Jorge is growing on me, a genuine person who came through the hard knock route. So respect for that.




Khabib v Dustin is a fight I'm already hyped for, can't wait. Should (hopefully be a banger ppv) and the fighters both deserve it and DP as interim should also get a cut of the ppv monies.

Mike Perry signs a 4 fight contract with UFC.

Novitsky talk about the cost of testing samples and why EPO testing is that uncommon.

 

[TrainedRage]

Yeah, I was trying to explain Jorge’s mindset after that happened in that thread. Dude came from bare knuckle streetfighting to make a living

I’m not sure he’s physical enough to keep Askren off him for long, but I’ll be watching

I remember seeing this a million years ago not even knowing. Up until like a few months ago. Dude was like, "Ok im done, that's enough".

239s lineup is so good. Hope nothing gets cancelled

Uh I really love this card. Plenty of strikers who like to bang. Should be exciting.

Agreed, they'll let them bang hopefully.

I used to mostly enjoy the striking part of MMA and only takedowns when it leads to ground and pound. The co-main last week was great for the wrestling and watching Angela Lee turned me onto the bjj and submission game. At the high levels it's amazing to watch.

Nice

Curious to hear him talk about training in Thailand

 

[Cunth]

He sounds like a really chill dude

 

[TrainedRage]

Is it possible to watch recent fights some way? I have missed the last two because of the odd times/location difference. Are they on any streaming service? Do I just have to wait and hope it goes on youtube? I wish there was a UFC app like the WWE app where you can go back and watch all the PPV events almost right after the fight.

i know they add them to ufc fight pass, i just don't know how long it takes before they do so. i suppose they can't add them right after, or no one would ever buy the PPVs (an already failing business model)

Im going to have to take a look at fight pass again. Seemed a bit cumbersome last time I looked at it.

Probably find the fights you want or highlights on YouTube, not whole event.


Every fighter made weight for this event.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I'm actually pretty stoked for this UFC on ESPN tonight. I know people don't like Greg Hardy and he's done some grimy shit in the past, but I do like watching him fight, he's very much a monster.

 

[TrainedRage]

Burns with the ground dominance.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Burns with the ground dominance.

yeah, easily dominated him.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I hope Arlovski wins tonight. Love that mfer

 

[TrainedRage]

"Cookie Monster" lol nice nickname! Stone cold hahaha.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

"Cookie Monster" lol nice nickname! Stone cold hahaha.

Joanna gave her a cookie at the weigh in....

and then beat the living shit out of her to take the belt.

Those were the days

 

[Bullet Club]

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Damn that left straight flattens Saunders. Savage ground & pound, lols at the blood next to the motel 6 ad on the mat.

 

[TrainedRage]

Dude!!! Yes!

 

[TrainedRage]

Is that you Jesus? Obviously Jesus is going to win.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

This is a good fight. I feel like Lineker is gonna knock him out

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

That was a really good fight. Sandhagen is tough.

 

[TrainedRage]

good first round to this one.

 

[TrainedRage]

Nice win for Glover.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Really thought Glover was about to get knocked out. Good recovery and excellent 2nd round. Really great fights tonight so far.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Great first round between Cowboy and Perry. Wonder if either gassed

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

It's usually ALWAYS these smaller cards that deliver the action. Tonight is no exception.

 

[Tesseract]

dude someone needs to walk out to the mortal kombat theme

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

OH SHIT. Perry was getting TEE'd then landed a hook and knocks Cowboy down.

Fight back up standing, this is a good one

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

What was that? Did Perry hurt himself slamming Oliveria? He fell back onto the fence

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I got this 1-1 heading into the third.

Great fight. Great night so far. I love MMA.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I got this 1-1 heading into the third.

Great fight. Great night so far. I love MMA.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. Oliveira took the first and Perry the second. Awesome fight so far.

 

[TrainedRage]

damn this one is good

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I don't like Perry but win or lose he scraps. He is a scrappy fighter and that was a scrappy fight. Good for him.

You gotta give the third to Perry on the power landed. Cowboy maybe landed slightly more often overall but not much power or damage on those shots.

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Great fight, either of them is a deserved winner. Perry... did... well.

 

[TrainedRage]

From Flint, yep checks out.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

If you guys remember Chris Leben, that is kinda who Perry reminds me of (fight wise)

From Flint, yep checks out.

All that clean water he drank growing up

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

What was that pose from Hardy?

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch with the guy he fought the first time. That was a good fight until the illegal knee.

 

[dream]

Jesus. That guy who showed up against Hardy is the biggest pussy, doing the most pussyish shit I’ve seen since Goes buttscooted against Saku.

His chin never been touched like that before it seems. He didn't like it and that was that. Great power from Hardy.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Feels like it wasn't that long ago that Jacare was the scariest dude on the planet. Then he fought Yoel and hasn't quite been the same. Still a great fighter, don't get me wrong.

 

[dream]

I think Jacare is one of those guys who suddenly turned 40 and started looking and feeling it.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

2-0 Hermy.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Jack just ate a clean left from Jacare. Can't take too many right on the chin like that
