gritty bastard. Hope he can do the damn thing.

ya_dong@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Dustin you fucking cunt you better show up to fight I got $30 on your lazy hotsauce selling ass

ASaltPepper@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 2y

Gotta give first round to MVP, but man he plays it close.
