Smith always looks like he’s dying in there.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
He might actually be, this time. His career anyway.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 5 pts · 3y
Wow, what a fuckin finish
ameisenigel@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
So damn clean, so damn quick. Absolutely beautiful!

Damn thanks for the thread, I would have missed that one for sure if I didn't see it here.
asjkk8@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 3y
Excited to see blanchfield vs tayla santos
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
That's what I want to see. These guys so worried about losing make the game boring.
Great fight, great card.
See yall next time.
I just bought my tickets for Almeida vs Blaydes, I'm gonna be there.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Fuck yeah, hopefully I get to one someday. Enjoy it bro!
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Thanks man!
ugmug@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Glad to see a competitive fight. I thought Max was going to box Zombie up easily.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Zombie took off his gloves
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Oh boy :(
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Max always looks on the verge of exhaustion, then throws a 5 punch combo and dances around you like it's nothing
RobotDrZaius@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Chikadze looks like the first mook the hero beats up in an action movie.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
"Yeah you got some nice moves kid, but you think you're ready to take ME?"
ameisenigel@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Wow, this already looks much more interesting than I thought it would be. Max rocked?!
jscummy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 3y
What an emotional retirement announcement
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
I'm not crying, you're crying. ;{
jscummy@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 3y
I feel like I got more choked up than TKZ himself did. Gotta respect him calling it at the right time though, and what a career/legacy
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Got that one by the skin of his teeth
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Can't choke out a zombie
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
We've seen a lot of great fighters put the gloves down lately. The passing of the old guard, so to speak.
Zombie is a legend. I'm happy I got up to see his last fight.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Zombie looking sharp today
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Indeed, I'm very impressed.
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Korean Zombie fight with Aldo was over 10 years ago. :O
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
That's crazy to think about
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
What a disappointing R3
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Yea, don't know how to score it.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
I fuckin love the Zombie
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Smith needs to pour it on now, he's become way too defensive
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
I'm up early enough for the main and co main, nice.
munter@feddit.de · 3 pts · 3y
Hahaha, wtf was that?! Cutting out the audio for cussing after them smashing their heads in? What a fucking sad state of affairs.
BasicallyClean@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Ugh, so early, I don't think I can stay up.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Zombie went out on his shield. Decided to go all in and see what happens.
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
It was beautiful.
jscummy@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 3y
Get ready for a fight with 50 big shots a round and 0 knockdowns
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Chikadze looks REAL tense
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
That's true, Caceres was too unpredictable for him to flow. Great fight.
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
I'm really pulling for Smith to get a win here
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Zombie swinging while he was already asleep
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
That knee was nasty
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Nasty.
Eye not looking good.
lackthought@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
woo 8 am sports!
I'm used to it though since I watch F1
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Holy shit, Fernie is my hero. How can I change my nickname here?
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Yeah he was a beast with the defense, I wish that counted for more in fights like that. Not that he should have won, just deserves acknowledgement.
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
His corner was cringing him with the motivational speech. Amazing display by him tho, I was on the edge of my seat in the last 30 seconds of the fight.
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I just got on Nakamura's hype train. Dude looks solid. Has he ever fought a good grappler?
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
A fight to watch between your fingers.
toastus@feddit.de · 2 pts · 3y
Unfortunately I won't have time to stick around for the whole card but I'll be watching at least the prelims and will look into the thread from time to time if there is any activity in here.

Fights & Pancakes this morning!
YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 3y
Getting spammed with ads for The Nun this early feels wrong
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Chidi has to stop giving up... He was controlling the fight, nasty leg kicks.
ugmug@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Thanks to everyone who showed up bright and early for this one. See you all next time!
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Please Taila, win.
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Am I alone here?
EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
Nope, I got up at 6am (~50min ago) and realized I could still catch it, so here I am.
toastus@feddit.de · 2 pts · 3y
Had to run unfortunately.
Enjoy this one, I hope Zombie doesn't get destroyed.
I mean Max can (and should) win this, but I don't want to see Zombie get Kattar ed.
ugmug@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Not anymore. Just woke up. Looks like a decent morning of fights so far.
Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Dude has the same name I have, I'll have to cheer for him now.
