Deiveson Figueiredo missed weight, right? But why is out of the interim?

Fig is the champ. Has hand injuries so UFC does what UFC does and freaks out and says we need a retarded ass interim belt.

H-Town did not represent. 

[ztejas 44114]

Embarrassing stoppage. Fuck that Ruskie. 

[Scraps 13745]

Lewis gonna retire cause of that shit

[TexArcher 38816]

Quick stoppage, but Lewis has the option to not eat half a dozen hard shots in the first half a minute.  Yeah, a lot of them missed, but several didn't.  Whether he was out or not is debatable, but he was definitely getting overwhelmed.

I mean maybe he takes a vicious shot coming up but he was fine up to that point, and ultimately it's fucking MMA... you fight until you can't. 

Really disappointing especially coming off of the back of that 1R KO. 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Lewis has not shown a lot of heart lately, hard to think that the ref didn't think that he was surrendering. But that's not a ref's job.

It's the principle, though. I'm not sure any of us think he was going to somehow win that but we're talking about a sport that has a ton of integrity. Decisions like that don't help.

Guys turtle all the time.  Derrick went down face-first in a heap after taking several shots from a 260-pounder who can really throw.  

Throw back.  Wrap him up.  Do something other than get hit repeatedly and fall down face first.  Derrick bitching about that stoppage is basically saying, "Hey, he didn't kill me yet and I didn't tap!"  Okay, but it IS the ref's job to save you.  Maybe he was quick on the trigger, but Derrick did absolutely nothing to help his case for staying in that fight.

Again... it's the principle for me. It's about what the rules are. It isn't about that fight in particular or who was losing or winning up to that point. Lewis was clearly fine, but I also don't think he got robbed and I have zero issue with him losing. I just think it shouldn't have been stopped at that point. It's fine if we disagree. 

[Scraps 13745]

Fig did not get the weather report prior.

Sweater in Dallas in July....ok

[Scraps 13745]

Oh she had a bad knee injury :eyeroll:

[ztejas 44114]

Have to think Nunes takes this back here. 

[lonestar3 274]

Have to think Nunes takes this back here. 

You, me and Vegas

[Scraps 13745]

Have to think Nunes takes this back here. 

Longer it goes the better for Pena so if she can handle rd 1 i think she can beat her again....but thats a long 5 mins

[TexArcher 38816]

Yeah, it's probably Nunes by KO/TKO in rd 1 or 2, or it's Pena by decision or late rd sub.

Heart says Pena, brain says Nunes.

[TexArcher 38816]

Last 90 seconds were better for Pena, but that's gotta be a 10-9 for Nunes.

[Scraps 13745]

Agreed Nunes won the rd

[Scraps 13745]

Lol Pena running into punches is an interesting strategy

[JohnnyRage 1617]

That was an extremely unusual inside the ring face off after the interim title bout. Don't see that too often in the UFC. Then the guys didn't even sell the fight with trash talk, instead honoring the journey and the battle. Appropriate.

[ztejas 44114]

This is a great fight. 

Nunes 20-18 for me. 

[ztejas 44114]

Holy shit Pena almost won that. She's going to need a KO though. 

[TexArcher 38816]

Pena better bust out the flying armbar or something, because she's getting peppered everywhere.

[Scraps 13745]

Giving Pena opportunity for a submittal seems dumb.

It's gotten reaaaal close twice now. 

[Sandman 3427]

The blood pouring out of Pena's face looking like benadryl.

[ztejas 44114]

Heck of a fight. Round 3?

[Scraps 13745]

50-45....pena had her shots but didn't win a round

I thought she would be able to lock in a sub if it lasted that long

DC and Rogan are unbearable....not everything is locked in douchebags

[ztejas 44114]

50-45 for me. 

[Zepol87 9308]

Yea not close

[ztejas 44114]

50-43 lol c'mon man... 

[TexArcher 38816]

Pena fought through a lot of adversity and kept it interesting to the end.

But credit to Nunes and her entire camp.  That was a master class in going back to the video of a loss and correcting everything.

[52-80 19375]

Haha fuck city kickboxing 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Been trying to understand these two...

 

 

[BigOrange1 6608]

so november 12th at msg is gonna be adesanya/pereira and chandler/poirier.  not shabby.

[TexArcher 38816]

Holy shit, Bryan Battle just became a knockout artist?  Brutal head kick.

[TexArcher 38816]

Then he told a story in the interview about how somebody gave him 10 dollars to gamble with and he put it in a machine and quadrupled it and made $75.  

Then he called out Ian Garry, which is even dumber.

I remember that uppercut sequence from my Nintendo days.

[TexArcher 38816]

4th nice KO of the night.

 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Did he have to Ch. 4 Theo Von?

[Scraps 13745]

This main event should be a knockout too
Hill is still in the running for worst tats in UFC

[Scraps 13745]

Herb dean fault.

You got to put them in same position dummy
