Wtf was up with Kelleher's hair

munter@feddit.de · 5 pts · 2y

Deserved the loss on this abomination alone

toastus@feddit.de · 6 pts · 2y

Ah fuck, Tony don't keep doing this to yourself.

You did it all, no need to keep going.

westingham@kbin.social · 5 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Holy shit, Emmet hits like a freight train.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

He really does, I didn't even see the overhand, thought he had hit him with a body shot.

westingham@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

49-46 Edwards makes total sense. Fade into obscurity, Colby.

westingham@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Colby's leg looks gross.

westingham@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Colby fighting scared.

westingham@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Okay, let's shut Colby up and call it a night.

DirtyDan@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

That's what I wanted to happen but oof.. brutal

westingham@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Wonderboy super game but Shavkat is too much of a monster.

westingham@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Main card time! Hope Colby gets his jaw broken again. Can't stand that absolute shitpile.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

That was amazing.

ugmug@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

I'm going to be out and about until the main card, so getting this up super early. Fights start in 6.5 hours. Let's get it!

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Woohoo

toastus@feddit.de · 4 pts · 2y

Now he is styling on him.

westingham@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y

Time to retire, Tony. Please.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 2y

Holy fuck

DirtyDan@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

It does my heart good to watch Colby lose.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Buday rib cage makes him look like a refrigerator.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

What a fun fight from the flyweights

DirtyDan@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Who do you guys got for Cody Garbrandt vs. Brian Kelleher? I'm leaning Garbrandt.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

Sad to see the ghost of Garbrandt, hope his chin can survive

munter@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y

Garbrandt should be a tad better, I guess, but my gut says that Kelleher will clip him and Cody's chin will fail.

westingham@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Wonderboy walking out to Wonderboy is amazing.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

No decisions tonight!

westingham@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Derrick Lewis and Manscaped is GENIUS marketing.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

Can't stand colby

DirtyDan@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Thank God he didn't lose to Kelleher looking like that.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y

Jack Black baby

ASaltPepper@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 2y

Rakhmonov ᕙ⁠(⁠⇀⁠‸⁠↼⁠‶⁠)⁠ᕗ

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Why did he accept the ground game? Fucking frustrating.

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

Maybe Colby has Covid, of which he probably denies the existence.

westingham@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

He's a MAGA idiot, or at least roleplaying as one, so being a COVID denier is par for the course.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Ouch, my arm

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Go Lipski!!

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Yes Cody!!!!

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Nice

toastus@feddit.de · 3 pts · 2y

3.30 am

Let's go!

westingham@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

That's easily three rounds for Edwards.

westingham@kbin.social · 3 pts · 2y

Blistering pace to this first round. Love watching flyweights go at it.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Shavkat "Merab" Rakhmonov I'm hating this dude.

toastus@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y

Menifield was losing most of the time, but won all the most important seconds.

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Jesus Christ

Fernando-678@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Do the fucking Mike Tyson Tony!!

toastus@feddit.de · 2 pts · 2y

Haha that corner sounds like it is just what Colby deserves.

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y

Bummed the finish streak is over but that was still a banger

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Shimmy shimmy ya is a sick walkout song

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y

But so is Many Men, fuck...

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y

C'mon Raw Dawg!

YaDong@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 2y

Hate seeing Tony lose :(

westingham@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Colby's such an insufferable Trump dickrider

ooi_vebnq@r.nf · 2 pts · 2y

And here I was, the casual that I am, thinking about skipping this one. Wow, wow, wow! What a savage fight!
