Makdessi got robbed.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

I definitely saw it going Makdessi's way, but I'd have to watch again to be sure.

I wish we had an option to mute them and just watch the violence unfold in silence..

munter@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Forcing Izzy to go for the KO. Noice!

munter@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y

...and still he didn't.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Wow, ruthless.

Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Crosbie isn't very good for those here who never watched him in Bellator.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I love this guy Turkalj

busydoinnothin@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

What was up with his little bit during his introduction lol

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

I'm not sure why he does the things he does. But he just Turkaljed again, for my disappointment.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y

Buffer said that Herb Dean stopped the fight… Not exactly

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Jesus, that's ChuTE Boxe, wow.

sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

How is it that Olivia (Female commentator. I probably spelled her name wrong) seems like the only commentator that did more than the most basic preparation for calling the fights? And why does she seem to have a greater depth of knowledge of the game than the others?

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

The whole broadcast team sits down with each of the fighters during fight week behind closed doors and they ask them a bunch of questions so that they can get the info for their commentary. Olivi is just a pro and always does a really good job so she makes the ex-fighters look bad.

sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Heart says Strickland. Mind says Adesanaya.

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

Yep. Unless there's a MMA miracle tonight the belt stays where it is. But that doesn't mean I can't hope.

sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 2y

Damn. I tried to put $20 on Strickland as Buffer was doing the introductions. I was too late.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Wow, Kape has great head movement

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (2 replies)

LOL DC whipped that mic away quick at the end there

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Hahahah DC is getting good at that, did you watch the first fight of the night? The dude swearing at the crowd.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

I missed that one, I'll have to check the vid after

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Holy shit... That's Tafa, amazing.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

I don't wanna see Volkov get flatlined, but I feel like that's what we're about to see

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 2y

Kape is fun to watch, I’ll leave it at that lol

Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

ran through him like nothing.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

This is a distance management fight. Tai can't get his fist in there far enough to connect, he keeps missing by a couple inches.

munter@feddit.de · 1 pts · 2y

Strickland winning would be peak 2023.

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Tai channeling Dustin with the way he keeps pulling his shorts up

EmptyRadar@kbin.social · 1 pts · 2y

Well shit, I didn't expect Volkov by submission. That was a fun fight.
