crazyguy michael pereira is also fighting this weekend.

i got gane, and lets go brandon

[JohnnyRage 1617]

The crowd hates Figueiredo. Seems odd to not space another fight in between their third straight fight.

Makes me kind of want an upset.

His behavior in the lead-up to the fight is janky. Just too fake-aggro

[TexArcher 37774]

I think the main event is a wrong-guy-favored situation.  Cyril's a good fighter, but I don't think Francis should be an underdog to anybody right now.  Predator by TKO, rd 2.

[TexArcher 37774]

Holy shit, what a beating.

[Scraps 13561]

Frank Trigg looking fat as fuck

[Longhorn94 2448]

Link?

[TexArcher 37774]

Little guys brought it.  That was a war.

Betting dudes were talking about how there might be some back room dealing with the judges because of Ngannou (sp) ducking fights or not scheduling one sooner. i.e. UFC might want the belt to move along.

(Obviously that only matters if it goes decision - but could be a factor. Or just tin foil shit. Who knows)

Well, that's pretty silly.  A) The judges work for the sanctioning athletic commission, not the UFC, and B) I don't think anyone thinks Francis can win this by decision anyway.

That sounds like a nightmare.

I think your latter point is more germane. Let's not pretend like athletic commissions don't have a history of suspect decisions.

For the record - yes I think it's a silly reason for the line to be "off" but we're talking combat sports betting lines. All you need is enough people dumb enough to buy that angle to nudge it in a certain direction. 

[Scraps 13561]

That sounds like a nightmare.

I mean its pretty much the same as the telecast i guess lmao

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Helluva start to the PPV. 

[Scraps 13561]

Cop beatdown

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Fuck, don’t blink. 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

That was a sick guillotine.

[Scraps 13561]

Flippy time

[TexArcher 37774]

Man, that was a good scrap.

[Zepol87 9185]

This should be good 

[ztejas 43418]

Here for the title fights guys. You know me - die hard UFC fan. 

[TexArcher 37774]

Daveison gets his revenge, I think.

[ztejas 43418]

I like this lil Mexican. Go NA. 

[TexArcher 37774]

Oh, man, if there were 30 more seconds in that round that might have been the end right there.

Good fight.

[ztejas 43418]

That's a right, G.

[ztejas 43418]

Tight decision. Who y'all got?

[TexArcher 37774]

I've got it 3-2 for Daveison.  DC and Rogan seemed pretty biased for Moreno, but he swung and missed more than anything else and he got knocked down twice.

[Scraps 13561]

I'm probably behind cause my stream keeps glitching backward but I think it may be And New.....close fight though so nothing would surprise me

Yeah I think that's straight. On stream so it might lag a bit. Moreno decision would have been a bit questionable. 

[ztejas 43418]

Dog is that Christopher Nolan with the translation?

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Very tight decision. I think it’s right. Hate to see a title fight go to decision.

[Scraps 13561]

Rogan cut him off jesus

[ztejas 43418]

Dude Joe's pecs and bis are getting out of control. Mans needs to chill on the elk testicles or whatever he's eating. 

[BigOrange1 6436]

awesome fucking fight.

[Scraps 13561]

I just don't get the hype here. I think Francis piefaces this dude.

I don't trust a dude with 10 fights. Especially a stinky Frenchman. 

[Scraps 13561]

I mean i get he moves better than most fat ass HWs, but man when Francis connects its over

[Zeus 6018]

Smoke too much weed?

Cereal Gone

Gonna win easily, hopefully Game v. Jones is next.

DC thanking God he's calling this and not fighting either of these guys

[ztejas 43418]

This is the purest competition on the planet right now. Change my mind.

[TexArcher 37774]

Francis Rousey??

[ztejas 43418]

I'll be dead and buried before I recognize a French MMA champion.

Cmon, Francine!

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Big man sweep!

[ztejas 43418]

Ngannou gonna take this on decision I think. 

[TexArcher 37774]

Gotta be 3-2 for Ngannou.

Cyril really fucked up on the ground there.  I'm not even sure why he took it there to begin with.  Francis looked slow from the start and Cyril definitely had a lot more left in the tank in rd 5.  Felt like he could've just peppered his way to an easy round on the feet and a W.

[Scraps 13561]

Should be 48-47 Francis
