Thanks everyone for coming out!
These next few events will be much better cards! See you then!

Hi everybody!
dres@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Welcome!
ugmug@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Yo! Any fights you are particularly interested in today?
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
I love Muradov. I scouted him for betting reasons just prior to his UFC debut. His ceiling is incredibly high.
ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
I’ll have to peep some of his highlights.
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 5 pts · 3y
Well, that was quick. Aspinall is going to get some real competition his next fight out. Good job.
RobotDrZaius@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y
Right back into the mix, probably 1 good win from a title shot honestly. Though who knows how the title picture will look since Jones may retire after the Stipe defense.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I had no issue with the stoppage but absolutely 0 of those G&P punches landed.
Either stop it on the knockdown or wait until at least ONE lands. You're not really giving the other guy a chance.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Damn that staredown was intense
GeezLouise@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 3y
Looks like Bruce kinda liked it!
FlybyNight@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
He got squeezed out.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
A clear, obvious headbutt.
No points taken.
I hate the apathy from the refs in this fucking sport. It's so unprofessional.
FlybyNight@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
That's a DQ headbutt in my book.
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
swinging for the fences.
lackthought@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
holy shit
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Stoliarenko:
Many have tried
Only half succeeded
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
that was crazy
ugmug@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Looked like they were fighting under water at the end.
RobotDrZaius@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Good idea Bisping, let's hear some more of your half-baked political takes while on commentary.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Fili's back tat looks like it's been unfinished for the last 10 years
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
might be an issue with his left hand, but he keeps landing the right.
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y
He's doing good for fighting with one arm.
ugmug@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Thanks everyone for participating. Glad to see some familiar usernames along with some new ones. Hope to see you all around the magazine regularly.
RobotDrZaius@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
NGL I thought Craig was going to wilt at this weight. Amazing performance. I loved that sub escape to pass maneuver.
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 3y
"...not used to fighting in front of the sold out arena" Camera pans and about 10% of the seats, at most, are filled.
BingGoose@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
So unimpressed by Vieira. Almost the entire fight in control time and nothing to show for it
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Damn this Wood v Fili fight is awesome
dres@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Duncan is definitely aware of the injury in the third. Ashmouz is losing steam.
dres@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Boxcar Barbarena
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
a literal slobber knocker.
dres@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Good scrap between Bannon and Brasil! I like when some kickboxers forget wrestling is a thing and just wing kicks upside each other's heads with no worries of being taken down.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Muradov has sky high potential
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Duncan looked good. Ashmouz was tough fighting with one hand.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Damn, Culibao damn near finished here in the 3rd
jscummy@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y
Culibao looked like he almost had a chance to finish in the first
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Hot Chocolate got cooked
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
dickus kickus
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
fights and an IndyCar race. Not a bad Saturday.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Muradov's ability to get in and out, land precision strikes, and now with his improved ability to get takedowns makes him so dangerous.
RobotDrZaius@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Has there been a resurgence of Ric Flair Woo's?
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Glad they got that decision right.
MEATBALL time
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
and now he got the back. wow
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Question for next week. Are the mods going to make multiple threads for UFC, Bellator and Rizin, or you just going to make one for the night? There will be some slight overlap with Bellator.
ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Good question. I don’t know if we have a large enough community support two live threads. I’ll talk with the others and see what they think.
lackthought@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
love the earlier start times, and we're right into the fights!
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
29-28 Wood I think
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
Yeah, that's what I have it at as well.
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Tell you right now. Blue Beetle ain't beating Fedor.
dres@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
This event is chugging right along. Not a long wait between the fights.
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y
Very un-UFC like.
dres@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Alvarez has those skinny Jon Jones legs.
SkinOfAnOrange@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Love not having to go to sleep at 3-5am!
bender@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 3y
Feel bad for Diakiese, rough way to lose
dres@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Early fights with the boiiisss! Liking the commentary team. Gooden and Bisping are great. Felder is....there too.
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
I've never been a fan of Bisping. From back when he was gifted the homer decision against Hamill. I should get over it.
dres@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I didn't like him until after he had retired and started his podcast. He was a real cunt in his fighting days.
ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Similar arc for me also. He’s much more likable now.
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y
Pogues looks like he skips leg day too often.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Glad the ol bearjew won that one.
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Are your arts mixed martialed?
RobotDrZaius@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Good HW scrap so far. Fairly rudimentary striking but actually pretty disciplined for big boys.
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
that was tight
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
that was a fun scrap
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
GAWD DAMN SON
ugmug@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Glad to see Aspinall back in the win column. I think he’s the UFC HW that can give Jon Jones the toughest fight.
jscummy@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y
Made that look too easy. Tybura might as well have been moving in slow motion
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I remember when Faber broke both of his hands against Mike Brown.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I still can't get over Grant getting robbed
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
I was surprised as I thought they got it right, while I figured it would go the other way because of the homer factor. It was close either way. Definitely not a robbery.

BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Worse nickname, "Beastin 25/8" or "Black Country Banger" ?
ugmug@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Flip a coin
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Molly still looks lost on the ground.
Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
can we have live threads for slamball? /s
ugmug@kbin.social · 0 pts · 3y
Fights start in a half an hour. Let’s go!
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 0 pts · 3y
I don't think I know any of these fighters...which usually guarantees a bunch of good fights!
ugmug@kbin.social · 0 pts · 3y
The cards that are the most boring on paper usually turn out great. I’m excited for the return of Aspinall.
sin_free_for_00_days@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y
Just went down a little youtube rabbit hole on Aspinall. Dude's good and well rounded. He seems to keep his chin up a bit for my liking, but he's so quick he makes it work.
