i may have been watching too many good fights, but i didn't find the luque/belal fight fun to watch, couldn't finish it.

anyone catch Rob Font vs Chito Vera?
action packed fight

Great fight. Rob was looking good at first but then just got wrecked. Didn't even look recognizable by the end of the fight

Who's pumped for this? Mikemhg ... I think you get first pick this time.

Taking Oliveira.

What about the girl fight and Fergusson/Chandler? Ferg is the favorite, but I want Chandler.

K, if you take Oliveira I'll go with the other ... Gaethje hits hard as hell and has a chin like no other but I think Oliveira has slight edge with a a more well rounded ground game and take down. I see a submission in 3rd round but you get first pick so Gaethje it is for me.

For the Fergusson and Chandler, since you got to pick first on main, I want Chandler. I don't think Fergusson will be able to keep up with Chandler and this will spell the end of Tony Ferguson's fine career. He get's KO'd in the 3rd.

Girl fight - Esparza vs. Namajunas is an interesting one. Rose lost to Carla once. I'll go with the revenge factor and Namajunas wins this rematch in a decision.

Are we doing pick ems or should I be more specific in terms of round and type of win?

If so, we could essentially choose the same fighters, with different results.

If not, I'm fine taking the other pics, although I think Thug Rose is going to win, and Tony is going to get KO'd. I'm shocked he's actually listed as the favorite.

As before, just the winner. I just added my 2 cents in.

Oliveira doesn't make weight, came in at 155.5 lbs ... stripped of his title. Even if he wins, he cannot win back the belt only Gaethje can win the belt.

I might've taken Olivera if he didn't have to grind so hard to make weight - I think he has more tools.

Gaethje, Chandler, Namajunas

El Cucuy just got ktfo

Ferguson was talking a big talk before the fight ... you gotta think it's over for him. Dana White probably pretty happy.

I have been muting the Bruce Buffer segments every time until today, and holy fuck I forgot how bad he is. And he's somehow gotten worse!

They could bring in any random fan from the crowd and they'd do a better job. Holy shit

Sick main event though.. Oli will come back and win his belt back

Wow to Oliveira ... !! Just as in previous fights, he gets knocked down, comes back and submits the opponent.


mikemhg - you got 2 out of 3 tonight. Kudos.

Oliveira vs. Chimaev might be good match.

Wtf was Rose and her corner thinking. That was one of the worse fights ever. She's surrounded by delusional yes people.

I think Rose and Pat Barry are in a weird cultish relationship. After all he started grooming her when she was like 14, and they "eventually" became a "couple"

So I'm not surprised the coaching is bad. This is why I was so blown away that she beat Joanna twice (her first pro losses) and Zhang twice; (her only pro losses other than her first fight in 2013)

This fight today is more what I expect from Rose

Sad cause she has the potential to dominate and still has great take down defense. I was hoping the plan was to pick up the pace in the latter part of the fight but nope, total snoozer. I swear, the scorecards were probably blank, for the first 3 rounds.

Now the winner of Joanna/Weili will probably get a shot, before Rose has another chance

rose showed she can't be held down, it was time to open up, carla got a free title gg

i haven't followed carla's career too much, she seemed like a one dimensional fighter that lucked out getting the opportunity to be the 1st champ, but no way can compete in the upper tier of the division with the depth but here we are.

guess we'll have to wait for JJ or Wei lei to eat her alive to set things back to normal :nyan:

Pat bet the farm on Carla

is that photoshopped?! he looks like a ghoul or just has a succubus drain the freaking life energy out of him.

i saw that kick at a diff angle and you see chandler winding up like he was taking a penalty kick
w t f shadowrealm kick :ohgodwhy:

Nope that's a legit photo AFAIK, just perfectly timed (the photographer probably shoots at who knows how many shots per second)

It's sick how his skull is shooting up from the kick, but all his skin is still in its original place - scary because his brain is probably doing the same thing inside there. Dude will probably never quit, but his brain really needs him to.

^ yah, I don't know how he does not walk away while he is still somewhat coherent with some semblance of health... he's 38, lost like 4 in a row, prime candidate for CTE ... in most sports, 38 is past retirement age, let it go bro, it's past your time.

Abe Lincolned his ass :lol

That Rose fight and the fact that Esparza is now champion just shows how garbage the female divisions are.

We've played with this damn experiment enough for the equality movement, the product is trash, the competition simply isn't there yet.

Relegate the girl fights to undercards and Invicta. I'm tired of watching these god damn decision fests as a co-main or main event.

I called it that Tony would get KO'd :lol

Figured by fists and not a head kick though.
