I love derrick Lewis

I'm glad he is up and with it again. Dayum

ran right through him.

Couple of great fights to start the night!

Tony went from "oh his BJJ could match Khabib"

...to lookin' like a blue belt all night long.

Didn't defend or fight that arm triangle for one second.

Tony has landed 100 headbutts against Bobby's fist, bold strategy

yeah 911, I just witnessed a murder

GOOD LORD

I love Lewis lmfao

That sound almost made me feel bad.

It's absolutely unreal the shit that somebody the size of Derrick Lewis pulls off. Flying knees, jumping switchkicks... absolutely terrifying.

Got him with the Jorge masvidal opening.

I was there when Derrick Lewis did this.

THE BLACK BEAST!!

Tony has nothing more to give, really wish he would retire. I’m sad he hasn’t got the best prospects for post-fighting careers though. I don’t think he’s going to be good at commentary with the amount of CTE he’s got now. He won’t be in high demand as a coach because he’s so whacky with his style rather than being a technician. Feels bad man.

Holy shit

Tony trying to get in a slugfest.... from the bottom

Green by sub was not on my bingo card.

I hope Tony retires rather than getting cut and going to some other org for more CTE.

OH MY GOD DERRICK LEWIS

Holy shit Lewis is a savage.

Hey Google, what would "achy breaky heart" look like as a MMA fighter?

Keep an eye out around 11PM ET for the Bellator X Rizin 2 live thread. We’ll give dueling threads a shot tonight and see how it goes.

Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!

This is the opposite of what I wanted to see. Tony is eating a lot of shots.

just don't have Black Beast fight in Texas.

miss weight? straight to jail.

Salvador looks a bit cocky in there for someone who missed weight.

EDIT: and he’s getting cracked left and right

Bummed we lost Thompson vs Pereira, but the main card is still stacked.

And she even Brazil tapped to end it. Cut this bitch. Good riddance Cachoeira.

I thought his eye was bleeding there for a minute.

Tony looked legit incompetent off his back in rd 2.

Why wouldn't he turn his back and post to get up instead of just flailing in bottom guard?

"Better not turn around and post... Can't let the RNC master... Bobby Green... get my back"

Glad Jake got the win.

I hope Lewis and Ferguson bring back some of their old magic but I am not too optimistic.

Good decision. Second round was close-ish, but CJ won the third clearly.

FUCK YES DERRICK LETS GO

Who the hell had Bobby Green by submission in R3? Not me.

"I like to eat steaks and have sex to make weight." -Kevin Holland

That was sad as hell.

He actually landed that flying knee!

Am I alone pulling for Bobby in this one? He's so fun to watch.

Heel went straight into the balls, Rogan is tripping.

What an idiot.

His heel was to the side of the cup. Man fuck this guy.

I can’t say I expected anything like that! Wow! I guess his balls were still hot…

Flying knee from Lewis. I did not pick that.

You hear the roar in there? It's a lot of people for the prelims but the sound in the Delta Center in SLC is shit. It has no sound treatment so it is loud AF. They used to put the decibel level on the screen during Jazz playoff games so I think they intentionally make it loud as hell in there by not using any sound treatment.

Good back and forth between Semelsberger and Medic. Semelsberger starting to look a little Salt Lake City tired after all of this body work by Medic.

Bobby "HHH" Green

HOLY SHIT

kinda crazy how TMNT have been a thing since I was a kid.

I still stand by this being the weirdest matchmaking ever, but alright. Lets see what happens.

ad read right into mentioning one minute left in the round. that shit annoys me so much.

tapped him

Get rekted Salvador

Let's go cucuy!

that was slick.

matchmaker giveaway. you get to book a prelim fight for a Holly Holm headliner at the Apex.

Somebody on the other site posted: The name Miranda Maverick sounds like a patriotic pornstar.

Letsssss fugggingggggg goooooooooooooooo

Hello fellow mma aficionado

that was tight. great win

If you hit Tony in the face you better mean it, or he's just gonna eat it and smile at you

Lost the crowd at "brewskis."

Big pop for Herb

that commercial lol

Chiesa picking at his gloves.

Salvador would be an elite cardio kickboxing coach for women and children

The beast up in dis hoe!

Chiesa seemed like he was starting to take off the tape.

he couldn't have landed a better kick.

May not matter in this fight, but Bonfim is chinny once they start throwing.

EDIT: it didn’t matter

I like to eat steak and have sex to make weight

Fuckin quote of the night contender there

Chiesa did not fight that darce at all. Yikes.

I agree with Din, should be higher than 20%

Buffer wearing what looks like a rusted metal suit.

kopylov landing nearly everything.

Buffer/Chiesa for UFC 300.

took her arm that time.

Fence grabs, attempted eye gouging, glove grabs, trying to pull Maverick's top off multiple times, trying for a Brazilian tap. Cachoeira is such a piece of shit.

That shit was just sad. UFC should be ashamed of themselves

Tony needs a finish if he wants a win here.

They called Karl Malone "The Mailman" because he always delivered.

But it's probably because he has like 11 kids he doesn't take care of.

Tony getting busted up :(

Conor McGregor has a more recent win than Tony.

Live Tony Live!

Green and Ferguson have such different, unique styles. This is a fun fight.

Bobby's head movement is so good

That's 6 losses in a row for Tony.

It's almost as good seeing Miranda win as it is seeing Cachoeira lose.

boys are swingin

Good round

Kinda gross that UFC dangles the betting lines so blatantly these days. I will also never get used to commercials on PPV.

out of all fights... that was one of them.

I want Vergara to sleep him.

Oh Tony why?

I don't want you to die in there every time.

Kevin making it look easy. That darce was locked in quick

It's not only the altitude in Salt Lake. The air quality is abhorrent so I think that plays into it as well.

Flowers and Matthews are going too hard for some welterweights at that altitude. I see gassing in round 2.

"it's very hard to see" - Rogan

some violent swinging tonight.

Wow!!!! Kicked him to the roof!

Let's go my guys.
Got a bit of sleep in and now I am ready to go.

Holy fuck, the power just went out where I live.

FOTN right there. Salvador for performance of the night.

Watching Tony get pieced up like this makes me sad.

Semelsberger looks like he knows where you can get that primo cartel crystal meth.

Please please please please, Tony. No more. Please.

Shades of Shabliy vs Musayev

That was a quick shift of energy from eulogy to fight hype by Anik.

father time is a bastard man

Larkin vs Koreshkov just started for those interested.

I need to add fantasy football commissioner to my resume.

Upcoming cards look pretty good from a headliner perspective.

this fight is weird.

Today I learned I'm a Salvador hater.

Well shit.

Wonderboy in a commerical? Yes please give me more of that

Damn what a clean kick.

10-9 Green.

Fuck there is blood.

Edit: Ok maybe not.

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

Really dug maverick's walk out music, hoping she gets this.

There goes that parlay

Green landing too much.

I hope it's not because of the eye. I think Tony got hit more afterwards.

Hell yeah!

Anyone particularly hyped for one of the prelim fights? Giles v Bonfim sounds like fun but the rest seems like a regular bad Fight Night to me.

I did not see an eyepoke...

This is some unreal shit. Lewis just went beast mode in secs....

The lower the weightclass, the madder I am with weight misses.

Wtf kind of stoppage was that?

Shut up Joe.

Edit: And DC obviously agreeing lol.

OOF

The prices for these PPVs are ridiculous.

I have it 2:1 Vergara, but I am a bit biased, so idk.

Aww yeaaaaa, lfg miranda!

Is Matthews a Bloodborne stan or Berserk?

Ether way pretty cool mark.

McGregor tweeting at Gaethje is just embarrassing imo
