Ortega getting lit up

 

[Rumblebones]

Ortega won round 1.

Moicana is giving him those hands in round 2.

 

[Obliterator]

2 rounds in and Ortega hasn't even tried to get this to the floor......uh what's with the gameplan boys?

 

[VenomousCoffee]

I have no idea how I'd score this.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

One round a piece. Great match up.

 

[Obliterator]

This fight is fucking dope so far.

Both dudes firmly in the pocket just letting it go

 

[Rumblebones]

Round 2 looking a draw almost. Maybe Moicana edges it but I think Ortega is getting the better shots later in that round.

 

[Oscar]

More like Brian "CTE-City" Ortega amirite?

Dude blocks punches with his face

 

[brentech]

Round 2 looking a draw almost. Maybe Moicana edges it but I think Ortega is getting the better shots later in that round.

I agree that Ortega took the 2nd half of the round, almost exactly from 2:30 to the end, but Moicana landed a lot more the first half of the round, so he'll win that round for sure.

 

[Obliterator]

Tell you what you can't question either one of these dudes chins thats for sure

 

[brentech]

so far in the 3rd, Ortega being smart, if he gets hit, he is making sure he throws just as much back



yesssssss

 

[Obliterator]

ORTEGA A FUCKING MONSTER ON THE FLOOR

 

[ldcommando]

Holy shit that was amazing

 

[broz0rs]

man, these dudes in prelims are hitting each other with everything including the kitchen sink.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

What a finish!

 

[Chesskid1]

lmao insta submission once it hit the ground

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Ortega is no joke when it comes to his ju jitsu ability.

 

[Obliterator]

Prelim card has been amazing.

That usually means its time to start worrying about the main card

 

[Oscar]

The striker turned into a panicked wrestler and got promptly tapped.

Reminded me of the ending of Diaz/McGregor 1.

 

[RobertM]

WOw, this is the second time Ortega had a last minute submission.

 

[ldcommando]

Let's hope the great prelims/shitty main card curse doesn't happen tonight

 

[NH Apache]

Probably fight of the night

 

[Rumblebones]

T City with the beautiful guillotine. What a scrap.

 

[alr1ght]

Dude should not need to be fighting with his family's salsa empire.

 

[Rur0ni]

FOTN so far. Hoping the main card holds up.

 

[brentech]

Love that kids instinct on the ground, and just his ability to finish in the 3rd. God damn.

 

[shwimpy]

Ortega looks like Cillian Murphy.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Ortega doing a good job on the mic.

 

[Obliterator]

Ortega becomes the first fighter in UFC History to win 4 fights in a row by 3rd round finish

 

[pixelation]

Prelim card has been amazing.

Was just about to post this too... also... Sterling's hair is dope.

 

[Obliterator]

Rooting for Aljo the Funkmaster in this one

Though I think its a hard match up for him

 

[broz0rs]

Anybody know why Sterling vs Barao is a catchweight fight? Did either of them miss weight?

 

[pixelation]

Wondering if Sterling's breath really does stink...

Spoiler

Barao covered his nose at the weigh ins when they were face to face and Sterling said something to his face.

California refused to allow Barao to cut to 135

 

[Chesskid1]

i always have no idea whats going on when someone is going for heel hooks

 

[Obliterator]

i always have no idea whats going on when someone is going for heel hooks

That's because they rarely ever work at the highest level. Its almost always a waste of energy unless you are using it to try to transition to a different position

 

[VeeP]

Hey guys, I searched the first page but maybe I missed it :/, what time is the LHW fight between DC and Jones? Probably around 12 Eastern?

 

[N° 2048]

Maybe 12-1 I'm guessing

12-1AM EST is usually when the the main events of UFC cards go off.

Alright, thank you .

 

[Obliterator]

Really impressive round there for Sterling

 

[pixelation]

Ouch @ those knees to the coccyx.

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Sterling looking sharp right now.

And yeah, lol at those knees.

 

[Rumblebones]

Barao just looks neutered. He's a far cry from the fighter he used to be.

 

[kikiribu]

Barao doesn't seem hungry anymore.

 

[Obliterator]

Barao just looks neutered. He's a far cry from the fighter he used to be.

He was never the same after TJ destroyed him.

I was live at the fight during the 2nd one and it was a hellacious beating he took. That kinda stuff can ruin fighters

 

[Rumblebones]

Barao gave up going into round 3. His problems are all mental, not physical. He's a much better fighter than Sterling, but he sure didn't look it tonight.

 

[Chesskid1]

man this fight card is really happening!!

 

[ldcommando]

barao doesn´t have it anymore

 

[alr1ght]

29-28, 29-27, 30-26

okay
