Shit that left from Yoel was lightning fast

every exchange with these two is high stakes

I understand the slower pace, these are dangerous men

 

[MastAndo]

Romero landing the only significant shot that round. It's his round. Terrible start to the fight though. Come on, fellas.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Yeah the one significant strike has to be a round winning strike by default

 

[bronk]

Ahhhh im scared.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Yoel is so scary powerful

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I feel like Yoel let him off the hook there, had Izzy on the backpedal

 

[bronk]

Im so nervous. Why is Yoel so scary? This UFC has been so damn fun.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

2-0 Yoel

Izzy needs to figure something out quickly

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Yoel just won 2 rounds LMAO, one more and its over.

 

[Night.Ninja]

Yoel fighting smart, hes learned from his previous title fights

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

2-1 now, Adesanya still in it.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

You would have thought Yoel learned to not give away rounds like he did against Costa but I guess not

 

[MastAndo]

Romero is up to something. Every time he cuts Israel off and has him cornered off, he backs off and takes it back to the middle of the octagon. This is just odd. Also, shut up, Joe.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

It’s so weird how often Yoel uses “literally do nothing” as a strategy in so many fights

 

[SpiceRacz]

Got Romero 3-2

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

That was a letdown

Yoel is the physically scariest dude I’ve ever seen but has the worst fight IQ ever

I guess I have it 3-2 Izzy but I dunno. I don’t really care who wins after that one

can they both lose?

give me Paulo Costa back plz

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Yawn.

Co-main was the main.

 

[pauljeremiah]

I’m giving it to Adesanya. What a weird fight to score.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I’ll never understand why arguably the most gifted wrestler in UFC history so rarely uses his wrestling

I’m going to bed. Will catch up on pressers and reactions in the morning

 

[SpiceRacz]

Adesanya doesn't look confident at all that he won.

 

[Soleil rouge]

This was a terrible style match up. Boring decision for Adesanya.

 

[bronk]

Kind of a bummer there.

 

[Cunth]

I still don’t believe stylebenders hype

 

[SpiceRacz]

Even the crowd disagrees lol

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Izzy losing me a fan

don’t flip off the crowd, that fight sucked

 

[Night.Ninja]

Yoel only has him self to blame, yet again

 

[MastAndo]

Absolute snoozefest. Cut it out, Rogan. There's nothing wrong with a crowd showing displeasure with two fighters who were largely inactive over five rounds.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Paulo Costa gonna bring a war to Izzy

will be fun

 

[Carton]

Joe is being way too generous. The most compelling part of this fight was the ongoing anticipation that they’d finally open up. They didn’t. They fought like a football team chipping the ball to one another in the last few minutes of a game but they did it for the entire fight.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I mean I agree with 3-2 Izzy, it’s not like Yoel really helped his case

I understand the “lull you to sleep then explode” but when that’s all you do it looks like you’re doing nothing far too often

Hard to judge for a a guy who just stand there for half a round

 

[ScarletSpider]

[Hotty Botty]

Women’s fight was better

Fight of the year easily.

 

[Chairman Tickles]

IF Izzy had not run around like a little bitch i would have easily said romero was an ass clown. But romero did engage and every time he did izzy ran away. Romero was lazy but izzy was a pussy so whateva shit fight either way.

 

[Hotty Botty]

I would’ve scored that fight 4-1 Izzy. I thought the only round Yoel won was the first.
Also, fucking disgusting that the referee was trying to push them to get in and brawl. Adesanya fought the correct way. He did enough damage and was active enough to win. When you’re the challenger, you need to take the belt. Yoel just didn’t do that.

 

[siekro1983]

joel could have easily won the fight if he tried for take downs and clinch more. izzy ran the whole fight, and with that reach it hard to commit.

 

[manfestival]

Just got home from the fights. Zhang Vs JJ! Already a front runner for fight of the year. just wow!

Also I personally scored that 3-2 Israel. Rounds 1 and 5 for Romero. I found Romero's speech at the end to be just dumb. It takes two to tango and he obviously respected your power enough to not blindly try to have a war. The fight gave me flashbacks of Woodley vs Stephen Thompson. The crowd booing and etc. I get that people(myself included) wanted to see a war. Instead we got a really technical battle of how one man will overcome a genetically modified human. The crowd booing is lamer than the fight itself.

Dariush with an impressive knock out. That fight ended up being the kind of fight that I think everyone wanted to see from Adesanya and Romero.

Overall: A rating for the card. Zhang and JJ really elevated the entire card. I felt like I could go home and be happy without seeing the main event at that point.

Izzy has a massive reach, and ran when joel tried to engage which in fairness was not often. joel is a idiot though he should have started running to clinch and go for take downs.

I don't understand. Are you trying to inform me of something or are you just sharing your thoughts here? Also his name is Yoel, not Joel.

 

[TheGreatYosh]

That was an amazing co-main! She may have looked like an alien at the end, but Joanna won 2, 3, and 4.

 

[Tesseract]

i'm still freakishly stoned but uh, ggs all

 

[Chairman Tickles]

Nah she lost 1, 4 and 5. 4 is when she really got hurt. She landed some counters but they just didn't do much. Judges look for effect as well as landing. 2 more rounds and Joanna's head would have exploded and she looked far more tired in the 5th than Weili.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Dana White - “Listen, the fight sucked”

 

[Tesseract]

 

[Cunth]

Man I have to say I hate adesanyas fighting style. That same kick feint over and over. Ughhhh

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Apparently Korean Zombie and Brian Ortega got into a fight in the crowd and separately Paulo Costa had to be thrown out of the arena

Both Joanna and Zhang were transported straight to hospital after their fight

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Dana agrees with us, the way Yoel chooses to fight, “it makes sense whatsoever”

Dana says Zhang vs Joanna is “definitely a hall of fame fight”

 

[Cunth]

Maybe he’s been training with Diego Sanchez’s guy

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Paulo Costa

“That fight was shit. I will make Izzy cry.”

 

[HarryKS]

Like Adesanya, but he's too damn weak for a man his height.

 

[manfestival]

Man I have to say I hate adesanyas fighting style. That same kick feint over and over. Ughhhh

Yeah I think it was super frustrating for Yoel too. The guy has length in every department and conditioning over Yoel but Israel just played it super respectful once again like Woodley vs Thompson. Too much respect = boring fight and rounds like 5 strikes thrown in 5 minutes lol.

I didn't watch the video but that is crazy that they got into a fight. I really like Changsungjung and I think Brian Ortega is the real test to see if he has improved after all of these years. I thought it was weird that Costa got thrown out of the arena but we could see it when the cop got in his face when Yoel started calling him out again.

Side thought: I forgot to mention that Neil Magny put his hands on Li but Li has that heart of a warrior. I do hope we continue to see more of Neil since he felt more of an older style of UFC in the ring.
