UFC 292: Fuck Yo Leg
I'm passing out, probably won't be back tonight. Catch you guys later!
Sleep is important, treat yourself nicely my dude.
Till the next one.
You are a warrior, thanks for answering my DM.
288 to 21 strikes against potentially the hardest hitter in the division. That's a statement and a half.
All jokes aside I don't think the striking ratio is a good representation of the fight.
I get you.
But be prepared that the UFC will milk that number as much as they can, it fits the story they want to tell.
See you guys next time. shout out to the mods for keeping this going.
a leg kick kinda night
Garry not winning any personality contests, but that was about as dominant as a decision win gets. I guess all we really learned is his defensive wrestling is solid, though.
Towel?
Might be the safest
Garry looks legit.
Lemos looks frustrated in the corner.
So I definitely doubted Suga for a long time, up until the Yan fight.
And I do think that Suga lost that fight against Yan.
But damn, that guy definitely proved me wrong all the way. Great fight, flash finish.
I'm most surprised, I'll admit it
I’m on vacation with the family so I can’t watch live. Hope everyone is enjoying the fights. I’ll be back for 293.
Enjoy your vacation.
Till next time.
Your participation is always great, you will be missed.
i dont like it when a fighter's comprimised like that.. takes away from the fight
HOLY FUCK a 30-24 score
that's still unfair.. 3 8's? im pretty sure magny hit him
Maybe once or twice.
good fight.. bummed aljo didnt keep it but props to sean with those quick reflexes
The improvements to Zhang's ground game in the last two years is astounding.
"great composer from the champ" that tweet lol
That was a bad stoppage but okay, whatever
If anything the stoppage should have been earlier, but he was beginning to defend himself
that was dominant
If Zhang doesn't pull a finish out of the hat we see two of the most dominant decisions ever tonight.
What is that? A 30:24 or something?
Edit: What did my earballs just hear lol?
You're psychic!
oof shin to taint connection
nahhh ian can't be talking.. couldnt finish a one-legged magny
Holy shit Bruce usually has great jackets but tonight's is on another level.
Yeah I thought so too, he turned it up a notch for this one
An absolute clinic.
This fight. This fucking fight.
I would have let Aljo continue a little longer but that shouldn't lessen the fact that Sean hit that one beautifully.
Referee was very aware of what was happening, great to see that.
Could y'all imagine O’Malley sleeping him? doubt it but it would be wild
Aged like fine wine..
Dude...
Lemos' corner saying Zhang is out of energy because of wrestling is bizarre. Zhang is a cardio beast.
She does seem slower rn, though..
Even 50-44 is kinda wrong, let alone 49-45
Or you get weird like me and go 49:44 with the 1st and the 5th as 10:8s.
there are levels to this.
Goddard gave Aljo a lot of chances and it just kept getting worse. Good stoppage.
AND NEW!!
I agree but I disagree, if it is a championship fight you leave it to the death, Chandler vs Oliveira style.
on the button
Damn Weili is badass. Maybe Lemos took the 4th, but otherwise just an absolute clinic by the champ.
Not even the 4th, but her getting to the final bell is crazy
Awesome night, wondering who will be getting the bonus'
Disgusting corner, no help at all.
first card on a nice saturday afternoon i've gotten the chance to enjoy.. work is a bitch man
Yeah this fight has been a bit frustrating to watch.
Lee has to get in Silva's face if she wants any results. Silvas just picking her apart at this range.
Edit: I don't mean to just parrot the commentators, just want to see a fun fight
Every time she tried she took a big punch to the face, a bit discouraging.
Big Power Slap fan. First time watching mma.
GM3 went to the Black Beast school of just stand the fuck up
what a slobberknocker
let ‘em both back in the ufc
I don't think either one has UFC level defense.
I see knockout losses in their future if they face tougher competition.
That coach screaming in the corner is like the coaching equivalent of Eddie's wife
EEEEDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE
Haha yeah lol.
Blue shorts, red corner - Gibson
Red shorts, blue corner - Katona.
I bet cards are gonna get messed up.
Wait what?
Isn't Katona blue shorts?
Edit: At least Anik calls them like that.
The Brazilian commentators too.
that was slick.
I was about to write literally that exact same sentense word for word.
dickus kickus
I got 1 and 3 for Tavares.
Round 2 wtf do I know.
nervous for this fight.
whooo wheee! what a fight!
Oof. Maybe an extra elbow or two.
no, I don’t think I will google that injury thank you very much
Let's gooooooo Chris.
Good luck bro, don't snap it again!
Man, I really want Chris Weidman to take this
Suga shuttin em up now! #406
I hate this. Whitaker vs Dricus all over again.
i agree with bautista but idk about 30-27..
Lemos needs a finish because there's no way she gets a decision.
that was just a tad bit one sided if you ask me.
she's tough as hell.
Wow what a first round! Zhang is a monster.
Is there a reason Zhang refused to shoot for so long?
I honestly believe pride and showwomanship.
Amanda Lemos lost but my babes Karine Silva and Natalia Silva won so I'm happy.
See yall next week!!
HOLY SHIT.
You don't have to be a fan, but booing? I don't know. I just don't like it.
Zhang wants to prove something.
I think it's stupid and she should just shoot.
Edit: Welp, that wasn't even 10s.
Never expected this at all when he was on the come up.
Absolute mullering from Zhang
And still!
It's wild to me that O'Malley only weighs 20 lbs more than Zhang and Lemos
Knee to the spine unpunished??
Bad camera angle, not 100% sure.
that's what i thought too
Blackshear's twister was pretty cool to watch just now. Setting all kinds of records.
that was loud as hell.
nasty elbows
bruce should have saved that suit for xmas.
I got it 3:0 for blue, but every round was close enough to not feel safe.
I thought the first round went to Gibson.
Yeah not unreasonable.
I valued it highly that Katona snapped his head back cleanly a couple of times, but Gibson surely had more volume in R1.
Lemos seemed dangerous in the standup.
I don't think Zhang will give her many more chances to be.
Tavares killing the front leg.
I feel like sometimes Chito waits for the perfect shot instead of just taking a good one.
And I think it hurts him.
The Tyron Woodley gameplan.
Wow he really sounded like a dick there, would be funny if Magny just wrestlefucks him now.
Edit: But dude does he look huge.
The Lemos corner is grasping at straws.
What should they do?
Red guy landed more but I still give it to blue guy for the really clean hits.
How do you score that round?
HOLY FUCK!!!
center of the cage. I like it.
why did you tap......
I don't think she realized there was only a second
I may have brazilian bias but I scored 46-49 Lemos.
Absolute robbery. Lemos dominated.
I won't argue that.
Let's see if the gate stays kept.
bloody mess
10:8
Nah, that submission attempt leveled things enough
It didn't seem to affect Zhang a lot since she kept the gnp going.
But I respect your opinion, I might just as well be wrong here.
it's been an odd night of fights.
Robocop transcended against Chidi, he won't lose except for lucky shots.
lol Did anyone else just catch Anik say "we have to show Weidman's walkout on television"? Perhaps the disrespect he's talking about is real.
Natalia Silva is a little spitfire. Constant feints, pivots, and stance switches. KGB is getting pieced up.
And the thighs...
Living up to that Brazilian shape for sure
Lemos sure can take a beating
The fights were a little weird but we were there to watch em anyway.
Have a nice one.
Fights start in half an hour. Let’s go!
Let's go AMANDA!!!!
Bruce Lee estate says that Andrea can no longer use her last name after that performance.
So sad the result of that Maycee Barber fight. I had no doubt she had won that...
holy frick, hellbows put him to sleep
Petroski fading
I'm not seeing the hype.
People who willingly listen to this kind of country hip-hop should be held as enemy combatants in Guantanamo Bay
I have it 20-18 Munhoz
That eye isn't looking good... kinda gray.
Did you see all that blood squirting out onto Katona's back at the end? Gibson was spewing blood from that eye
Jesus Christ
That fight is like EA UFC, no defense.
I kinda don't like it.
2-1 Munhoz?
nate diaz still active?
I think it's kind of crazy that Munhoz might get called the winner here.
DC being a twat about children fighting and Rogan obviously agrees immediately.
Wow, Lemos has to be gassed after that submission attempt
I guess that's fair.
1 min 30 into the fight with no damage they talk about Chito needing a comeback.
A bit like WMMA. No one with the finishing power (anymore).
Damn that nun shit is scary af at 3am in the dark.
3am?? Where are you in the globe?
Oh my, Karine is amazing, I'm loving to watch her fights.
that was a round.
What's the reason people don't like aljo?
Edit: Other than the Boston / NY rivalry.
Been this way since the first Yan fight. People still think he was faking.
He got kneed to championship. I like him tho, not too much.
I like Chris Weidman.
Some weird way I want him to fight Rockhold again in some fashion.
But pls not bareknuckle, maybe submission grappling.
Hahahah Weidman vs Rockhold bareknuckle, I'd pay to see that.
BKFC would actually be the way to go for Weidman, no kicks to worry about.
Lmao wtf is this judging?
I thought Vera won the fight but lost the second round. Not sure what the judges saw.
I don't necessarily agree with it, but I guess they looked who had the best single moments in the rounds and one could argue Chito had more of those.
I have the brazilian bias, but atleast one round to Munhoz, right?
They should throw us a curve ball and make this a power slap fight.
that was a close fight
Maybe Munhoz won a sporting contest, but he did not win a fight tonight.
I think that is fair
Let's see if the Chris still has it.
nice round
Dissapointing mistake by Aljo for such a technical fighter. I still think he's the better fighter and would take it in a rematch, but what a punch by O'Malley
ugh, I have been up since 3 AM I am on the struggle bus right now.
I think both of them are used to being the smarter fighter in there and now it's not so clear.
Let's go 5 rounds foot stomp to backpack lol.
Both of those guys would destroy the TUF guys from earlier.
Let's go my guys.
My guests are finally going to sleep. Time for some fights.
Woo-hoo!!!
Kinda looked legal, but couldn't really see from that angle.
Was R1 close enough for maybe a SD or does mermaid need the finish?
Wait so can I share links here for the stream I'm watching or nah?
Fuck it, let's see if the mods leave this comment up. This is Lemmy y'all. This sub is not big enough to be worth policing like that.
Also fair warning, this shit is not the best quality. But it's working at least.
Holy shit, what an end of round... Can the black shorts guy win it? I'm rooting for him.
GM3*
Don't know if he won it, but I still like round one for the meerkat.
I really don't care about this fight, I'm sorry, I didn't follow MMA from 2015 to 2018 so these guys built themselves up while I was away.
I'll usually cheer against the guy that looks too pos-modern so I'm aljoing this fight... Not with much care
Pretty sure it will be quick work for him but it would be fun to see a big upset
My emotional is too weak for this kind of reasoning. Hahahah
