First of all, it's Darrell Horcher.

 

[zewone]

T.J. Dillashaw willing to drop down to 125 pounds and challenge flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson

That's something I'd actually like to see.

 

[juliushandle]

rooting for local kid Albert Morales on fight pass prelims today. I ref'd some of his bjj matches here in LA.

 

[Weckum]

Because people are stupid. Both of them are objectively great personalities.

This will never not make me laugh.

Also, where's the sudden influx of MMA-gaf new blood coming from? Based Punk?

 

[alpinestars1980]

If you're referencing me, I'm not new. Been watching watching MMA longer than heel has been making bad decisions.

 

[TheChits]

Perez/Morales was pretty good. Perez arguing with his corner after them telling him he was down two rounds was hilarious
Edit: Draw? The fuck?

Referee should've deducted a point to Morales for that knee in the 3rd round too. That point deduction for hitting after the bell rang (although warranted) really fucked "El Diablito" up, also he himself is to blame for not seizing the opportunity to finish the fight when he had him rocked in the third round. Even then i still saw Diablito winning.

EDIT: lol, figured that since this card is filled with mexicans barely anyone would be in here.

Anyways that Quiñonez fight was a good one, some cool back and forth action.

 

[PaulKersey]

This ref is trash. Point away over the knee but a million fence grabs that would put Florian to shame and nothing.

Great fight by Mowgli, he neutralized Sicilia's fire power quite well.

Sicilia's reading of Benitez was accurate...

He’s a scrappy southpaw. He trains out of a good gym. He’s a tough guy, like everybody in the UFC. I believe it’s a good match-up for me," Sicilia said. "You know, his wrestling isn’t the best, he has a guillotine and he kicks a lot. That’s what he’s good at. I’ve gotta get in there and take care of business and finish him.

Shame that he did not seem to prepare accordingly for him then.

 

[alpinestars1980]

That was a nice choke. Sam Sicilia just isn't a great fighter.

Ready for this main card.

 

[PaulKersey]

Holy crap. That was nuts.

 

[alpinestars1980]

Wow, crazy exchange from Chas Smelly. Amazing sub.

 

[Chesskid1]

WOW

 

[brentech]

Got damn

 

[pixelation]

Dean was a couple seconds late to notice that the guy was already out, that is dangerous.

 

[Chesskid1]

you could see the dude strugglin then suffocating and squirming, gdamn

 

[PaulKersey]

Dean was a couple seconds late to notice that the guy was already out, that is dangerous.

And he didn't even realize it. Chas had to tell him.

Yeah, that was some garbage reffing. Who was the ref? I didn't pay attention.

 

[pixelation]

Herb Dean.

 

[alpinestars1980]

Herb Dean.

Oh, dang. That's pretty uncharacteristic of Dean.

 

[Fox318]

Herb is captain late stoppage.

 

[alpinestars1980]

Late stoppages were a Maz special. I knew Dean has had some but it's mostly atypical.

 

[PaulKersey]

This crowd is trash.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

This crowd is trash.

these TV cards run too fucking long. The TV cards should be short and snappy. 3 or 4 fights max. Instead the UFC seems intent on dragging these things out for like 5 hours with like 75% of that being commercials. I'd be exhausted if I was at the arena.

Yep

Early stoppage for Hall?

100% agreed. 6 fights on a main card (especially on Fight Nights) sucks.

 

[alpinestars1980]

Herb Dean sucks so bad tonight. He effed up earlier so he decides to screw Hall.

 

[ShogunX]

Winner by KNOCKDOWN!

 

[pixelation]

Early stoppage for Hall?

I'd say so yeah, he should've given him a couple seconds more at least.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Yeah if Dean was going to stop that he should have stopped it right after the knockdown. Bruson didn't connect on any of his follow up shots.

 

[eXtv]

Early Herb, as always

i always tell myself im going to stop watching fight night prelims but i never do

 

[Plywood]

Herb is done.

 

[eXtv]

Canelo better stop Smith soon I don't want to have to watch this in tandem with Poirier/Johnson

 

[eXtv]

CHINNED

 

[PaulKersey]

Yes! ! !

 

[NomarTyme]

Got him good.

I'd say so yeah, he should've given him a couple seconds more at least.

Yep. Was hoping for a little more leeway.

 

[Guru-Guru]

i always tell myself im going to stop watching fight night prelims but i never do

Me too. Makes the event about 6 hours of (mostly) agony.

 

[parrotbeak]

Mirg needs to buy shoes that fit.

 

[alienxx45]

Nice win by Michael Johnson but what is up with celebratory double "pinch" pose he kept doing? ....

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Dat girl in the shorts they just showed was the best part of this entire cards.

 

[alpinestars1980]

Dude, you ain't lying.

 

[pixelation]

Total douche that Johnson is... talking shit over your downed opponent like that. I hope he gets KO'ed in worse fashion in his next fight, classless clown.

 

[abstract alien]

I'm actually glad he did it. Dustin shouldn't have touched him while facing off on the weigh in show.

 

[Banglish]

Dude touched his cheek like he was in 6th grade.

 

[Eanan]

Mmmmmm

That's true, Only thing I vividly remembered from the card a few hours later.

 

[Rumblebones]

Total douche that Johnson is... talking shit over your downed opponent like that. I hope he gets KO'ed in worse fashion in his next fight, classless clown.

He already apologised.

"I've known Dustin a long time and I felt disrespected to hear what he was saying to the press about me in his interviews," Johnson said. "He said I walked out like I was a big shot and that I was nothing and that just rubbed me up the wrong way you know. I've been showing him the utmost respect in all my interviews so that right there was a proven point and you know he should've respected me more.

"I said some things after I knocked him out and I went and apologized to him. I know I'm better than that. Like I said it was an emotional thing and I like Dustin, he's a good guy and I was wrong for saying what I did. I'm getting the chills right now saying it, but all said and done, it was a great performance by me and I hope we can be cool in the future."

Poirier was feeling himself a little too much and got too confident with the pre-fight trash talking for Johnson's tastes, I guess.

Whatever, Johnson said he's sorry he did it.

 

[juliushandle]

Glenn vs Dunham fight was Great to watch. Hope the 2 got a bonus.

 

[Archaix]

Glenn vs Dunham fight was Great to watch. Hope the 2 got a bonus.

They got the fight of the night, Skelly and Johnson got the performance bonuses.

 

[The Beard]

Early Herb, as always

He was "2 Late Herb" earlier in the night though.

Was Johnson doing a Fatality after the knockout? I saw him apologize in a post fight interview.
