Same here. People probably thought the Khabib fight started at 1 and rushed it lol.

I’m watching from a laptop and it’s fine on my end.

[TexArcher 38119]

Thanks for coming!!

 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Haha what a debut. 

[TexArcher 38119]

Add him to the very long list of guys I don't want to ever get hit by.  Jesus.

[hundredTT 578]

Cmon Big Ticket. Always root for this guy, can’t imagining losing a daughter the way he did. 

[Sandman 3420]

My stream got 86'd. WTF crackstreams??

Yeah, he's a good guy with a tough story.

I like Volkov, too, though.

[hundredTT 578]

what a kick! You heard that scream from Harris.

It’s a humanizing thing to see. I feel like everyone has been hit really good in the solar plexus at least one time, and it is the worst possible feeling. The way these guys play it off most of the time is crazy to me.

had an instructor dig his fucking heel into mine when he did a spinning backkick .  i was curled up in a ball for about 5 minutes. 

[52-80 19274]

cannonier getting pieced up.  didnt bring enough magic crystals with him

[52-80 19274]

hit him with the most beautiful combination of the night.  left jab, right straight, and immediate headkick after.  damn.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Whittaker almost blew it there at the end, but that was dominant 

[hundredTT 578]

Here we go! 

[Chapo 104]

I'm super nervous, half way around the world from the fight.

[TexArcher 38119]

Head: Khabib by takedown and maul decision.

Heart: Gaethje by the KO of the year.

[Scraps 13585]

Destruction. Not even close

[52-80 19274]

jesus.  dominant.  i cannot believe.  christ.  the take down ability is insane.  justin after the 1st was exhausted like he's fought 4 rounds

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

Khabib ain’t half-bad. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

I had to refresh my my stream right before the finish. I just saw the replay 

[52-80 19274]

gsp isnt coming back.  khabib needs to submit usman and retire 30-0 as the greatest ever

[Scraps 13585]

Hes gonna retire

[TexArcher 38119]

Gaethje had some moments: several leg kicks and a hard left.  Khabib is just too much.  

Class from Gaethje to get choked all the way out and like 60 seconds later he's congratulating Khabib who's crying for his late father.  

[hundredTT 578]

This is a Jordan crying after his dad died after winning the championship moment. Khabib is the goat. And Gaethje is fucking class, heard his interviews before and he’s a legit good person. 

[hundredTT 578]

Damn what a speech getting dusty in here. Both are such fucking class acts. Great moment for the sport. 

[52-80 19274]

so....who the fuck fights for the vacant title now? 

 

1,3,4,5 all lost their last LW match.   conor does not deserve to sniff it.

 

PLEASE let Do Bronx oliveira have his shot

Shame I came a Khabib "fan" before this fight and now hes done. I rooted for him hard vs. Conor, but lately I've actually listened to him and I admire how much character and dignity he displays. 

[hundredTT 578]

And a lot say they are gonna retire and come back. But he def seems like a man of his word, especially with the father stuff. He is done. He is the best I’ve ever seen, and peaking. A shame, but I get it.  

[Hermanator 7199]

Given just how in form and high level Gaethje is and how emotionally crippling it must have been without his father, that might have been the most impressive performance of Khabib's career. Just walked through him like a lion attacking a gazelle. Gonna miss watching his fights since I first saw him give Barboza the thousand yard stare. Sucks that he's done but can't blame him.

I imagine it’ll be Gaethje v winner of Porier/Connor because a Connor title fight will always put Him at the front of the line. Shit they might just make that fight the title fight. I think Gaethje has to be part of it because of he was the interm champ, but who knows.

Would not shock me one bit if they did the Dustin/Conor fight for title lol. Dana already said that fight makes no sense at 170.

 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Cool to see a “wrestler” throw on a triangle. Yeah, I know he is a sambo guy.

[shadow_operative2.0 16046]

Anyone with ESPN+ can watch the whole PPV card again here shortly. 

 

 

[52-80 19274]

Before the fight, Dana said he had a "big surprise" to announce.  After the fight, when asked about the surprised, he coyly brushed it off.

Also following the event, Ariel immediately phoned GSP for a 30 minute video interview.  Ariel pressed him a few times about the possibility of a Khabib match, and in as friendly and honest manner as is possible for GSP, he all but gave away the hint that that was originally planned.

All my betting money says that had Khabib not retired in the octagon, Dana would've gifted him the match on the spot. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Brutal sport. Apparently he broke it in the first round blocking one of Whittaker’s kicks in the first round. I know this has happened to several fighters, but I can’t even imagine what that would be like.

took away his blocking, took away his jab and setup... and he didnt complain.  what a fucking trooper.  not a knock against whittaker but now you have to imagine What If...

I’m surprised it doesn’t happen more often. I feel like it lands flush on the forearm pretty often. I would think that would break it.

supposedly he blocked kick while his arm was extended, rather than tucked up against the head for some absorption

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

I think the gnarliest break was Anderson Silva’s shin. That was fucked up.

I liked when Tim Sylvia’s dumbass didn’t want to tap to an armbar Frank amor slapped on him and ended up breaking his forearm.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Mir. Not amor.

Speaking of broken arms, DC says Khabib did Justin a favor. 

Quote

Khabib Nurmagomedov closed out his MMA career in style Saturday with a victory and, according to his teammate, an act of compassion.

Nurmagomedov successfully defended his UFC lightweight championship by finishing Justin Gaethje with a second-round triangle. He used that submission rather than the armbar he initially had set up, American Kickboxing Academy training partner Daniel Cormier said on Monday, because Nurmagomedov did not want to injure Gaethje in front of Gaethje's parents.

"He told me when he was watching the interviews over the course of the week, he saw that Justin said that he would never tap," Cormier, who was an analyst on the UFC 254 telecast, told ESPN's Ariel Helwani on the DC & Helwani program. "He was going to do the armbar, but he had heard Justin saying all week that he would never tap, and he didn't want to hurt him in front of his parents. So he went to the triangle and just kind of put him to sleep."

A fighter who does not tap out while stuck in an armbar or other joint manipulation runs the risk of having the limb broken, while a choke with no tapout renders the fighter unconscious. "If I put him to sleep," Cormier said Nurmagomedov told him, "he'll wake up and everything will be OK."

I saw that yesterday. I’m calling bullshit.
