Rockhold went with the give him AIDS strategy there at the end. 

That was one of the strangest f'n things I've seen. Good brawl, but that was fucked up. 

[Surly Bevo 24696]

At first thought he was biting him.  No....just giving him some sweet sweet HIV

[Surly Bevo 24696]

I....I....I'm fucking old.  

 

Hillarious

[TexArcher 37524]

I don't like Rockhold, but he's tough as shit.

[ztejas 43266]

That was a great fucking fight and I'm with Tex - I thought he'd go down in the first 60s of the 2nd. He threw some shots too - made Costa earn it. 

[ztejas 43266]

What you got Edwards... 

[TexArcher 37524]

Leon Edwards +285 is ridiculous.  He shouldn't even be that big an underdog against Ditka.

I don't know enough to dispute it but it doesn't seem ridiculous to me.

Alright you might be onto something...

This is the best fucking sport in the world. 

 

[Surly Bevo 24696]

1-1 after 2.

[ztejas 43266]

Fucking Joe Rogan.

"He's not a division 2 national champion"

Like that means fucking anything in UFC. Tell that to one of those Russian dudes. 

"Hey bro I was NCAA individual champion in D2"

[ztejas 43266]

That was close to a 10-8. Edwards is in trouble. 

[ztejas 43266]

I fucking love this guy in Edwards corner haha. 

[ztejas 43266]

Meh. Ties Silva. Congrats. Blah blah blah. 

Too many guys just dominating their class right now. 

[TexArcher 37524]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[Surly Bevo 24696]

HOLY SHIT

[speed817 19115]

Got sent to the Shadow Realm....

[Blotto 23434]

That was a fucking bomb. Love seeing that shit out of nowhere.

[TexArcher 37524]

That was beautiful.  Disguised the kick as a punch and convincingly.

[ztejas 43266]

Well I didn't see that coming. 

Holy shit. 

[TexArcher 37524]

Kumaru to 185 to fight Izzy, please and thank you.

No way. Izzy would beat that ass. Too much length. 

[KeysPhoneWallet 807]

Wow talk about a lucky shot. Lose all fight then rock the knock out

[BigOrange1 6422]

fucking shocking ending.  i still can't believe that happened.

[TexArcher 37524]

Agreed.  But Kumaru might want to be a two division champ and he certainly can't go down.  Dude probably walks around at 200.

Nothing lucky about it. He went 4+ with Usman and took him down multiple times. He was in that position to KO him for a reason. 

[ztejas 43266]

Joe's a cheeseball but he's right - there's nothing like this. 

[BigOrange1 6422]

the rematch immediately becomes the biggest fight ufc can make right?  i guess jon jones/ngannou could have an argument but i can't really think of anything else.

[Zeus 5950]

Very similar to my pre fight KO on ufc4

Izzy has to get past the next fight first. The guy that KO’d him last in kickboxing. Can’t remember his name at the moment. 

[52-80 19097]

The smacking sound on that kick was delicious. War leon!

“P4P. Headshot! Dead! That’s it!”

legendary post fight interview with Rogan 

[JohnnyRage 1617]

I missed it, but watched the last three rounds. That was an asswhoopin'. 

But then Herb Dean broke up the grappling for being boring, and then Usman bitched about the lowish kick. He accepted the rest, but his opponent also rested and then finally advanced.

I was shocked waking up and checking ESPN, I'm just as shocked after watching the last three rounds. No, a rematch is not the biggest fight for UFC because Usman doesn't draw. Masvidal, Diaz II, or Chimaev would all be just as big, hell I guess even Covington, and that's just in his weight class.

Aren't they basically Nigerian brothers? They won't ever fight just like that kid that beat Aldo isn't fighting his buddy Sterling. 

[52-80 19097]

Also Usman can't just fight the MW champion, going up a weight class and having been just KO'd flat (not just TKO).  Better match is Sean Strickland or Jack Hermansson, both are strong wrestlers/grapplers, and both of whom just recently fought, with strickly also coming from a loss.

Dana wants to do a show in UK in the Spring.  Leon can enjoy his victory until then.  Colby fights Khamzat for title challenger, then winner gets a shot in the UK.  Perfect scenario. 

[TexArcher 37524]

I'm not saying Kumaru/Izzy immediately.  Yeah, Kumaru would have to beat two or three guys at that weight.  I think he'd wreck Sean Strickland.  Might be the most boring fight of all-time, but I think he'd win it.

The point was that he's huge for 170 and he's very concerned with being perceived as the GOAT.  Well, then go conquer 185 instead of climbing the 170 mountain again.

[JohnnyRage 1617]

Haven’t the fighters themselves always ruled that fight out because of an Africa friendship thing? But money talks…

Hell yeah, I've got the prelims on.  A couple of good KO's already.

[Scraps 13543]

Last two fights about to start

[TexArcher 37524]

Looks like Vettori's left hand is hurt, maybe from blocking one of those high kicks.  He keeps pressing on his left knuckles with his other hand, like he's trying to see how hurt he is.  And he didn't throw it for at least the last 3 minutes of rd 2.

[Scraps 13543]

That was......not close

[TexArcher 37524]

This fool's coming out to Lady Marmalade, lulz...

[Scraps 13543]

Lol at Tua coming out to fucking Lady Marmalade

[Scraps 13543]

Damn he tried to bait him and missed

[TexArcher 37524]

I haven't been a Cyril fan, but gawd damn that was impressive.
