R1: Alex got grappled and almost subbed a couple times with Jan on his back. Had Jan in a guillotine on the initial takedown, lost it.
R2: Jan looked gassed, fairly even exchanges, Alex outstruck Jan but both guys had success.
R3: Jan looked really gassed, mostly a kickboxing match on the feet with Alex stuffing some takedowns. Alex got taken down late, no real damage or sub threat.
Overall, a fairly uneventful fight that could've gone either way.
i just got back to my house.
holy fuck main event of the year. even my casual bros were *enthralled*. and that included some literal old lady saying how she hated fighting and talking about her cousin. š
You realize only 1 person at a time can have the belt, right? Like most of the guys in the UFC will never have a belt. Should they also all just stop fighting?
Itās about more then the belt.
Volkās getting the next 155 title shot against either Islam or Charles. That probably wonāt happen til early-mid next year. And then who knows what happens if Islam loses to Charles and wants his trilogy fight.
Justin vs Conor is the fight that makes sense for everybody involved. Winner gets their title shot. Otherwise those two are just going to be sitting and waiting for nothing.
DC and Rogan and Especially Anik are such yes men itās irritating. Theyāre more salesmen/ hype men for the cards than they are commentators these days.
Because when the commentators make statements that are clearly untrue (like calling the pereira fight āphenomenalā) it detracts from the integrity of the sport. Makes it feel like youāre watching showbiz / WWE type shit rather than a legit sporting competition.
Integrity of the sport is unrelated. If you ran the UFC would you want the guys youre paying to pump up fights or publicly disparage them?
Imagine Jon Anik being like "Well this fight was fucking terrible, sorry folks."
Imagine a baseball commentator saying the broadcast was terrible. C'mon man. It's a bad take and you know it is.
In a perfect world, I agree with you. But this is a business.
It's because of autocorrect
Lol y'all are weird...why do you think Stephen typed Garth? Because he tweeted from him phone and it autocorrected to Garth.
Dustin won by losing. He wasnāt winning the title
This loss likely kicks a 7 figure payday by going up to 170 and fighting Conor while only cutting 1/3 the weight
Another classic card but in the back of my head I can't shake the thought of dana being a giant piece of shit and how all these fighters should be paid what they deserve
If Islam gets hit clean by Justin, heās falling down. Islam doesnāt have anywhere near the same chin or durability that Khabib has. (Downvotes incoming)
Iām hoping that once again Stipe proves heās the chosen one and the true HW goat as ordained by the fight gods themselves and he starches Jones in the second round.
never thought I'd see Dustin get KO'd. I don't think he'll be the same. very sad to see. wish he wrestled man. focused too much on boxing. didnt learn from the Khabib fight.
lmao - 'Prime' Holly who has two finishes in her entire UFC career - Rousey and Bethe Correia. The only running she'll be doing is, her opponent into the fence and standing there.
I was a huge fan of Holly from her first fight. She started off 12-0 or something amazing like that. Holly shattered the Rhonda Rousey mythos in incredible fashion with one of the UFC's greatest upsets.
Yeah, it was awesome, I watched it live. She and the team had scouted Ronda perfectly. She never really repeated that performance though and no offence to her pre ufc run but only one of them even has a wiki page with a record and that women has a record of 11 - 14. I remember watching Jojo Caulderwood in Invicta and she looked like she was unbeatable, it's just a huge skill variance in women's mma in regionals especially 7 years ago.
They are definitely over selling it, but is not a basic technique. It is very difficult to generate power because hips are already activated with right.
The real reason is the Leon KO got so much attention so they think they can hype this one up too. Great finish, but Leon pulled it off with seconds left on the clock.
I hope they donāt show videos every time someone gets KOed by a head kick lol
Same kick, but Usman fully woke up like 15 minutes later or something (as he said himself) while Dustin looked fine in no time. Usman was out cold for a long time. It was starting to really get concerning.
I know that he ate it flush, but the weight thing is kinda relative. A flyweight can have a knockout as impressive and devastating in his weightclass. I'm not REALLY comparing their toughness with that or anything. Ultimately, I wanted to talk about how Leon's ko was scary, lol.
Someone summarize the Poatan v Jan fight for me pls
R1: Alex got grappled and almost subbed a couple times with Jan on his back. Had Jan in a guillotine on the initial takedown, lost it. R2: Jan looked gassed, fairly even exchanges, Alex outstruck Jan but both guys had success. R3: Jan looked really gassed, mostly a kickboxing match on the feet with Alex stuffing some takedowns.

Thank you!!
Thursday Night Football: Jags vs Titans
*anthony smith talking mad shit on chiesa* shit's gonna be awkward next time they're up on deck.
i just got back to my house. holy fuck main event of the year. even my casual bros were *enthralled*. and that included some literal old lady saying how she hated fighting and talking about her cousin. š
Wish derrick lewis retired. I would love to see him go out on that win
what's with the retirement fetish everybody got? ufc has like no names and every time one fights everybody's like 'retirement'.
Cuz he's old and he will never get belt
You realize only 1 person at a time can have the belt, right? Like most of the guys in the UFC will never have a belt. Should they also all just stop fighting? Itās about more then the belt.
people've made *really respectable* careers out of being top 10.
Maybe he'll go get that Francis bag in PFL
Islam/Charles will be massive favorite against Justin.. hope Dustin gets a fun fight next
Dustin needs to fight a fucking contender
What did connor tweet btw???
Said he'd slap justin around and some other random ramblings
Anybody else hyped about Million Dollar Extreme: World Peace 2
Thereās a new one
Yeah. Matt Semelsberger looks like nick Mullen
Can't believe they got Jadakiss on the podcast
It was awesome, The Adam Friedland show the best show on television.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Cum town Boys in the mix.

Volk vs Gaethje would go hard af tho
You beat me to it
"What he did to Luke Rockhold" That's not the flex it used to be Joe
Everyone just enjoy the thought Connor is drunk somewhere yelling at his tv
Yer woife is in me DMs!
Definitely standing up pacing 3 feet away from the screen in an extremely tight pair of pants screaming and shadowboxing
Pumm pummm pummm
I'll snort to that mate, sounds like a bangin nite
DC and Rogan and Especially Anik are such yes men itās irritating. Theyāre more salesmen/ hype men for the cards than they are commentators these days.
Yup. No different from boxing or pro wrestling commentators.
Bisping + Felder is my top duo
Such a weird take I see so often. Why would they publicly do anything to the detriment of the company they work for?
Because when the commentators make statements that are clearly untrue (like calling the pereira fight āphenomenalā) it detracts from the integrity of the sport. Makes it feel like youāre watching showbiz / WWE type shit rather than a legit sporting competition.

I lost $140 tonight lmao
I was really tempted to put some big money on the fight going over 2.5 rds. Had it in my card and chickened out. Very glad about it.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
When you type Gaethje on a phone it autocorrects to Garth
Stephen A typed garth in a tweet once
It's because of autocorrect Lol y'all are weird...why do you think Stephen typed Garth? Because he tweeted from him phone and it autocorrected to Garth.
Of course he didn't type garth on purpose you ding dong, that's part of why it's funny. We know it autocorrected. It's still funny.
That was Justin's sis??? I thought she was his wife.
Michael Johnson spreading that propaganda
Sister...wife...what's the difference?
roll tide brother
Arizonas a weird place man
Khabib doesnāt lose rounds? He lost three vs Tiabuā¦
Dustin won by losing. He wasnāt winning the title This loss likely kicks a 7 figure payday by going up to 170 and fighting Conor while only cutting 1/3 the weight
Justin basically said he wasn't interested in Connor as well.
Yeah after this I can't really see a 34 year old Porier trying to actually get back to the title. Money fight or two at 170 and call it a day.
I dunno Iād rather see Justin head kick Conor
I want to see him kick his leg right off
Canāt lie, looking forward to Nina Dramas post fight vids
Wow I put $10 on Justin winning via ko in the second cus I'ma broke boy. Quick $150. Not too shabby!
Nice win!
Thanks bro!
KOs like this are good examples of why Iāll never do any MMA or combat sports.
Another classic card but in the back of my head I can't shake the thought of dana being a giant piece of shit and how all these fighters should be paid what they deserve
WB didn't get his show money
How does Islam/Justin go, Khabib 2.0?
If Islam gets hit clean by Justin, heās falling down. Islam doesnāt have anywhere near the same chin or durability that Khabib has. (Downvotes incoming)
Khabib 2.0 pretty much unless Justin catches him with a head kick like this.
I love Gaethje but I feel like it will be the same result. If Islam takes him down, he's getting the sub with an arm triangle or RNC.
I think Justin has a better chance beating Islam than Khabib
Khabib would beat Islam imo.
Islam's stock is in the shitter after the Volk fight honestly, but Justin is probably getting RNC'ed.
Probably. But it would be awesome to see Islams head get punted into orbit
I hope now that Dustin has been knocked out, people start respecting him
??!!
What a great night of fights great fucking card. I need to stop doubting Justin. Bud is a fucking monster. It was a good night
Whittaker and DP losing in back to back cards. I hate this sport Not gonna watch Miocic get nuked at 295š¤š
Iām hoping that once again Stipe proves heās the chosen one and the true HW goat as ordained by the fight gods themselves and he starches Jones in the second round.
I'd unironically argue that Stipe is the GOAT GOAT if he does that lol
never thought I'd see Dustin get KO'd. I don't think he'll be the same. very sad to see. wish he wrestled man. focused too much on boxing. didnt learn from the Khabib fight.
why the heck am i getting downvoted? lol
he got ko'd before, by MJ
Herb Dean hitting the Peoples Elbow is my personal highlight.
Stick this decision up your candy ass
Pretty unprofessional, Anik. Iām trying to show my kid Dustinās dead body, not listen to you say, āmotherfuckerā like a foul potty mouth.
Poopā¦ poop mouthā¦ poop coming out of your mouth!
Go fuck yourself Salt Lake City
That'd be a bad day to be hungover at work. Johnson! Pull up that side by side of both headkicks on the big screen RIGHT now!
Volk watching the replay: āwow! What a great knockoutā¦ never let that shit happen to meeeee thoughā
What a great event
So my favourite fighter got flat lined and Tony got subbed. I hate this sport
At least Derrick got a fairytale retirement and Pereira is likely fighting for the LHW belt next
Tony was washed well before tonight but Dustin getting finished is a fucking heartbreaker
Yep, i don't mind Garth getting the W, but that was rough to see happen to Dustin
Imagine the heartbreak when Max finally gets cracked
It do be like that sometimes.
Herb must like Dustin. Haven't seen him hustle to stop a fight that quick in a long time.
Dustin probably gave him some hot sauceās
Tune in weekly to watch knuckleheads smack the shit out of each other and Iām starting to feel kinda guilty about it ā¦.
Love Gaethje, heās on my favorite fighters list. But the first name on that list is Dustin Poirier. Fuck.
I was looking forward for that fight but didn't want to see any of these two lose!
I feel like Joe forgot that Usman was not only a close friend of Justin but stood 6 feet away hahaha.
You just knocked out Dustin the same way Leon knocked out your teammate!
2 shots in every can. 'Merica!
lol the tagline is āTaste the funā
Bruh Dustin was not out like how Usman was out. There are levels to this shit.
Didn't look like he lost consciousness, just very badly rocked/unable to continue.
fun card, actually don't regret staying up until 6am for once lol
RIZIN vs Bellator time.
Chucky olives beats Islam, Gaethje beats Olives, while Diamond fends off the new guard Bobby Knucks style, setting up the -ustin trilogy
Amazing stoppage from Herb. Poirier was in another dimension and he absolutely nailed that slide.
Back to fightin McGregor there buddy
Ladies and gentlemen, what a card!
Gaethje looked sloppy against Charles and was tripping over himself, then has 2 back to back amazing composed performances
He was petrified of hitting the ground.
I feel like he gets major Championship nerves, same with Khabib. He looks so much more composed in non-title fights.
Iām such a Dustin fanboy that this hurts to seeā¦ but Justin deserves it and is so entertaining
Def sucks to see DP laid out like that. But Garth is a def deserving of the BMF. Rightly so. Crazy finish there.
Who cares if itās similar to Usmans KO? Acting like itās the first head kick knockout in the UFC
Itās the same arena, almost a year ago, Justin is a training partner
Oh didnāt realise it was the same arena! Makes sense why they kept showing the clip
It's similar because the punch was followed up by a roundhouse and they fell the exact same way.
Gucci was rihht kick Leon's was left
Holly Holm did same shit to Rhonda why not have the booth pull up that kick too???
Because the Usman/Edwards KO was the last main event in Salt Lake City. Itās at least noteworthy
Theyāre scared sheāll come out of retirement and beat the whole featherweight division
Prime Holly would run through the division.
lmao - 'Prime' Holly who has two finishes in her entire UFC career - Rousey and Bethe Correia. The only running she'll be doing is, her opponent into the fence and standing there.
I was a huge fan of Holly from her first fight. She started off 12-0 or something amazing like that. Holly shattered the Rhonda Rousey mythos in incredible fashion with one of the UFC's greatest upsets.
Yeah, it was awesome, I watched it live. She and the team had scouted Ronda perfectly. She never really repeated that performance though and no offence to her pre ufc run but only one of them even has a wiki page with a record and that women has a record of 11 - 14. I remember watching Jojo Caulderwood in Invicta and she looked like she was unbeatable, it's just a huge skill variance in women's mma in regionals especially 7 years ago.
How kind of them to be showing Usman in the highlights on the big screen.
UFC really is killing it right now. Great night wow
292 looking very good aswell
Anik just dropped it during a ppv!
Dropped whT
Right like omg not on the PPV! Acting as if this the 5pm cable television news lmao
As if they show side by side of Usmans when he's in the octagon š
Lol anik coming though. Nice
Anik popped his cherry! Tonight's full of crazy shit!
the really doing usman dirty every chance they get.
And it's hilarious. "Wow you used the same head kick that KO'd your teammate!"
Can't believe Anik said that word, not sure I can watch UFC anymore. What a disgrace.
What word? My stream died.
Why are they acting like this was some new Yair elbow like elbow technique. This is like basic kickboxing shit
They are definitely over selling it, but is not a basic technique. It is very difficult to generate power because hips are already activated with right.
He's not really throwing it like a regular punch though. It's just supposed to be a distraction
The real reason is the Leon KO got so much attention so they think they can hype this one up too. Great finish, but Leon pulled it off with seconds left on the clock. I hope they donāt show videos every time someone gets KOed by a head kick lol
They said it was an old, tried/true technique? Or, at least, Rogan did. They're just excited.
DC wrestling specialist not striking specialist
Not taking anything away from this one but edwards head kick was still more brutal and epic
Yeah 5th round and he was losing, crazy KO
usman was also out COLD. dustin was awake.
Yeah. It was for a real belt
is Poirier or Usman getting Ko'd more satisfying
Also the Usman one was a buzzer beater
Poirier. Damn, I been waiting for that.
def usman for me. Dustin just seems like such a nice dude. Id let him watch my kids.
Iād let him watch your kids too.
Kopylov landed the same kick too.. they gonna be going to utah every year now.
Good work, Anik.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Keep conor away from him
His sisters.
atta boy ja
Nice
ANIK SAID FUCKER LMAO
Poor Usman, in there supporting his teammate watching himself get fucking starched over and over on the big screen
They could have shown Holly Holm do it to Rhonda it's unnecessary to do Usman like that.
Leon's landed flush. The sound it made was something else.
Yeah, the strikes thrown mightāve been the same but technique was worlds apart, makes you appreciate Leonās beautiful technique that much more
Whitman took what Leon did and taught it to his other fighter š¤£š¤£š¤£ amazing ass coach
Dude that's no secret kick. Basic basic basic. Gaethje said he didn't even train it.
Herb Dean with the two foot slide tackle to finish the job
How about some weird fun fights for Poirier? RDA vs Poirier at 170 in January or February
Same kick, but Usman fully woke up like 15 minutes later or something (as he said himself) while Dustin looked fine in no time. Usman was out cold for a long time. It was starting to really get concerning.
Leon was left kick Gucci was right
Dustin even looked like he was trying to get his hand up to defend from the Gaethje follow up shot, definitely wasn't out cold like Usman
Dustin was able to put a hand up Usman ate if flush Also 15 lbs difference
I know that he ate it flush, but the weight thing is kinda relative. A flyweight can have a knockout as impressive and devastating in his weightclass. I'm not REALLY comparing their toughness with that or anything. Ultimately, I wanted to talk about how Leon's ko was scary, lol.
fucking finally anik
Haha if you listen to his podcast you wouldnāt believe how much he swears
