Hooker is gassed 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

3-1 hooker?

[TexArcher 39072]

2 rounds each?

That last round was hard to judge IMO but I guess they think it went to Dustin

[smuggs 9397]

I don’t think Hooker can see anymore.

[Scraps 13800]

I think Dustin won a decision pretty easily

[TexArcher 39072]

48-47 Dustin.

FOTY candidate right there.  Awesome.

[tx 3 putt 78684]

good fight

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Badass fight. Conor kinda needs to just stay retired. 155 is stacked with or without him

[TexArcher 39072]

"You landed 76% of nearly 300 attempts tonight."

"I coulda been a little sharper."

Jesus, Dustin's ridiculous.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I just don’t know what you do with him. If Khabib wins, nobody wants to see that rematch.

So pink judge had that 4th round a 10-8 rd for Dustin. Wtf was I thinking when watching it live?

 

also

 

[BurdineBandit 846]

Dustin did his thing, gotta respect it. Felt like Hooker was out of the fight in the 4th and 5th. I was surprised they didn't remark on how he was scared to let his hands go. Compared to 1 and 2 when he had combos, body work, counter-punching.... He couldn't even throw a 1-2 without looking completely gassed in round 4. All takedown attempts. If it was boxing I would've guessed he broke a hand or something. 

[ss13 1832]

Wonder how many 5-round decisions have been lost by the guy that unanimously won the first two? Can’t be many. 

[ss13 1832]

More craziness. 

 

 

[smuggs 9397]

Perry's brain lobes are in a constant state of rolling brown-outs.

[Scraps 13800]

Burns has covid so he is out of main event v Usman.

[ss13 1832]

Goddamnit.

I was wondering what this was about 

[ss13 1832]

Volcanovski/Holloway & Yan/Aldo ain’t real massive. 

[TexArcher 39072]

Fucking 2020, man.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Too bad Masvidal has party mode vs fight ready mode.

He’s claiming he’s ready to fight right now if they wanna call him. So is Covington lol. I really would like to see them find a replacement instead of just booting this fight off the card. 

[Scraps 13800]

Usman didn't even fly. They aren't replacing the fight imo.

 

Best case scenario is one of those dudes step in like 2 weeks from now.

 

Even then I don't think Usman wants that smoke without a full training camp

 

[ss13 1832]

 

 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I'm afraid he's gonna get his ass kicked, and he has a built in excuse. But if he gets his payday, fuck it. It's what he's been fighting for.

[ss13 1832]

 

This is so blisteringly ridiculous. They couldn’t get a deal done with months to talk, but suddenly can in 24 hours? Whatever, more fights for us if it miraculously happens. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I wonder which side caved in negotiations. 

[Scraps 13800]

Yeah looks like they are definitely trying to make it happen.

Dana. Fight Island ain’t cheap, he needs those PPV buys. Volkanovski/Holloway don’t move the needle much.

That would make the most sense, but it doesn’t seem like something Dana would do lol. I thought he would just choose another cheaper welterweight out of spite. Either way, let’s fucking go 

[ss13 1832]

If it was in Vegas, doubt they’d even be trying to replace it. 

[Scraps 13800]

Looks like its on as long as no positive covid test.

This is the fight i would rather see, but man a weeks notice for each is kind of wack.

Hopefully it is still a fun fight

[TexArcher 39072]

They get their payday with a built-in excuse for the loser and a built-in marketing angle for the rematch (Let's see how much better so-and-so can do with a full camp). 

I like it.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Word is born.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Off topic, and probably not new - Brendan Schaub cot the Corona and his wife left him for cheating.

[ss13 1832]

Alright, no one get the fucking ‘Rona in the next 6 days.

I knew about the first thing. I didn’t know about his wife leaving him. He’s a fucking clown. He’s been talking like an idiot about covid for awhile now. 

[TexArcher 39072]

I can't really argue with anything Usman said in that video.  I mean, Masvidal's won 3 fights in a row, and good for him, but there's an awful lot of hype on a guy with 13 losses.  Usman is 16-1 and the 1 was almost a decade ago.   Usman by lopsided decision, something like 49-46.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I think Usman and Covington are pretty clearly the two best welterweights, but Burns hasn’t gotten his turn yet. For the most part I agree with you, but I still think it should be an entertaining fight. At least the first 3 rounds.

Cut him some slack. He's gotten a lot funnier having spent so much time with Theo Von on The King And The Sting.

 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Masvidal has to lose 21lbs in one week, and wasn't training specifically for this contingency.

Crank that excuse machine up early so the hype train doesn’t come to a complete stop. I respect it lol.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Usman has a cast on his left hand? Is that the one that he broke on Colby Covington's face?

Yeah.  Usman is pretty dominant in the division. 

 

I'm trying to draw parallels using the Covington fight.  Masvidal has sharper striking.  He's not as good wrestler, but was very good at neutralizing Maia's grappling.  (A fight that he should've won, and yes I realize Covington beat up Maia way worse...).  He's never shown stamina issues. 

 

I'd say if Usman establishes early his game of clinch and wrestling, it'll drain Masvidal and be an asswhooping.  If he stays conservative and cautious, Masvidal might just KO him. 

 

Maybe a -200 line for Usman?

[ss13 1832]

-300 in Vegas. 

Paige is +550.
