I hope Lewis and Ferguson bring back some of their old magic but I am not too optimistic.

Flying knee from Lewis. I did not pick that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I wanted Dustin to do the damn thing, but Gaethje looked phenomenal. Hell of a finish.

Keep an eye out around 11PM ET for the Bellator X Rizin 2 live thread. We’ll give dueling threads a shot tonight and see how it goes.

Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!

that commercial lol

Fence grabs, attempted eye gouging, glove grabs, trying to pull Maverick's top off multiple times, trying for a Brazilian tap. Cachoeira is such a piece of shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Looked like there may have been an attempted fish hook too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Semelsberger looks like he knows where you can get that primo cartel crystal meth.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's almost as good seeing Miranda win as it is seeing Cachoeira lose.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Let's go my guys.
Got a bit of sleep in and now I am ready to go.

Holy fuck, the power just went out where I live.

I need to add fantasy football commissioner to my resume.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Heel went straight into the balls, Rogan is tripping.

What an idiot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

He didn't used to be this bad but these days I feel like he is wrong about this type of thing all of the time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And he cannot let it go once he gets going.

Heel was to the side. Not on the balls.

Shades of Shabliy vs Musayev

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's not only the altitude in Salt Lake. The air quality is abhorrent so I think that plays into it as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

some violent swinging tonight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

His heel was to the side of the cup. Man fuck this guy.

kopylov landing nearly everything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

this fight is weird.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They called Karl Malone "The Mailman" because he always delivered.

But it's probably because he has like 11 kids he doesn't take care of.

Watching Tony get pieced up like this makes me sad.
