5 0 ReplyHOLY SHIT
5 0 ReplyIn before Adelaide Byrd has this 5-0 Moreno like she did for Canelo
5 0 ReplyFunny given how much damage Moreno has dished out, but this might be 3-1 Pantoja (I have it 2-2 though)

5 0 Replyhas such short hair, yet still has to move it out of his eyes.
5 0 ReplyI just got food delivered and HEARD the KO. Christ
5 0 ReplyHooker reminds me of Rory MacDonald at the end of his career

5 0 ReplyMoreno likely going to be involved in yet another rematch.
4 0 ReplyHoly moly! Did not see that coming. Let's go Lawler!
4 0 ReplyI know people give Bellator grief, but I much prefer the rapid fire approach to their prelims, even if it means a ~30 minute break before the main card. I just hate all this downtime between fights.
4 0 ReplyI would have stopped that a bit sooner.
4 0 Replyfun scrambling to start this fight.
4 0 Replyawesome way to end it!
4 0 ReplyI think with this community being so small that putting up the thread a little early is a good idea. If people show up early, they will know there is/will be a live thread. Plus it serves as a little pregame thread.
4 0 ReplyThis might be the closest 49-46 ever. Definitely need a rematch (Moreno god of rematches)
4 0 ReplyThat was a wild fight. What a great night this has bene.
4 0 ReplyHow the fuck is Hooker still standing

4 0 ReplyGot the new lady friend coming over to watch. Got the wine. Got the Prarie Brewing beers. Making Thai chicken wings. Let's fucking go boys
4 0 ReplyThai chicken wings, how you make those?
3 0 ReplyI use the serious eats "oven fried wings" recipe to prep then cook them in the air fryer. When there's about 3mins left I pull them, toss in a sauce made of neutral oil, lime juice, smashed ginger and garlic, fish sauce, and sambal. Then finish cooking them. They're fucking amazing.

Great round for Moreno! Pantoja is fading
4 0 ReplyNoooo! Great performance from DDP. Sad for Whittaker, but ddp v Izzy will be more interesting

3 0 Replycrazy fight. back and forth.
3 0 Replyreal african fighter, you know this brother
3 0 ReplyWhittaker got this
3 0 ReplyHe cut him. Now to see how bad it is.
3 0 ReplyGnarly cut but wont effect his vision
3 0 ReplyHaven't seen Nickal's opponents tape, wonder what his strategy is gonna be
3 0 ReplyWeight bully edged the first round

3 0 ReplyPantoja may have shot his wad.
3 0 Replythat camera continuing to fall lol
3 0 ReplyThe takedowns are going to decide this fight.
3 0 ReplyThat takedown might win him the fight.
Edit: or not
3 0 ReplyJesus fuck. Who ever has their hands that fucking low in a fight?

3 0 ReplyCan't wait for Petrino vs Prachnio, the fight I'm most excited for.
3 0 ReplyAnyone else a little afraid for Bobby later?
Sure he is more skilled, but Dricus has a strange way of losing most of his fights until he suddenly wins.
Wait what? Wooooooow.
3 0 ReplyI hope those 205ers are gonna bang.
3 0 ReplyUFC has the worst freaking pacing. There is no way this should take 6 hours to get through the card. Ridiculous.
3 0 ReplyCool fight, now back to waiting 😞
3 0 ReplyDude stop that.
Damn that was a little too late for my tastes.
3 0 ReplyPetrino is built like a brick shit house.

3 0 Replyhe got that tap.
3 0 ReplyWell since we have so much downtime, What fight are you guys most stoked for?
3 0 Replythree straight kicks
3 0 ReplyThe reason this shit takes so long is because the UFC sells timeslots to different networks in the same damn event.
Imagine watching Cowboys vs. Eagles and after the first quarter you have to change it from CBS to NBC.
It's 2023 and we're still doing this shit. It's fuckin' crazy.
3 0 Replyviolence tonight.
3 0 ReplyTrading in the pocket Lets go!!!
3 0 Replyyall volk/yair is next.... bad ass fight night!
3 0 ReplyOff topic: No idea if anyone here watches the CFL. A QB was hurt exactly one year ago today. Today was his first game back. He went down with a non contact injury.
Sports are brutal at times.
3 0 ReplyThat girl is brutal.
And I agree with the stoppage.
3 0 ReplySeemed like every time Moreno landed an elbow Pantoja would take him down
3 0 ReplyTwo fights left on the undercard with an hour to go. Oof!
3 0 ReplyIs there any chance main event will disappoint us?
3 0 ReplyWhat a brawl. I think Pantoja takes it, but who the hell knows with the judges?
3 0 ReplyVolk going all "levels to this shit" right now.
3 0 Replyemotional night
3 0 ReplyCan't Be Touched

2 0 ReplyFuuuuck I love this, Pantoja!!!
2 0 ReplyAnother fight where there would have been a finish if it lasted another 30 seconds.
2 0 ReplyHoly shit
2 0 ReplyPantoja won this, atleast 3 rounds for him
2 0 Replytook his ranking and now he seems he's going to retire. :(
2 0 ReplyI hope this ends in a snoozefest decision, it would make for a truly unforgettable card.
2 0 ReplyHe is exhausted
2 0 ReplyI know they all moved to different camps, but Robbie is the last of the Miletich guys right?
2 0 ReplyGlad I didn't skip the earlies.
2 0 ReplyHangman omg!
2 0 Reply2-2 or 3-1 moreno
2 0 ReplyAfter this fight Bruce will say "and still undefeated".
2 0 ReplyIs it starting late because the Jack Della fight is off?
2 0 ReplyStarting now

The jacket that guy was wearing was pretty damn nice.
2 0 ReplyMoreno has the same voice as Cris Cyborg lol
2 0 ReplyHe's still flat on his back. scary
2 0 ReplyIs his leg bleeding?

2 0 ReplyChairez corner is in denial.
2 0 ReplyDamn, two right hooks
2 0 ReplyBobby Petrino
2 0 ReplyHoly SHIT hahahahaha
2 0 ReplySmart thing for Pantoja right now would be to go for a takedown. He might get knocked out otherwise
2 0 Reply"I hate that rule. It's so dumb... I'm a bear" perfect segue.
2 0 ReplyHe has a foot/fence fetish.
2 0 ReplyDickus Kickus
2 0 ReplyAnd there it begins, the wrestler starts to fall in love with his hands.

2 0 ReplyPenn State guy coming out to Zombie Nation. Perfect
2 0 ReplyHa. If only Chairez had 30 more seconds.
2 0 ReplyRobbie Lawler is moving his mouth weird when he speaks.
2 0 Replythat was a huge hit.
2 0 ReplyDoes that mean we get Byrd for this fight?
2 0 Replyoh boy
2 0 ReplyHerb and his strong warnings that never result in loss of points…
2 0 ReplyPretty sure Moreno broke his hand somewhere in that fight. He didn't throw the right in the fifth once.
2 0 ReplyCut in the same place as Whittaker.
2 0 ReplyDC is talking about Thomas Almeida, isn't he?
2 0 ReplyMan wtf
2 0 ReplyBeautiful how Volk is just floating on top no matter how Rodriguez twists and turns.
2 0 ReplyNice round for the champ.
2 0 ReplyHerb angry. Never make Herb angry.

1 0 ReplyWhat is going on???
1 0 ReplyTaira hype!
1 0 ReplyVery natty arm veins on Du Plessis
1 0 ReplyAnyone know what’s going on with Volk’s cheek? He’s had a band aid on it for a few days now.
1 0 ReplyWhen I see those big dudes I kinda don't want to see Bobby ever to move up to 205.
1 0 ReplyI did not see THAT coming.
1 0 ReplyJust placed a $20 parlay on Bo, Robert, Brandon, Jalin and Yair. I never win these dumb bets, but it would be a fun payoff.
