This card is insane…

Lightweight champ*/Pound for pound number 3 is an underdog in the main event…

Bantamweight champ/Pound for pound number 7 is in a 50-50 on the undercard.

Pound for pound number 13 is fighting one of the biggest name flashy prospects…

6th ranked lightweight ( in most stacked div) is underdog about a newish contender/prospect

Welterweight 6th vs welterweight 8 in a 50-50

Then 3 or 4 more relevant names in 60-40s….


This is just a fornicating pipe dream on boxing. Remembering that ufc has less divisions, it’s even more impressive really.

Mokaev is crazy!

Can he still become the youngest UFC world champion? Or is he too late.

I am rooting for him tonight, despite being also a fan of DoBronx

Manon Fiorot barely did it due to the last-round takedown, but he isn't ready yet for Shevchenko.

Dariush/Gamrot was a freaking fine technical match, grappling and striking-wise. Benny deserved it.

Bullshit scoring. Yan won that fight. First two rounds were clearly Yan's and even the third going to O'Malley is debateable considering all the takedowns Yan got.

Sean OMalley being boo’d?

I think Yan deserved it.

You can give give them all to Yan tbh.

Crap scores.

They thinking Malley has potential because he’s marketable.

Just listen to his reaction in the post fight interview. He knew he lost that fight. I think he was shocked and surprised he got the decision.

Very.

DC asked him.. and he just listened to the crowd and Said, ‘I didn’t watch it’ lmao. Is that why he said.

[JxhDel.]

I didn't comment on that Yan/O'Malley because I almost lost it after hearing the decision.

Aljamain keeps being lucky as heck.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Islam is favourite?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Khabib looks nervous.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Someone save Buffer from a heart attack!

[Ruthless-RKO]

Well done!

A lot said he didn’t deserve a shot.

Good shot to put him down.

Good submission.

[Ruthless-RKO]

It looked way too easy for him.

[JxhDel.]

YES, AS I PREDICTED.

DAGESTAN GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

[JxhDel.]

It looked way too easy for him.

That's what it's scary for the crop of these caucasian guys.

The way UFC normaly judge yan should of won. But i can give the first and third to omally the way id like to score.

Control time is cool and all but only if your doing damage or working towards somthing.
-first round was close but i think omally landed the crisper shots, but was taken down... but yan did nothing on the ground.
-second both had moments, but yan won that clear.
-third i think omally landed by farrr the most damaging shots, that forced yan to shoot, where he got some control time but really didnt turn it into anything.

I mean, how much control time is 1 decent headkick worth... personaly, a headkick that splits your eye to bits should be worth more than tonnnns of non dammaging control time. you have to use that control to do dammage or wear people down, not just to get points.

[The Asleep Lamps]

Who will be the champion when Conor returns?

I also predicted.

[Ruthless-RKO]

[JxhDel.]

I was rooting for Rountree but I felt Jacoby edged it due to the better precision and the volume.

Genius submission by Tresean Gore after the sprawling.

[JxhDel.]

Calvin Kattar wasn't so much into the action that wanted out and injured his knee and ankle in the process... poor Allen, also.
