Money in the mother fucking bank. Aljo money line baby

[Hermanator 7032]

Props to Sterling. He was going to lose the first fight. He came back and deserved this win. 

[Zeus 6014]

Female judges lmao

[Hermanator 7032]

I'm digging Sterling turning heel here

[TexArcher 37767]

I'm not sure how you win a 5-round fight on 2 takedowns, but whatever.

[Zeus 6014]

Round 1 was very close. Neither guy did much and when you don't do much you leave it to the judges to decide if the little you did was enough. For Yan it wasn't. 

[Zeus 6014]

What a joke lol Slavs are as retarded as new yorkers war EPOshaw I guess

[Scraps 13561]

Yeah Yan didn't do shit either. Overall the fight was lame

[Coach pop a bitch 5459]

Did yan say he won the second? That fool left a lot of meat on the bone. He deserved to lose

[JohnnyRage 1617]

That last fight was not boring.

That's fair.  Yan is a notoriously slow starter and it cost him tonight.  I still think he won the first round.  Octagon control matters and Yan was pursuing while Aljo retreated.  If neither guy landed much, that round is supposed to go to the aggressor.  But maybe I need to see it again.

I mean, I really don't care if I ever see another Aljamain Sterling fight.  He's extremely skilled at neutralizing what the other guy wants to do and getting the fight into positions where he (Aljo) wants it.  But god damn, he makes me wish I hadn't quit smoking so I could go outside for half an hour until the next fight.

Yeah 135 is unwatchable there's Dilly, Sandhagen, and O'Molly and they are all goofs

Zombie looks like he could do your taxes

Sterling got categorized as a bitch after accepting that first fight win. The two rounds you call boring, he completely dominated his opponent. Yan turned it around though. I didn't know who won.

[Scraps 13561]

Vegemite sucks. Go Zombie

[Zeus 6014]

Imagine picking all favorites in a fixed sport

Zero damage isn't dominating. They should stand it back up when you are just stalling. Never got close to a submission and didn't throw any meaningful strikes.

Oh and he's still a bitch

The whole stadium boo him after the fight because he's a bitch

I can't think of a gay-er walkout song.

Wrestling is a major part of this competition. 

There's no shame in just enjoying boxing. I love watching boxing too. You wouldn't have to worry about wrestling offending you there. 

[Scraps 13561]

Zombie in quicksand

[TexArcher 37767]

This first round was a little easier to score than the last one.

[Scraps 13561]

That was domination

Disagree.

[Hermanator 7032]

Volkanovski is just too good for Jung. Big mismatch. 

I felt pretty certain Holloway won their first fight but Volkanovski has been a beast ever since. Those submissions get escaped from Ortega were ridiculous 

[TexArcher 37767]

Man, his corner could stop this for him.  Zombie's a tough mother, but damn, he's not turning this around.

[Scraps 13561]

Corners got to be better

Drive home safely. 

[TexArcher 37767]

Yeah, that's enough.  Not sure why he needed to eat those extra shots.

Volkanovski is ridiculous.

[Hermanator 7032]

Volkanovski came on too late but would have loved to see him and pre-Mayweather McGregor throw down. 

[Zeus 6014]

BIG WINNERS:

- Volkanovski

- Chimaev

- Burns

- Dern

- Malott

 

BIG LOSERS:

- Sterling

- Korean Zombie

- Garry

- Ladd

Volkanovski vs winner of Charles Olivera and Gaethje at 155. Book it.

Volk is like 5'5" he wants no part of those guys not a chance

[Hermanator 7032]

I don't believe that at all. Gastelum was the interim champ at 185 at 5'9" and gave Adesanya a war. Volkanovski was playing pro rugby at over 210 lbs. 

McGregor held both 145 and 155 simultaneously. If Volkanovski wants to prove he's up on that level and challenge himself that's the next step. No one at 145 outside of Holloway would be a challenge for him at this point.

SUNY Cortland Red Dragon for the win!

Did Khamzat win?

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Yes, great fight. 3-0.

[BurdineBandit 815]

Didn't expect Aljo to out wrestle Yan that bad. If he can do that to the #1 contender then he deserves the belt. Colby wishes he could do that to a champ.

 

Khamzat got tested, what a great fight. Respect to Durinho. And if Kahmzat is showing that he's just about even on Burns' level, then he's not on Usman's level.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Dana did not like (or agree with) that aljo decision. Feel like you don’t usually see him that vocal about his opinion in what was clearly a close fight 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I'm pretty sure there were already some tensions there which caused Dana to put on an interim championship fight.

[Hermanator 7032]

Anybody watch Bellator? Big rematch tonight between McKee and Pitbull on Showtime. Wish we could get the winner of that vs Volkanovski. But too much greed to ever stage co-promotions. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15949]

And Showtime is free this weekend for those that don’t already have it. Main card at 9.

[shadow_operative2.0 15949]

Main event next. 

[Hermanator 7032]

I always hated it in boxing when guys would walk in with a rapper. Hate it here too. Therefore gotta go with Pitbull to win. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15949]

Pitbull gets the strap back.
