UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier - Live Fight Thread

Let's do this every week! Super fun and a great atmosphere in here. I'm not going back to reddit. I was there 12 years, and saw it slip just like I saw digg slip before it. Let's keep this going while we wait for others to see the obvious - once the people who create the best content leave there's no reason to stay there.

Hello, this is Marvin Vettori's brain. I'm not able to answer the phone right now, but please leave a message and I'll get back to you after round five.

thanks for hanging out with me, everyone. had a great time with you all

fun fight

It might be impossible to knockout Vettori.

This is currently the most commented thread ever on kbin. It's a shame that it won't grow from here, with the return of the subreddit soon.

Cruz absolutely creaming himself over Keith Peterson making a mistake, lol.

I'd like to start a petition to replace Cruz with Laura Sanko. I think it'd be nice to get a former female fighter's opinion in there, and she's well spoke and deserves it.

9am, here in Aus, brekky is served, bois.

Fuck I miss hanging with the boyz!!

Historically, no one has EVER beat an ass more than Cannonier at middleweight, and yet somehow Vettori is still here. That dude probably lost 2 or 3 years off his career tonight, though.

Also everyone, please upvote this thread itself so we can get other folks from the fediverse to come over to the thread as well. Thanks.

never seen cannonier cook somebody like this. very impressive.

So happy with how active this thread is too!

Three minutes into the fight, I would have given it to Salikhov. Dalby proved me severely wrong

I think it takes a metal noggin like Vetorri and a relentless ass beating machine like Cannonier to break that record. We might not see it again.

minty bets is still not a real person

Fights like this deserve a real crowd. Apex is played out.

I'm really sorry about your money, @TummyAcheHaver@kbin.social

TIFU guys, as an aside. Went fishing today, was wading in a stream I've never waded before. Took a step and in that exact spot the water was about 3 feet deeper than on either side. Went completely under, cut my legs up and lost my phone. Phone is....not water proof. $300 fishing trip feels bad man.

Guy gave birth and then takes a fight. Badass

Most exciting fight by either fighter. They both want to make a statement.

Mods, lemme get that "Head to head deez nuts" flair.

That was the right call. Good on Keith to fix that.

KO of the year.

Sabatini committing murders out here. Respect to Almeida for refusing to die

Jason Herzog is the real gold standard. He is just a step above the rest.

God damn, absolutely daddied him

ehh after a while it felt like Marvin had nothing for Jared, looked like he was too slow. Corner should've thrown in the towel, he wore the damage well but that could take some time to recover from

Sabatini like your ultra needy ex here, absolutely smothering.

My favorite ref is the ref that gives a warning if it needs a warning and takes a point if it was serious. I think too many refs are hesitant to take a point on things like fence grabs that change the whole position of fight or eye pokes that compromise the fighter for the rest of the fight. I'd like to see more points taken until the behavior decreases across the whole industry

I've heard that damage is a scoring criteria. 4-1 Jared. Marvin is not human.

Slippin' Jimmy.

Refs tonight putting on the clown costume a lot faster than in most fight nights.

Do you think Pat Sabatini and Danny Sabatello hang out?

I did not expect Vettori to survive that round. Very impressive

dom with the clutch commentator curse 😂

Costa looked good. That shoutout to Grasso & Aldana was wholesome as fuck too

Kick his ass, Sea Bass!

Pretty sure their heads touched when dalby drove him into the fence right there. Should we stop the fight, guys?

Love Cannonier fights, Izzy was too smart to trade with him

Incredible that Vettori is still standing. Cannonier was teeing off.

ehh after a while it felt like Marvin had nothing for Jared, looked like he was too slow. Corner should've thrown in the towel, he wore the damage well but that could take some time to recover from

Vettori looks like he just woke up from a nap.

Kinda feels like the mullet is on the wrong dude here...

kbin feels like a Ladder Season reset for Reddit.

Who gets it done tonight, guys? Rocky or Creed?

Tots are cold by the time they get from my oven to my couch. There's no way I'm ordering them from Dominos.

what is the point of TUF when so many of the losers still get contracts lol

At least the judges didn't totally blow it

it's a rare fight where the winner is bleeding from the face and the loser doesn't appear to have a scratch on him

ref after the 199th punch to the face: let's see where he's going with this
ref after the 200th punch to the face: ah shit i guess he got him, okay

Opponent can't stand, better run at him and clinch.

Sabatini gave Almeida the Chimaev treatment.

Love how one ref ended the fight before anything happened, no tap or anything, and now one wanted to see 5 elbows to the head first.

Unless I'm mistaken, McGregor has now passed the deadline where he needed to test in order to fight this year, right? Or was there news of him entering the pool that I missed?

Just saw the Keith Peterson thing, lmao having Dom in the booth was fucking chefs kiss for that. I will never stop enjoying his eternal pettiness.

This is getting stopped. No way Almeida survives another round of that

I mean I'd hope he's looking for a fight

Dom the GOAT at never letting anything go

‘good ref job’

he’s so mad he can’t even talk straight

Cannonier is legitimately kickboxing him up. 2-1 so far. And Jared definitely look to have the better stamina for 5.

I love the "live odds" on screen because they exist to make the fight seem closer. The on-screen graphic was like +180 and -200 or some shit. Draftkings has it at -1300 to +750 lmao

Paul Felder wants to have sex with that elbow. We all know this.

Vettori saw Yoel being a punching bag last night and said he could do better.

What drugs and/or alcohol is making McGregor look like he's always doing a Robert DeNiro impression?

Come on UFC, don't make Dalby have to produce his own obscure octagon trivia.

I'll say it again, if Vetorri does that blast double from across the octagon, you can count on Cannonier landing a knee or uppercut. Gonna get interesting.

Hey hey new MMA

Oh hey, he made it outta the round!

The fact that this dude is the best translator in Portuguese AND Spanish is pretty amazing.

Well, gotta assume between getting dropped in the first and controlled hard in the second, Salikhov needs a finish, right?

keith trying to see a dead body tonight. 👀

That was a great KO, but that could have gone either way. Dude won't survive the top guys until he learns to tuck his chin.

got drunk last night and accidentally bet $10 on Jiminy Cricket here getting a first round win by KO/TKO/DQ. I'll get $290 if he does but uhhhhhh I've already kissed that money goodbye

Flick literally looks like the meth dealer you'd see at the mall. He sells heroin too but hates that shit, only keeps it around to keep his meth business afloat (gets high on his own supply too much)

Wow, the ref really messed up...

The ole Brazilian tap! Love to see it

oh fuck can you imagine if they no contest this fight, too?

What the fuck? This reffing is amusingly bad.

Bondar should be a little more focused on winning the round and a little less on showing off. I know you wanna make a name for yourself as someone other than the guy that had the freak injury, but let's start by winning a fight, maybe?

The corpse of Harrison Ford and that lady from Fleabag. That's what people wanna see, right? Right guys?....

Nice to see fight threads on here already

Translator's getting a challenge here lol

Keith tapped for him lol

holy shit did the slam knock him out?

come on twister!!!

There are too many "fight capitals of the world"

No nonsense lol

mad respect to Vettori for surviving until the decision but he had very little for Cannonier. holy shit

You know this will somehow be a contested decision.

I should have bet him but my momma always told me to never trust a Kyung Ho.

MMA on kbin yessss boyz!

one of the most fucking horrible stoppages ive ever fucking seen

Salikhov starts losing the second he gives up the middle of the octagon. I think that's bad ring craft.

Mullet man beats should-have-a-mullet man

Pop pop pop

Looking forward to these Fediverse fight threads each week now! Fun in here with you nice folks.

Herb Dean is the review official, so obviously no points taken. Lmfao. Of course.

Dude is legitimately terrible.

This card has had some very rough judge/ref work already. Vegas, baby.

Did Sabatini actually try to pick Almeida up like a baby?

This could go either way, Keith is presiding.

Ref let him get a couple extra shots in there at the end.

knocked him dead. crazy finish

That was nothing? His head was a ping pong ball between that elbow and the canvas for 10 shots at least.

great stoppage by Peterson. never any issues with him.

That HAS to be a point. I mean, he had time to pause and consider before he did the stupid thing, regardless of how hard it landed

dude i have tried and i hate this website. get the reddit-stream guy to come fix it. 😭

Why is Peterson so eager to stop the fight RIGHT as there's a tap? I mean he doesn't hesitate to let fighters receive follow up shots until they nearly die, but God forbid someone gets choked two seconds extra? Super bad

Minty Bets.

Cousin of Mookie.

Is this three straight for Dalby now? Maybe he's figuring it all out...

And to be fair, Dan was pulling his head off.

1st event on /m/mma. Let's go booyyyz!

Did Felder just try to interview Flick? Everyone's off their game tonight, man.

In slo-mo, for just a moment, I think you can see Tsarukyan's eyes looking in different directions after that shot.

Let's see if Keith is all nonsense tonight

Insane Tsarukyan took that punch

By Felder's logic, if someone stopped in front of you, looked at you and then purposely poked you in the eye you wouldn't take a point unless he did it hard?

bleda: "i'm going to pin you against the cage/climb on top of you and do absolutely nothing"
fernandes: "yeah sounds good, I'll let you do that and also not do anything, either"

do either of these broads want to win the fight???

That was one fast elbow knock out!

the only good thing about this duluth trading company loch ness monster ad is that it's not their standard "HEY THIS SHIT FEELS SO GOOD ON YOUR BALLS AND ASS, BROTHER" shtick

That right there is the look of a broken man.

It'll go down as the best KO that wasn't.

Dom about to get asked nicely to no longer be on the broadcast team

Vettori's cheek is literally hanging open

That's a clash of heads, but the knee isn't a deduction, huh?

Well...this doesn't look good

Knee to the head, FINE. Slightest clash of heads from a legal throw NOT ALLOWED. Pathetic.

Let's go guys! Thanks for setting this up (obligatory fuck reddit)

Book it. Pantoja is gonna finish Moreno

Anyone know how to bring the comment box to under the post, like at reddit?

yikes bad foul

Ref? He was already out on the slam.

bloody mess

Duncan went full ricky bobby right there and spun himself into a takedown.

No wonder Adesanya danced around and avoided Cannonier for 5 rounds.

damn I fell asleep and missed the main event

being an old-timer east coaster sucks with these 10pm cards

Go flick! Use your meth strength!!!

he's gotten cracked

Keith ~~no ~~ nonsense Peterson

Charli Arnault looks like she's spent five minutes wrestling with candy wrapper curtains.

can't be doing that bro, next time just kick him in the nuts since you get multiple warnings for those

I feel like the UFC is getting super watered down. Tons of no name fighters so they don't have to pay them much, and WAY too many people with 5-0 or 6-0 jumping in here. I remember when it used to be that if you saw a person at 5-0 in the octagon, you were like "Oh my God, they must be amazing."

Late to the party, sounds like Vettori got worked the first two rounds?

Crikey, it's the Aussie outback!

Hernandez is going to be PISSED about that point when the judges blow this and give it 2-1 to Bondar in a split.

Nice survival instinct by Salikhov. Instant takedown.

Brazilian tap?

I think this will be a banger

Absolutely nasty elbow

UFC 290 looking good

You guys remember when Heavy Cannonier carried that little bag around with him like he was keeping the souls of his KO'ed victims in there?

Honestly, Jackson must actually be pretty good, since he beat Sabatini and I think he only has losses to Topuria and Dan Ige in the UFC

unless Almeida can pull a rabbit out of his ass, he's fucked

HOLY SHIT!

Thanks Toyo

nasty leg kicks

No Nonsense Keith had too much alcohol and cigarettes

There are levels to this, folks. I thought Sabatini might get caught on an obvious entry, but instead he just absolutely embarrassed this guy. Good for him.

you can almost count in Costa's leg kick timing

Bleda just throwing punches but hitting air.

worst translator in awhile?

two guys standing a just inside typical kicking distance....someone's taking a shot to the nuts, folks.

Keith just HAD to have a smoke

This is amazing

RIP, I jinxef him

Sucks they both just get half their pay now…

Well, that was a fight... of some sort.

GOAT translator back at it!

El Loco all the way

Imagine coming to on a stool being hugged by the guy you were just KO'd by lmao

that guy was out after the throw. that wasn't a head clash. and those elbows didn't need to happen. holy shit.

Rushes in and gets caught, then just opens his neck up for the taking. Bad 30 seconds, that! :')

these mango cherry popsicles are low key amazing. Sorry my children, dad's got a taste for your frozen treats now.

I swear I'd spend all my time learning to frame up, dig an underhook and turn my opponent if I had come into mma from a striking base. Become an expert in that? You're gonna go a long way.

The ref should pay them himself out of his own pocket. Wasted time and lost money. Awful from the ref.

masterclass in "control time but doing nothing with it"

These refs are atrocious

Holy shit

Kang just absolutely donged him right there.

Kind of a low skill fight but sloppy and fun.

Holy shit, that was incredibly brutal! My goodness!

I think Cannonier might have blown his load. He threw a LOT of punches there. Vettori might win this fight just by being too damned durable.

for some reason I still think Vettori has a chance at a knockout here. i'm the dumbest man alive so don't go by me but it only takes one punch

Flyweight one of my favorite divisions, always high energy

KAAAAAAAAAAANG

https://giphy.com/gifs/vintage-wwe-perfect-KCEB0pLlqLqo0

I can't unsee Bleda's face.

If she did a face swap with Stefan Struve they'd look like the same person

Costa's combinations are very satisfying.

surprised that head kick didn't put him down.

Bet the house on Silva!

Flick seems to be fighting like he has no training at all. He looks lost to me

Smoothest leg catch takedown I've ever seen.

Bondar? More like Bored-ar. Dude needs to get his head in the game and focus

society if pete davison never got famous

futuristic-dome-city.jpg

time for more meat to the grist mill. ufc is lacking in good free agent signing, but most do come in late year

strangely lopsided co-main event from a betting odds standpoint. -1050 to 700?

Lets go!

Missed the knee, went to get a drink literally before it happened...

I think Sabatini is getting slept here.

Hernandez is giving me some strong create a fighter vibes

If they gave it to Bondar right there, I would have laughed my ass off.

that was like a right hook elbow, he put his entire weight into it. Brutal

that leg is dead

That dude is wrecked

I'm in Aus. It's near 4pm in Vegas. What time does the prelims start?

Lmao. That was terrible.

Watch them go to the score cards and he loses.

Dalby fighting like a guy mashing buttons in super smash brothers

holy shit what a hellbow

Duncan likes to fuck around. Only time will tell if he finds out.

Wow was that really late on the stoppage

WOW!

A+ shadowboxing effort

Gotta learn to defend takedowns against the cage. It's something you have to be able to do, plain and simple. Get in the gym, learn to dig underhooks and turn people and separate.

GOAT Translator is back!

Headed to the cupboard. Time to get out the tequila and do a shot every time Brendan Fitzgerald talks about someone having a dance partner. Glad I'm not working tomorrow

i honestly don't know who won that round

there are only like a handful of rules you need to keep in mind here. not kneeing a guy on the ground in the fucking head seems like a rather obvious

The Hitman

Here we go!

If I have to watch this light bondage t mobile commercial one more time....it might stir something in me

Paul Felder, using six hundred words to ask a simple question. The translator's wife is screaming at the screen at home.

Damn Keith usually on it. That was bad. I wonder how tight that choke was.

haven't seen two guys fight like this since we were in high school and the winner got to kiss the girl

Sick this is great. Thanks for making a fight thread @sirvalkyerie can i give you a markdown table of the card to put in the thread description for reference?

Dalby looks a little overconfident. If he wades in there with his face out he's gonna get slept.

Wow, they're no contest this, aren't they.

How many times out of 10 do you think Damon Jackson wins that Sabatini fight?

Jesus, that was crazy!

The fact that they don't advertise them as going to fight tells you everything you need to know. McGregor doesn't want any part of that fight.

He's trying to pull his head off . He did tap. Keith side angle seemed to show he did a tap.

Wow, I guess we're doing assumed will taps now.

Can’t fucking stand this commercial for Cleveland lol

Eyes were completely closed. Clown moment for this ref.

Jesus, Baukauskus has a set of quads on him.

Jfc that was so many hard elbows

wouldn't it be a No Contest if a foul led to the knockout? Why is it going to the judges, I remember bobby green's situation ended up being a NC

me at the start of round 2: silva is fucked. he's never been more fucked than he is right now
me, during the last two minutes of the fight: oh shit is he actually doing something here?

lets goooooo

Manuel "No me puedes veer" torres

Impressively dumb move.

See, I would call the fight there and then. Flick is only going get smashed from there.

Motta has hands!

great finish

what the FUCK just happened

Damn, great finish

brutal finish

Chiesa keeps calling him Joe-wah-keen Silva, I have never in my life heard "Joaquim" pronounced that way.

Is that some kind of Brazillian/Portuguese pronounciation?

Holy elbows...

holy SHIT

The skill level here is... a lil rough.

He pulled his hand from Keith... oh man that's bad. Didn't see that live.

Leeeeeroooooooyyy Dunnnncaaaaaaaannnnnnn!

Long limbs = best base for mma

Vetorri better not try a blast double from the other side of the octagon like he sometimes does. Cannonier will end that man's career with a knee or uppercut.

holy SHIT

Wow that sucks for Arguetta so bad.... Damn, half pay bc of that....

A LOT of dance talk tonight...

that was a little late

is that legal?

Let's gooooooo!
First post-reddit MMA thread!

Just got home. Did I miss anything cool

I have this on the card as "only chance at a leglock tonight." Let's see what happens

Pat Sabatini exposed Lucas ground game pretty bad.

dalby literally punching air

Good NIGHT

Oh sheeeeittt that was rough

twister incoming?

I think the narrative that some refs are bad is just kinda based on whatever happened most recently. I remember when it was Big john is the best in the business and herb dean was a screw up depending on the day. Now it seems like Herb gets the prestige, though I don't think he's calling the fights any better than he ever did.

felder. they were necessary cause the ref didn't stop it. all on the ref. 😭

Wow, that replay shows the ref looking on like he's trying to guess what Hernandez is making out of Bondar's face.
