This dudes "Thumbs up" tats always crack me up

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Hill seems a little too loose before the bout.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Gut wrenching

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

God damn this fight sucks. Just retire, Maia. It’s time. Great career. But it’s time to hang it up 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I'm pausing, waiting on a friend. No spoilers guys.

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

Good luck.

I suggest not clicking in this thread then lol. Probably your best bet 

[kingkoopa6 8332]

nate gotta stay on his feet to win this 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Edwards isn’t making any new fans tonight if he’s fighting this conservative. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

Spoiler

Decent ending, but that shit should not have been 25 minutes. 

[BurdineBandit 815]

I know this board hates Nate Diaz, but fuck it, that's exactly why he's the fan favorite. He isn't the best boxer, isn't fast enough or even have enough pop, but he knows his game and is decent enough at boxing timing, and will just try to wear the person in front of him out until the technical aspects are no longer a factor. He had Leon cross-eyed for about 7 seconds there and just pointed at him and laughed instead of rushing to finish him off. I don't understand it, but I kinda do.

Not sure this is true. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Yeah, I don’t think this board hates any Diaz.

[BurdineBandit 815]

My bad, maybe it was Conor fanboys during their 2 fights. "I coulda swore..."

MMA has become full contact WWE. Some people love the heel, some love the hero. There are very few universally loved fighters because most of them are shitty people just trying to make a living in a sport where they are paid horribly.

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

Boom, got that shit locked in this time. 

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Let’s fucking go 

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

Kill me with the fucking interviews last two fights, shit. 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Hey guys, Nate's looked like shit, but has him wobbled in the 5th!

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

JohnnyRage hates Nate!

Jinx 

Well, your second line was correct. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Vetturi’s wrestling and BJJ for the level he is fighting at is bad.

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

 

 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I don't know why Nate didn't pounce on him, had him dead to rights. Seemed like he gave him forever to recover.

Hate Moreno's voice, but great story. I need to go back and rewatch. I'm surprised.

Fuck that last fight, for all of the animosity it was a dud. Israel could have chosen to stick his neck out there for a finish but didn't. He's still one of my favorite fighters. But his antics and personality grow harder to take after 3 boring fights.

That first fight still has the nightmares.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Thanks @shadow_operative2.0, obviously was kidding about the spoilers.

He’s going bald. There is a fair and just God.

[smuggs 9346]

The Stockton Slap got me off the couch. Nate looked bloated, old and slow but goddamn I was jumping around there at the end.

[smuggs 9346]

Chris Weidman is playing fucking golf already. 7 weeks from a rubber leg:

Zombie wins but he's lost a step

[Bill Brasky 1439]

damn there were some solid knockouts and bloodbaths tonight 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Just watched in on ESPN+, good card

[Scraps 13554]

So not sure the full in's and out's of this, but from what I gather....Dana is being a dick again and since Francis wasn't ready to jump at a title defense in July or August they are doing an interim HW belt for some pointless reason.  

Black Beast v Gane in Houston Aug 7th UFC 265.

Jesus Christ, Schilling went psycho on that little dude at the end of that first video above.  Wow.

[52-80 19128]

i guess you dont bark at a person twice your size wearing a shirt that literally says "ring. cage.  parking lot."

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

Probably pretty good words to live by. 

[52-80 19128]

also noticed that after joe turned to him, the guy actually initiated a head feint at him.  cant say it was undeserved.....

[shadow_operative2.0 15881]

Unfortunately, he had to eventually use the ‘scared for my life’ bullshit.

What a shit role for Francis in F9...

Magnets

[Scraps 13554]

Lmao

[52-80 19128]

niko price vs michel pereira might be the best fight this weekend

sneaky good

[TankedBevo 2482]

Crack streams looks to have switched to a different working url that I can't find. If anyone has the hook up for tonight expect a rep fest coming your way

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Yeah I obligated myself to some other stuff, so I'll be coming in hot at about 9:20 looking for a link. So unfortunately, I'll miss the first fight that has the best 'Rocky' narrative.

Gonna split this cost of this one instead.
