Tom is the real champ now. Jon will come back in a year and fight Stipe, win, and then both will retire. Tom will be the defacto champ or he'll fight Ciryl Gane to cement it.

Alex’s leg kicks are crazy. Jiri is already stumbling.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

DC was right, the back of his leg is fucked

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks for participating everyone. Hope to see you all again at the next event.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

BANG!! Wooooo!! What a performance.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Yeah it's hard to say, he did eat a lot of elbows. Goddard probably assumed it was a wrap.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

That Jiri Reyes knockout is just filthy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I hate that stoppage a title fight.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Damn Jiri is intense.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I’m indifferent about the stoppage. He was hurt but, it appeared that Jiri had some more fight in him. On the other hand, Jiri’s body language after the elbows likely didn’t look good from a ref perspective.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, same. But knowing about his insane chin, Goddard should have let him take a few more..

Anyways, Pereira wins either way

Tom Aspinall vs Gane would be an absolute banger.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think Aspinall would dominate Gane on the ground. I’d still watch it though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh, absolutely. But Gane's speed and evasiveness would make the standup much, much more interesting. Gane's still gonna get his shit mixed, though..

That was an insane first fight, can’t wait to see a rematch if they have one

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lopes has some serious contender potential. His style is so exciting and he’s got some crispy technique.

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

That's true. Did he have a full camp this time?
He's very talented.

Lopes closed that one out definitively, damn.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow that was fast. I thought Aspinall was a dead man walking after he ate those first two shots.

I think he had it wrapped up but I think the stoppage was a lil snappy

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

Thankfully that's over. Nothing against Dern but that second round was hard to watch. Good stoppage from the ref.

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

I made it for the co and main...phew!

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

Wow, he looked a little disoriented already.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I got Alex in this one, but Jiri is a dog. Coin flip fight.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, I am stoked for this one.

Alex should have the cleaner striking, but Jiri is just wild and probably a bit bigger at 205.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Yeah. This is solid matchmaking. Not sure Alex has earned it, but I like this matchup.

Stipe lookin like a Bond villain

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Bond villain mixed with Steve Jobs.

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

Jones will never fight either of those dudes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Damn sometimes I feel for Dom Reyes, getting robbed against Jones and then those bad KOs.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yeah I remember when I watched Reyes VS Jones I was FLOORED that they gave it to Jones. The fix is in, that was my first thought.

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

Reyes had a ton of potential. He’s got a fight coming up. Maybe Dom will turn things around. If he gets flatlined again I hope he hangs it up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve been rooting for him since the Paddy decision. Nice win.

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

I think this applies to absolutely everyone haha

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

Fights start in a half an hour. Let’s go!

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

Has Saint-Denis a tiny Stipe in his corner?

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

Anybody else having issues with the Dubz links not working? Video won't play.

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

No issues here. Do you have any video plugins running? I had to disable Baking Soda for the dubz domain to get them to play earlier.

Only two fights above lightweight in the whole card...

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

I’m really looking forward to seeing Diego Lopes fight tonight.
