The final chapter, unless its a draw. I don't think DC will be complacent here and stick to a plan unlike last fight. Stiope is the champ though and has good power. Deadpool shwag adds a little more personality to him, so I like him a little bit more. 50/50 leaning to DC.

O'Malley is being heavily promoted by the UFC, he's got potential but I don't see a title shot till next year if he beats a top 10 next (then top 5). Vera is not a slouch though, he's a hard worker & pretty focused. Could go either way.

Dos Santos I think will lose to Rozenstruik but like the main could go either way. Jairzinho had no chance striking against Ngannou, you needed a different strategy for that.

Fun night, I'll try and stay up.

Leaning Stipe. I think this is the fight where DC's age starts showing a bit.

 

[mekes]

Head says Stipe, heart says DC.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

I love DC but I think Miocic is taking it.

 

[Cunth]

Ohh yis
i think Stipe and O'Malley get the wins

 

[Cunth]

Cutelaba is out with covid

 

[frostyxc]

I like DC as a commentator, but I can't stand how he fights, so I'm all in for Stipe. Now that I've put my stance out in the ether, DC will flash knockout Stipe in 20 seconds into the first round. Dammit!

What don't you like about how he fights?

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

I want Stipe to win, but I think DC is gonna rely on his eye pokes on the feet and take him down and lay on him with that big belly like he did to Anderson Silva.

 

[Cutty Flam]

Never count on a fat fuck fighter to do anything but lose and return to the dinner table

Miocic in 4th round right as the clock strikes 2:11

 

[Cunth]

How many eye pokes you guys reckon gonna happen? I'm saying 17

 

[frostyxc]

What don't you like about how he fights?

I think KingdomHeartsFan covered it well. DC usually just leans or lays on opponents with his gut for five rounds and hopes for a decision. I know he's a great wrestler, but he uses the lamest aspects of wrestling to squeeze out wins. With that said, DC's knockout of Stipe was pretty cool.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Gotta see this both fighters go so hard basically a dream match up only thing missing will be the fans

 

[HawarMiran]

GO CORMIER!!!!

 

[frostyxc]

GO CORMIER!!!!

Where's the thumbs-down button?!? I need a downward-pointing thumb!

I keed! I just hope it's a good fight.

 

[mekes]

I watched O'Malleys last fight again earlier today. Such a great finish. Its like he just decided 10 seconds prior, I'm going to end this now.

 

[Futaleufu]

If Miocic sets the pace, keeps range and stays calm he has this in the bag

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Expecting a Stipe win. During the John Bones era...I felt for DC. But since then, if you pay attention to his IG and interviews, he loves throwing people under the bus, even his friends. He actually has a big ego and cant accept loss. Also a fatman laying on top of you for 3 rounds is not technique, its just him using his fat. Khabib keeps you on the ground but he is manhandling you. Also the eye pokes...you are a veteran of the sport and the organization, dont tell me you still dont know how to keep your fingers tucked in. When he beat Stipe, the longest title holding champ, he did not want to rematch him at all...the guy 4 times defender and that got knocked out of the blue. But when he lost to Stipe, hunting for a year to rematch...Stipe got surprise knockout, DC got beat down and dominated in the end. He is not a bad guy but obviously uses these small mishaps as cheats to win ( #towelgate). Hope he gets knocked the fuck out, cries on live TV and calls it a day.

Stipe even though I was not his fan in the beginning, I realized how they love again throwing him under the bus and thast when I started to like him when he started proving people wrong. Seeing Danas plans demolished is always a sight to see

 

[MaestroMike]

Last fight was entertaining mostly stand up if I recall but I gotta feeling cormier is gonna wrestle more In this one and try to gas him out which I guess would probably be the smart game plan so I'm going with DC even if it's a boring way to win unless he dominates like khabib.

 

[Cunth]

DC won't hold Stipe down though

 

[MaestroMike]

*shrugs*

 

[HarryKS]

2 good dudes beating up each other. Sad.

 

[GymWolf]

I want stipe to win but i think cormier got this kne if he stick to wrestling.

Curious about vera vs o malley.

press conference right now

 

[Later Alligator]

Hoping for Stipe

DC looks to be in terrible shape. and he's poked Stipe in the eyes like 10 times over 2 fights

 

[MaestroMike]

 

[Cunth]

[EviLore]

Subbed to remember to tune in tomorrow.

Are there only 2 Early Prelim fights?

 

[MaestroMike]

Are there only 2 Early Prelim fights?

Appears so.

 

[TrainedRage]

O'Malley loves the weed. My man!

 

[frostyxc]

Did Cormier get revived from a coma before they took his photo for that matchup "poster"? Yeesh!

 

[Tesseract]

it's awesome that we still got fights during this lock

outer haeven is nearly complete

 

[TrainedRage]

LETS GO!!!

 

[TrainedRage]

Why does the ring look so small?

 

[MastAndo]

Nice round. These boys are throwing. Kamaka with some nasty body shots.

 

[TrainedRage]

Kelley is gassed.

Also why does it look like the camera is covered in Vaseline?

 

[SpiceRacz]

They're using the smaller cage. I think it forces more action. Not sure if stats back that up at all.

Seems like a HUGE benefit for Cormier. Or any grappler really.

 

[TrainedRage]

Dude this ref... "you are still responsible for your weapons"! LOL good guy ref

[TrainedRage]

Good fight to start it off.

Prelims starting in 20

 

[mekes]

This Brown - Chavez fight is pretty good. Just tuned in.

 

[Maxwell Jacob Friedman]

Ive got Stipe all over this

 

[Carton]

Merab is a very likeable guy. Good to see him have some success. Dodson didn't have his usual skip, but still bops up from a takedown like a boxing dummy.
