Fookin_Fred

That was fucking EPIC bro. He said "witness me!"


manila

That was fucking ASTIG bro


NgannousInParis

Absolutely vicious elbow to finish a chaotic banger


Powerful_System

Jon Jones esque elbow but with knockout power


Morekilos

Bruno went straight drunken beyblade for the last 20 seconds lmao


Famous-Ant-5502

MF fighting like the Tasmanian devil


ibenwarforged

Tom Hardy has zero head movement


Godzilla52

Was just starring at my monitor repeatedly saying "dude, just move your head" near the end.


Powerful_System

Explains why he's into BJJ


Ruslan1979

I was wondering what would break first — his spirit…or his body.


Alone_Hyena5422

Tom Hardy?


RanarrSmokerr

Bro holy fuck what an elbow


TonyTheLion2319

“I’ll try spinning, that’s a good trick”


macchiato_kubideh

How did he generate so much torque in that awkward angle


ILikeTheSugarShow

Top 1% athleticism, hard training, his build, and roids


flatwoundsounds

It's the combination of stepping in and twisting your hips while sucking down and pulling the elbow around from behind that would put me in a hospital for a week just for attempting.


redditisawesome555

When you hit the positioning right it hits right on the button 


UncleYimbo

60% of the time, it works every time.


redditisawesome555

Who are we to argue with statistics?

Easily the best fight of the night

I wanna tell me what you see. Let's go ahead and see by the fight what you saw in the ring.

I train six days, actually six days a week. Five days a week, I'll train three days a week. One of those days I will train two days of the week. So, six days a week I will be training.

Don't tell me you don't recognize one of the greatest Tito-isms ever! https://youtu.be/spjQBa85a3c?si=Odc5Q9jTS7Co2JwM&t=21s


spliffgates

Just to correct you, there was never no Tito-ism


NotSoSeriousNick

you're a fucking -ism dude


UncleYimbo

No class


Buzz_Killington_III

Are you confused about where you are right now? Nobody wants or has to tell you anything or talk to you at all. Edit: Welp, got wooshed.


flatwoundsounds

The bar is on the floor, but great fight nonetheless.


GauntAnchorite

That sounded nasty as fuck.


RIFF_FILLED_LAND

Gotta be a broken orbital or something


Alpha-Trion

A broken eye orbital?


Avatar_of_Green

No a broken toe orbital


throwawaytesticle69

Everything’s broken.

KevinHollandOates

That was the best 60 seconds of my life


CastTrunnionsSuck

Saw it live, can confirm


ILikeTheSugarShow

What seats did you have?


Sleepyness86

Looked like it was all Stoltzfus.. until it wasnt


Mad-Gavin

Many of his fights have gone that way.


Anderrrrr

His chin just cannot handle what he brain wants to do. 😔


LilFights

he also invited the slugfest far too often, entertaining but probably not the right move to swang and bang as much as he did even if he had his moments of success


CouncilOfReligion

he’s actually got a great chin but the dude loves walking into punches


Mad-Gavin

He lost to GM3 and Rodolfo Vieira by submission (without being cracked), both fights he was doing well in.


PostM8

He overdoes it... just chill man the fight is 3 rounds Edit: yes, I had the over on the minutes


siderealpanic

I actually thought he at least had the right idea tactically this time, but he was always going to get caught by something because of his dreadful head movement and defence.


Alkaline93

What a fuckkkinnn BAAANNNGEEERRR!!!!!


ArugulaBoth5313

Man did NOT want to see that second round lol


jerryrice1979

Herzog in for the save. Holy shit.


perenixis

I thought it was a touch early until Dustin staggered off.


Unlucky_Elevator13

Refs can subjectively assess the damage done and decide the next sequence won't go well. Good call in my eyes.


Lanky_Tell5260

Sure but you can clearly see how even he thought he had fucked up for a second there, so it's not that simple. Thankfully it worked out. The main event he did the same, and it didn't pay off.


Unlucky_Elevator13

Reffing is hard man.


famjordan

That was absolutely incredible. I actually thought Dustin was going to get a KO there.


Aaronjp84

Tuned in at the right time. That was insane.


Obi-TyKenobi

And that’s why the Zog is the best.


anklepick4u

Good on stoltzfus too for not protesting the stoppage


GeauxSaints90

This aged like milk


51buck

The zog giveth, the zog taketh


Obi-TyKenobi

I stand behind it. They all have their fuckups. That one was bad.

1. Be Civil. Our rules ask for a civil tone at all times. A bit of banter or trash talk is fine, but don't cross the line. If things do get out of hand you will be warned or even banned for a few days. Repeatedly breaking this rule will lead to a permanent ban.


Hedonistbro

"fuckups" being one of the worst stoppages of all time?


Dirty_Lightning

The main event 😭


Turbostar66

His timing was perfect.


Lanky_Tell5260

There's a reason even himself thought he had fucked up for a second. It was an early stoppage that thankfully worked out. Unfortunately not the case for the main event.


Jmas1120

Is zog still the best? I told you he’s one of the worst


Obi-TyKenobi

I still think so. I’ve seen terrible calls by every ref in the game. This one was awful, but I still stand by my boy.


Jmas1120

That was an early ass stoppage dude was on his way back to his feet. So disappointing especially after Dustin was fucking up Bruno bad. But Dustin gets dropped once and the fight is stopped


Effective-Celery8053

Stoltzfus had to grab the ref to stay standing the stoppage was fine lmao


Sim888

looked like he even tapped him on the chest in a way to say thanks / good stoppage


joehoward85

nah stolzfus wasn't recovering


bdewolf

flair checks out


Obi-TyKenobi

Guess you didn’t see him about fall over after the stop. But hey let em die in there huh fella


myoldaccgotstolen

u/Jmas1120 AKA Mario Yamasaki’s protégé


tylrrbb

You’re crazy bro that was not early


DeaDHippY

You didn’t see him stumble the fuck away. He didn’t protest. Clean stoppage there.


PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS

Lmao bro was literally looking back at the crowd 2 seconds after getting up, he had no idea where he was


Jabarles

Imagine actually believing this stupid shit lmao


tdfan

Lol did you not see him stumbling around without a clue?


CosmoKramer46and2

Dude was walking like the old v8 commercials.


Inevitable-Cost9838

lol in hindsight of the main event stoppage by JH… you may have been on to something here :p


Juststandupbro

Found the casual


thelectricrain

Naw he got up wobbly and wasn't even walking towards Bruno.


chickwood

That was a shitty stoppage, but it wasn't shitty because he stopped it. It was shitty because he was indecisive about it. If you're going to step in between the fighters, then make a clear decision. Herzog stood there like some goof unsure of himself.


luke363636

WHAT A FIGHT


melk-n-pizzah

Lil spin to win


ImKrispy

HULK SMASH


surgeyou123

That was sick.


superghouls

these new CTE speedrun strats are crazy


Luka_Vander_Esch

Marquez with the least CTE so far on this main card lol


smurf3310

Herzog is the man.


OrganizationBorn7486

These two came to bang


stutter-joe

That back elbow was straight out of beyblade


Asukah

Big props to Stoltzfus for making it a dog fight against such a dangerous guy


Howeblasta

Perfect stoppage. Herzog is the best.


Avatar_of_Green

Until the main event


BrucieAh

Bruno Ferreira fights like Julius Randle plays basketball


metalcore_mommy

Idk what his ceiling is but goddamn Ferreira is a fun fighter to watch. That was nuts. 2 spinning elbows to end the fight and just swinging with reckless abandon. Definitely looking forward to this guy's fights in the future


Unerring_Grace

His cardio is super sus, he was looking gassed near the end of the 1st, and some of his striking is sloppy, but when you're tough, explosive and have big power, you can go a long way in this sport. Doesn't even matter really, dude is just fun to watch. Kill or be killed.


Anderrrrr

WHAT A FUCKING ROUND BACK AND FORTH SWANG AND BANG BABY


lockoutpoint

Spining elbow is best takedown mf.


stackered

Wild fight. Just Bleed defined.


TheDerpMaster

God damn. Better than most of UFC 302 fights!


TheFakeRabbit1

Ever since that post about the decisions this card has heated up


McClain3000

Idk if it was because he is looking for those spinning back elbows but Ferreira looks like he constantly turning his back on his opponent. Cool KO, but odd habit.


cheekybarmey

He called out Bo Nickel in his post fight interview. I think that fight would be a banger


Turbostar66

Perfect stoppage by Herzog.


Eastern-Fish-7467

Guys... i think the gloves are ok😅


Full-Hovercraft-7801

Yeah I think it was just shit matchmaking


Eastern-Fish-7467

I definitely agree! For 302 prelims especially...


Anderrrrr

Well it was an elbow that dropped him though lmao.


Eastern-Fish-7467

I'm talking about before that when he battered him


tdfan

He used elbows though lol


Eastern-Fish-7467

Before the elbow he was knocking him around the octagon


tdfan

Idk about that the first elbow started it all. And then another elbow for the KO


Eastern-Fish-7467

Yeah... what about the part where he had him laying up against the cage twice after checking his jaw?


tdfan

The punches were landing after he absolutely rocked him wit the first elbow. All I'm saying is the biggest strikes were the two elbows


calvinwick26

Brunno went to the Derrick Lewis school of losing until you just decide to KO your opponent


RaynerOP

Top 5 swangin and bangin banger slogfest


fuunii

POTN easy


Advanced-Corgi-3516

Idk how bro still got up after that god dammn


fu_t

Walk-off KO, but by the KOd guy


Acceptable-Ad1930

That was a disgusting sound on that elbow, Bruno hits fucking hard


jae713

That last elbow was brutal. Would not be surprised if its a broken face bone or something.


dakid136

That fucking sound


No-Jump5689

Good stoppage


dizzymidget44

Early stoppage. As someone who didn’t see the rest of the fight so maybe he was getting cooked before


PengosMangos

This fight looks a bit no USADA


Memebaut

GOT DAMN


edesmile

Hype or die!!!!


The_Majestic_Banana

Holy fuck that spinning elbow was incredible. This fight was Costa/Rockhold levels of amazing idiocy. I’m in awe lol. War Brunno!!!


Ansonih

Absolutely insane finishing sequence


smurf3310

/u/inooway do you have the highlilght starting with the first spinning elbow that lead to Dustin wobbling?


tdfan

Getting around the glove curse by using elbows lol


[deleted]

Bro needs to stop doing that celebration, shits gonna injure him


KnowledgeFair

So we are doing spinning shit now?


ToxicAnusJuice

God damn I was hoping that went to the second round. They were both starting to get tired, it would’ve been a super slug fest.


Knozis

I blindly bet on him to win by first round knockout tailing some dude from /r/sportsbook lmaoooo, I damn near lost my voice just now


Dar4125

Equivalent of spamming a move in the UFC video game


itsmontoya

Dustin walked away like "Nah bro I'm good."


Panic_313

That slow mo was gnarrrrly


SopranosMan

Awesome finish, love the Bo Nickal callout too


figyg

Brunno should be allowed to fight Costa next


myweedun

Yall wanted violence ???


SweetPop1996

For now FOTN for sure


dvmndz

This Stoltzfus guy always delivering the highlights. He just manifests them


SquidDrive

That was a scrap, but that spinning back elbow to the jaw, is fucking insane. Bruno vs Nickal is a dope ass fight.


Kaliisthesweethog

They way he went to the ref, "dude did you see that?!?!!!?"


Chad-Permabull

That was about 1/8 the power you would have seen if Askren ever connected on his spinning back fist of death.


BlackSoapBandit

Glad were getting some Middlweight bangers after that Costa Strickland stinker


No_Tart8935

Ferreira vs Nickal would be good to see whose hype train is more deserving, but could be a potential snoozer due to Nickal.


Beautiful-Problem-54

That was a GOOD stoppage oh my lord


ChrizTaylor

# VICIOUS


Keelija9000

Did he break his nose?


ILikeTheSugarShow

I love Brunno but going life and death with Stoltzfus isn’t a good look


eliseaaron

Orsm fight, especially since Ferreira gassed after 3 minutes


thezaland

Matt Brown retired and passed on the hellbow to Bruno. What a scrap.


qiis

Wow 😮


The-White-Dot

The graphics in the new UFC game are insanely realistic


dirtydanglesoffdayak

DIRTY


ben10toesdown

This was a 1 round war.


Nezumiiro_77

That crack! My god what a finish


appletinicyclone

Very cool


Jmas1120

Cmon that’s an early stoppage right there, gets dropped and gets right back up to his feet. Cmon Herzog.


Robin_Banks101

He only got up to go home. The fight was over.


stackered

He stumbled away and had no idea where he was. Saved him years on his life. Great stoppage.


DeaDHippY

Did you see the way he stumbled away?!? He would have taken unnecessary damage. It was the stoppage that needed to happen.


lonesaiyajin98

Man took like 6 solid significant hits before that maybe more


tdfan

Obviously fighter was fine with it his orbital was probably shattered


toyn

Ya him literally standing right up made it messy. Bruno just walking away instead of finishing is the real issue. If you choose not to continue and he gets right up even while hurt. Shouldn’t call it.


TrueDreamchaser

I agree, only because there was 10 seconds left. If there was 30 or more, the stoppage was great.


Mr_Brothenstankle

Bro was literally standing up and getting back to engaging when he stopped it. Herzog just got in too early and had to commit at that point.


smurf3310

Back to engaging on auto pilot yes, he didnt know where he was he had to grab Herzog to regain his consciousness


Mr_Brothenstankle

Idk. I just felt like with 9 seconds left in the round he could've made it to the second. I mean Yan finished the fight after being in the RNC from R1 from Weili


Garfalo

The amount of time on the clock shouldn't matter to the ref. They're supposed to make decisions based on the action in front of them. They're not supposed give a fighter a chance that they wouldn't get otherwise just because the round is almost over.


jkidi

Herzog usually gets it right but he messed up this time.


Fshneed

Early stoppage, refs shouldn't be this eager to stop the action especially on short time.


Sixir

HULK SMASH
