Most of the UFC fighters from Chechnya/Dagestan have really wild striking. Looping punches, chin up, etc. Even the more successful guys like Khabib. When it works it works, but almost all of them leave so many openings to get countered.

Yep, a technical fighter could just put a striking clinic on any of those guys really. They throw looping hands because they know one punch is enough, but patience and precision can beat them 9 times out of ten.

Seem like a flash KO to me. I think, he could've recovered if given the chance as some other refs allow it.

You mean a flash knockdown, KO would mean he's out cold.<

edit: Any of you has the gif from it? He seems to comeback the moment he falls down and regain consciousness/mobility as fast as he fell. lol I get why the ref stopped it though with his arm flailing like so when falling, but still.

Yep I've noticed it for a while. They have to tighten that up. Its the main reason I thought Cerrone was going to beat Khabib when they booked that fight

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Northcutt looks like a total Orange county MMA Zack Morris.

good for him, didn't know those types had substance.

 

[Mixolydian]

Like Gus and Cormier, OK with either one. I want Evans to destroy Bader though.

Yeah, Khabib does some crazy lunging punches where he is open to be countered that Cerrone could take advantage of. I especially remember it from his fight with Miller. Honestly though, I would still favor Khabib, since he is super aggressive right from the bell, and can wrestlefuck anybody in that division. Now with 2 knee injuries, who knows how he will look against Ferguson... I hope he hasn't lost too much of his explosiveness.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Oh my days. I am enamored with Sage Northcutt. He looks like a Starship Troopers character but he has the wide eyed optimism and values you build the company around.

Draft Kings just fucked me in the ass.

I was #1 on their $125k event and they cancelled it because of some "data issue".

 

[Guru-Guru]

I find it hilarious how all the dudes from Chechnya/Dagestan have the exact same haircut, facial hair, and expression on their faces.

You were the data issue.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Yeah that's a KO.

these prelims have been amazing

I know right? They are hungry as hell, love it when fighters get in the cage to prove they are worthy of being in the UFC.

 

[BeatnikGunsoo]

these prelims have been amazing

 

[septicore]

Albert Tumenov looked like a beast against Alan Jouban.

 

[Lazyslob]

tumenov fucked jouban up damn. i feel bad for jouban

 

[ldcommando]

Some good violence so far

 

[Obliterator]

these prelims have been amazing

Yeah great fucking card so far

 

[NomarTyme]

OMG Jouban got ROCKED! The russian is crazy good.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Brian Stann should have hit Helwani harder to be honest.

 

[VoxPop]

Aw missed out on the Tsumenov KO while watching a shitty WWE match.

 

[parrotbeak]

these prelims have been amazing

Yup, UFC finally getting some Legacy FC level talent.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

That next fight is looking to be awesome too, I'd stop watching that theatre WWE stuff and prepare mentally to see a fight worth the last 3 WWE events.

Eh, tag title match with a bunch of jobbers. Time for Yair.

 

[ldcommando]

Time for some flashy stuff

 

[VoxPop]

 

[Lazyslob]

stoked for yair

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Jobbers? I'm not seeing any jobbers in that match.

This should be a good fight here.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Hooker needs to put down his dancing shoes, you need to put pressure on Taekwondo fellas, can't let them have too much space.

 

[Obliterator]

I love watching Yair fight

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Daaaaamn! Yair is a slick muthafucka!

 

[Lazyslob]

man yair is so fucking impressive

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

those elbows from the guard!! He's voluntarily just slicing him with them instead of going for impact. Seriously, Yair is one slick fighter.

Hooker is just desperate now.


whaaaaat. Guy fought with a broken foot too and was still throwing those Tony Jaa strikes.

 

[septicore]

Dana White said on tweeter that Yair's foot is broken.

He's doing well fighting with a broken foot.

 

[Obliterator]

Man impressive Yair fought so well with a foot broken that badly!

 

[Lazyslob]

fighting like that with a broken foot? goddamn. that shit was super swollen

 

[juliushandle]

Uncle Bruce Buffer needs to take Sage under his wing and party with him. Imagine?

 

[Beardz]

That kick weird kick was so fucking sick!

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

Is it me or is that Baba O'riley song always playing at every damn UFC event? I still remember hearing it at UFC 113 in the Bell center. lol

 

[Obliterator]

Is it me or is that Styx song always playing at every damn UFC event?

Baba O Reily always kicks off the main card with an EPIC AS FUCK montage. I go to about 10 UFC fights per year and its always the best part. Goosebumps

Right? And I edited, brain fart on my part, it's a The Who song. Also got goosebumps when I heard it live. It was my one and only time watching a UFC event live though, gotta change that soon. Do we already know the next UFC event at Montreal?

 

[Fitts]

Great prelims. Hope this energy continues through the main card.

 

[Obliterator]

It was my one and only time watching a UFC event live though, gotta rectify that.

For sure, I love going to the events.

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

For sure, I love going to the events.

Too bad there's no UFC event coming to Montreal or even Toronto for a good while. At least not before July next year. Where do you usually go to watch them?

 

[Fitts]

Lol at that highlight reel attempting to make Bader look hype. UFC gonna get sued for false advertisement.

I travel a lot and follow them. Last one I was at was Chicago in July for the TJ vs Barao Title Fight

 

[Lazyslob]

pena is a moron. i hope she gets smashed

 

[Baldwin_the_First]

pena is a moron. i hope she gets smashed

Won't happen though, Eye is getting wrecked.

Giving out 3 passes to watch the ppv first 3 to quote get them. Redeem on UFC.com then you can watch on the UFC app.

Thank you Halo twitter!

 

[Hunter S.]

Mike Goldberg calls Rhonda's weight division a talented and competitive division. What a dumb tool he is.

Didn't take one, but that's cool of you man, how come you have extra passes like that?

edit: nvm, I guess it has something to do with a twitter contest.

Yup. The Halo Twitter account had a little thing and I won. Got 5 of them but I don't need them all so I used one and gave one to a buddy. Figure why not spread the love and give out the other 3 here.

 

[Guru-Guru]

It's what he's paid to do. You expect him to call the 135 division for what it actually is?
