No thread up an just about to get under way. Hopefully will see a good chunk of it but no doubt will be asleep before the Hendricks fight.

John_D80

Quick finish in the first fight.

tinpib

Nice of UFC to give some of the interns a bash at commentating and MC'ing*.

*[I know yer man Joe Rodrigues does mc'ing for boxing too, it's just weird without Bruce]

John_D80

Ah Damnit! Really wanted to see Marshman do well here.

I think the stoppage was a little early though.

Gamebred

Joe done the Cagewarriors shows,


Better card than 208 already.

tinpib

What a finish! Spinning heel kick. Commentators thought it was a bit of an early stoppage, not in my book, ref was spot on. Marshman landed some lovely punches earlier too. Good fight.

Me too although not a tad bit biased had him in accum :rolleyes:

tinpib

Another great fight there.

That_Guy

I'm enjoying Todd Phillips' commentary. Genuinely sounds excited to be there.

Gamebred

Yep prefer him than Anik if im honest.

John_D80

What a win for Markos. I had Esparza winning it by a hairs breadth but all credit to Randa.

Gamebred

30-27 elias there possibly the worst scorecard ive seen this year.

Hardly the worst

Had it 29-28 meself for Elias only giving Cezar the first round and he shaded that

worse than 30-27 Anderson Silva?, 30-27 Nover? Joe Lauzon even acknowledging his opponent probably won whatever the judges scored it?

Gamebred

He was taken down and nearly strangled in the 3rd alone, first round he was beaten too sweeped and hurt a few times, gave him the 2nd round due to a takedown even though he was in a tight enough guillotine,

That Canadian kid Tucker was slick as feck.

He was controlling the fight for a majority of the round yeah till Cezar got the back late on but he fought hands and freed out even almost getting a takedown himself didn't warrant scoring the round for Cezar in my eyes.

Could've been more impressive had he even hinted he could finish but yeah I'll stop there would be harsh to criticize much after debut in octagon.

Gamebred

Mr Muscle about to gas hard here.

martyos121

Have to say Todd Grisham has done a great job so far, really liking his commentary and he could be paired up with Rogan soon enough if he keeps it going.

29-28 Rig. He looked decent there.

Wrongway1985

2 30-27's though?

martyos121

Edmond's star pupil about to get murked next.

Gamebred

Lewis is absolute muck hes getting slept by Travis.

As poor as Travis has been lately, he's ten times as well rounded as Ronda ever will be.

Is he now? :pac:

The Black Beast takes another soul. He's not a great technician but he hits like a truck.

Subcomandante Marcos

Browne is finished as a potential contender.

He should take the throwing opponent on top of himself out of his game.

Very poor stoppage from Mario

Gamebred

GOAT parody account alright,


Crazy fight glad I stayed up for that, Browne missed a trick in the first round not spamming the body shots was over cautious I thought, great heart from the 2 boys.

Subcomandante Marcos

Lewis's post fight. Dying.

Ironically, Ronda could do with that technique, anything that gets it to the ground! :pac:

Gamebred

Possibly the funniest interview of all time in nots laughing hahahahaha

Guffy

Good fight, thought lewis was done during the first but browne was overly cautious. Tbf the man has some punch to be worried about. What was the ref doing? Terribly slow call but on the other hand i wouldn't want to jump across one of those blows!!

CatFromHue

yeah the ref seemed happy to wait until Browne was well out before he stopped the fight

I thought it could have been stopped when they were still standing

Gamebred

I think the ref wanted Travis to take that punishment, he barely made any effort even when he decided to stop it.

it certainly looked like that

ricero

Reckon thats the last we see of browne in the ufc or perhaps even in mma.

The man had great potential but the wrong decisions has ruined his career. Hes regressed so much its scary.

Now lewis vs ngannou i'd buy that for a dollar but reckon its too soon

In real time I felt it was early. He wsa knocked down but no knocked out. Was attempted to close guard and defend.

The slo-mo looked more like a stoppage though. His arms were failing a bit.

Rd 1 Markos
Rd 2 Carla
Rd 3 Markos

For me

Paul Felders elbow was very nice

Mazany was really poor. Just waked into it (mainly mad because she blew my accum)

I'd love that fight too, but looks like we'll get Ngannou v Cain and Lewis v Hunt/Overeem. After that, if Werdum beats Rothwell, there'll be 2 if not 3 strong claims for a title shot.

I have a feeling Stipe will hold onto the belt for another couple of defences.

Django99

Hendricks says he feels rejuvenated and is looking forward to more fights. I thought he looked awful physically and I wasn't really impressed by his performance. Could easily have lost on the cards and neither of them really did anything to try and win the fight. Hendricks would have no hope against any of the top contenders in my opinion. Don't know where he goes from here.

He looked great physically compared to the last few years. He was super light on his feet, very good foot and head movement, very active and fought very smartly and nearly had Lombard out of there more than once.
Very convincing win in my books.

I must watch it again I can't remember Hector being in trouble.

I'd agree he looks better than the failed weight cuts recently, but in comparison to when he fought GSP and Lawler, I think he looks awful.

No matter how dominant somebody looks at HW, something goes wrong and they lose the belt. Nobody (in 20 years) has defended more than twice.

True, and the same can be said for LW. I have faith in Stipe though. I'd maybe pick Cain over him but not much hope of him staying fit to make a run at it. Would pick him over the rest of the contenders though.

Gamebred

Best Browne looked in a long time last night barring the ending, slipped up massively not capitalizing in that rd 1, Ronda and himself up ended now non stop lately some might say karma.

He had Lewis in trouble, thought he'd get the finish when Lewis literally turned around and ran to the other side of the cage with his back to Browne.

Ya didn't I read she referred to Brendan Schaub* in her book as an average fighter she dated wonder how she'd describe Browne now 2 wins in his last 7 and one of those wins was Schaub the other with eye-pokes assistance.

*Not directly referred believe he was under a different name but him nonetheless

Lightweight has faired slightly better with BJ, Frankie and Henderson consecutively getting to 3 defences. It's only recently been one and pass. HW goes right back to Mark Coleman.

Maybe Stipe can break the curse. Looks like he'll have to face JDS and Cain to achieve that.

Stoppage was terrible, The kick was a slap. Marshman was defending himself.
