8 0 ReplySick head kick! Looks like I’ve missed a few good fights skipping the undercard.

I love derrick Lewis
7 0 ReplyI'm glad he is up and with it again. Dayum
6 0 Replyran right through him.
5 0 ReplyCouple of great fights to start the night!
5 0 ReplyHoly shit
4 0 ReplyTony trying to get in a slugfest.... from the bottom
4 0 ReplyYeah that was just a brawl for a bit there.
2 0 Reply
I love Lewis lmfao
4 0 ReplyIt's absolutely unreal the shit that somebody the size of Derrick Lewis pulls off. Flying knees, jumping switchkicks... absolutely terrifying.
4 0 ReplyThe thought of a dude who is 6'3 and 265lbs+ being able to do a flying knee is terrifying
5 0 Reply
Green by sub was not on my bingo card.
I hope Tony retires rather than getting cut and going to some other org for more CTE.
4 0 ReplyHey Google, what would "achy breaky heart" look like as a MMA fighter?
4 0 ReplyHoly shit Lewis is a savage.
4 0 ReplyTHE BLACK BEAST!!
4 0 ReplyOH MY GOD DERRICK LEWIS
4 0 ReplyGot him with the Jorge masvidal opening.
4 0 ReplyKeep an eye out around 11PM ET for the Bellator X Rizin 2 live thread. We’ll give dueling threads a shot tonight and see how it goes.
Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!
4 0 ReplyTony has landed 100 headbutts against Bobby's fist, bold strategy
4 0 ReplyTony breaking Bobbys hand. CSO
3 0 Replyit's a next level strat.
1 0 Reply
This is the opposite of what I wanted to see. Tony is eating a lot of shots.
4 0 ReplyTony went from "oh his BJJ could match Khabib"
...to lookin' like a blue belt all night long.
Didn't defend or fight that arm triangle for one second.
4 0 ReplyTony has nothing more to give, really wish he would retire. I’m sad he hasn’t got the best prospects for post-fighting careers though. I don’t think he’s going to be good at commentary with the amount of CTE he’s got now. He won’t be in high demand as a coach because he’s so whacky with his style rather than being a technician. Feels bad man.
4 0 ReplyThe spirit of El Cucuy has left him. All that is left is a body with insane pain tolerance and the determination to try again.
3 0 ReplyAgreed. He’ll probably end up as a token unorthodox sparring partner in some random gym.
EDIT: I don’t mean this disrespectfully, I just can’t see the dude leaving fighting behind.
2 0 ReplyHonestly that sounds like a nicer retirement for him than some outcomes. The truck incident makes me worry for him and what will happen once the spotlight is gone.
2 0 Reply
He doesn't even look competent as a grappler anymore either.
2 0 Reply
I was there when Derrick Lewis did this.
4 0 ReplyGOOD LORD
4 0 Replyyeah 911, I just witnessed a murder
4 0 ReplyI was waiting for one of those to connect and then I looked away for two seconds.. but the sound.
1 0 Reply
That sound almost made me feel bad.
4 0 ReplyI remember when Rumble hit DC with a punch. It sounded like a baseball bat.
3 0 ReplyDerrick Lewis smashing Roy Nelson and Roy just eats it is way up there too. Sounded like a damn shotgun.
2 0 Reply
Heel went straight into the balls, Rogan is tripping.
What an idiot.
3 0 ReplyHe didn't used to be this bad but these days I feel like he is wrong about this type of thing all of the time.
3 0 ReplyAnd he cannot let it go once he gets going.
3 0 Reply
Heel was to the side. Not on the balls.
2 0 ReplyCan't agree.
2 0 Reply
Letsssss fugggingggggg goooooooooooooooo
3 0 ReplyHello fellow mma aficionado
3 0 ReplyHOLY SHIT
3 0 ReplySomebody on the other site posted: The name Miranda Maverick sounds like a patriotic pornstar.
3 0 ReplyAnd she even Brazil tapped to end it. Cut this bitch. Good riddance Cachoeira.
3 0 ReplyExactly! She did the Brazil tap twice actually.
1 0 Reply
You hear the roar in there? It's a lot of people for the prelims but the sound in the Delta Center in SLC is shit. It has no sound treatment so it is loud AF. They used to put the decibel level on the screen during Jazz playoff games so I think they intentionally make it loud as hell in there by not using any sound treatment.
3 0 ReplyI guess that is kinda nice at an NBA game to get some noice.
1 0 ReplyIt definitely adds to it. Watching from home, it sounds awesome. Trying to watch a concert in there, you have to wear earplugs and if you aren't on the floor, it sounds like loud ass with an echo lol.
1 0 Reply
Good back and forth between Semelsberger and Medic. Semelsberger starting to look a little Salt Lake City tired after all of this body work by Medic.
3 0 ReplyHis heel was to the side of the cup. Man fuck this guy.
3 0 ReplyRogan has become so horrible.
And he is still going on. Shameful.
1 0 Reply
miss weight? straight to jail.
3 0 ReplyDo not collect $200
2 0 Reply
Glad Jake got the win.
3 0 ReplyHere I agree happily. ;)
Classy interview also.
2 0 Reply
Good decision. Second round was close-ish, but CJ won the third clearly.
3 0 Replytapped him
3 0 ReplySalvador looks a bit cocky in there for someone who missed weight.
EDIT: and he’s getting cracked left and right
3 0 ReplyGet rekted Salvador
3 0 Replythat was slick.
3 0 ReplyI still stand by this being the weirdest matchmaking ever, but alright. Lets see what happens.
3 0 ReplyWere you disappointed?
2 0 Reply
Let's go cucuy!
3 0 ReplyBobby "HHH" Green
3 0 Replykinda crazy how TMNT have been a thing since I was a kid.
3 0 ReplyThis random thought is brought to you by our friends at Modelo, the official beer of the UFC!
1 0 Reply
ad read right into mentioning one minute left in the round. that shit annoys me so much.
3 0 ReplyThis comment segment was brought to you by Modelo
3 0 ReplyWith all the logos on the octagon, they shouldn’t be doing ad reads at all.
1 0 Reply
matchmaker giveaway. you get to book a prelim fight for a Holly Holm headliner at the Apex.
3 0 ReplyTony looked legit incompetent off his back in rd 2.
Why wouldn't he turn his back and post to get up instead of just flailing in bottom guard?
"Better not turn around and post... Can't let the RNC master... Bobby Green... get my back"
3 0 ReplyBummed we lost Thompson vs Pereira, but the main card is still stacked.
3 0 ReplyThompson isn't getting his show money apparently.
2 0 ReplyYeah that’s bullshit. Probably punishment for not playing the role of company man.
2 0 Reply
Am I alone pulling for Bobby in this one? He's so fun to watch.
3 0 ReplyI'm sorry man, Tony needs a win. He can't go bareknuckle, they don't allow elbows.
5 0 ReplyGot me there, lol. I love Tony too, I just can't stand to see him get KO'd again.
2 0 ReplyThis is a very good point. Man loves his elbows.
2 0 Reply
Nothing against green, but Tony ride or die.
And on a 2nd thought, didn't he bitch about a NC that he himself caused with a headbutt?
2 0 Reply
FUCK YES DERRICK LETS GO
3 0 ReplyI hope Lewis and Ferguson bring back some of their old magic but I am not too optimistic.
3 0 ReplyI’d just like to see Tony make it out of the cage without getting too beat up. I think he has a shot if he can get it to the ground.

"I like to eat steaks and have sex to make weight." -Kevin Holland
3 0 ReplyI thought his eye was bleeding there for a minute.
3 0 ReplyYeah that looked pretty bad
2 0 ReplyCut on lower eyelid I believe
2 0 ReplyI was sure I saw blood, but I might have been mistaken.
1 0 Reply
Flying knee from Lewis. I did not pick that.
3 0 ReplyWho the hell had Bobby Green by submission in R3? Not me.
3 0 ReplyThat was sad as hell.
3 0 ReplyI can’t say I expected anything like that! Wow! I guess his balls were still hot…
3 0 Replyjust don't have Black Beast fight in Texas.
3 0 ReplyHe actually landed that flying knee!
3 0 ReplyI need to add fantasy football commissioner to my resume.
2 0 ReplyI like to eat steak and have sex to make weight
Fuckin quote of the night contender there
2 0 ReplyHolland always good for that.
2 0 ReplyOoh, already some competition from Tony:
One of us is gonna get knocked out and the other one is not gonna be me
2 0 ReplyOh yeah lol, I missed that.
2 0 ReplyHe called it, too. The other one was indeed not him.
1 0 Reply
That's 6 losses in a row for Tony.
2 0 ReplyFence grabs, attempted eye gouging, glove grabs, trying to pull Maverick's top off multiple times, trying for a Brazilian tap. Cachoeira is such a piece of shit.
2 0 ReplyLooked like there may have been an attempted fish hook too.
2 0 Reply
Tony getting busted up :(
2 0 ReplyIt's almost as good seeing Miranda win as it is seeing Cachoeira lose.
2 0 ReplyThe beast up in dis hoe!
2 0 ReplyUpcoming cards look pretty good from a headliner perspective.
2 0 ReplyDana always stacks cards when there is a marque boxing match.
1 0 Reply
Wonderboy in a commerical? Yes please give me more of that
2 0 ReplyBig pop for Herb
2 0 ReplyJon called him Herbert like that is something he does.
4 0 Reply
out of all fights... that was one of them.
2 0 ReplyMay not matter in this fight, but Bonfim is chinny once they start throwing.
EDIT: it didn’t matter
2 0 ReplyIt's not only the altitude in Salt Lake. The air quality is abhorrent so I think that plays into it as well.
2 0 ReplyFlowers and Matthews are going too hard for some welterweights at that altitude. I see gassing in round 2.
2 0 Reply"it's very hard to see" - Rogan
2 0 ReplyThey called Karl Malone "The Mailman" because he always delivered.
But it's probably because he has like 11 kids he doesn't take care of.
2 0 ReplyHe also had a kid with a kid.
2 0 Reply
Today I learned I'm a Salvador hater.
2 0 ReplySame.
3 0 Reply
Wow!!!! Kicked him to the roof!
2 0 ReplyThat was a quick shift of energy from eulogy to fight hype by Anik.
2 0 Replyboys are swingin
2 0 ReplyGood round
2 0 Replykopylov landing nearly everything.
2 0 ReplyShades of Shabliy vs Musayev
2 0 Replysome violent swinging tonight.
2 0 ReplyI want Vergara to sleep him.
2 0 Replythis fight is weird.
2 0 ReplyLost the crowd at "brewskis."
2 0 ReplySprite or Root brewskis

Salvador would be an elite cardio kickboxing coach for women and children
2 0 ReplyShout out to Billy Blanks.
2 0 Reply
that was tight. great win
2 0 ReplyPlease please please please, Tony. No more. Please.
2 0 ReplyGreen and Ferguson have such different, unique styles. This is a fun fight.
2 0 Replythat commercial lol
2 0 ReplyChiesa seemed like he was starting to take off the tape.
2 0 ReplyIf you hit Tony in the face you better mean it, or he's just gonna eat it and smile at you
2 0 Replyhe couldn't have landed a better kick.
2 0 ReplyBobby's head movement is so good
2 0 ReplyLarkin vs Koreshkov just started for those interested.
2 0 ReplyKevin making it look easy. That darce was locked in quick
2 0 ReplyThey sometimes don't look that tight, but you never want to be in there.
1 0 Reply
took her arm that time.
2 0 ReplyFOTN right there. Salvador for performance of the night.
2 0 ReplyBuffer wearing what looks like a rusted metal suit.
2 0 ReplyIt was silver until he landed in SLC.
2 0 Reply
Buffer/Chiesa for UFC 300.
2 0 ReplyLet's go my guys.
Got a bit of sleep in and now I am ready to go.Holy fuck, the power just went out where I live.
2 0 ReplyConor McGregor has a more recent win than Tony.
2 0 ReplyGoddamn
2 0 Reply
That shit was just sad. UFC should be ashamed of themselves
2 0 ReplyWell shit.
2 0 ReplyChiesa did not fight that darce at all. Yikes.
2 0 ReplySemelsberger looks like he knows where you can get that primo cartel crystal meth.
2 0 ReplyOh Tony why?
I don't want you to die in there every time.
2 0 ReplyI agree with Din, should be higher than 20%
2 0 ReplyDamn what a clean kick.
2 0 ReplyChiesa picking at his gloves.
2 0 ReplyKinda gross that UFC dangles the betting lines so blatantly these days. I will also never get used to commercials on PPV.
2 0 ReplyCommercials on ppv is bs. I want the corners between rounds, and for $80 I should get that.
2 0 ReplyBut why would they give it to you if you continue to pay $80 to see ads?
1 0 Reply
Watching Tony get pieced up like this makes me sad.
2 0 ReplyTony needs a finish if he wants a win here.
2 0 ReplyLive Tony Live!
2 0 Replyfather time is a bastard man
2 0 ReplyUndefeated
3 0 Reply
OOF
1 0 ReplyHell yeah!
1 0 ReplyI have it 2:1 Vergara, but I am a bit biased, so idk.
1 0 ReplyThe lower the weightclass, the madder I am with weight misses.
1 0 ReplyWtf kind of stoppage was that?
Shut up Joe.
Edit: And DC obviously agreeing lol.
1 0 ReplyAnyone particularly hyped for one of the prelim fights? Giles v Bonfim sounds like fun but the rest seems like a regular bad Fight Night to me.
1 0 ReplyI want to see if Maverick can look like her old self
2 0 Reply
There goes that parlay
1 0 ReplyGreen landing too much.
I hope it's not because of the eye. I think Tony got hit more afterwards.
1 0 Reply10-9 Green.
1 0 ReplyThis is some unreal shit. Lewis just went beast mode in secs....
1 0 ReplyAww yeaaaaa, lfg miranda!
1 0 ReplyReally dug maverick's walk out music, hoping she gets this.

Edit: Ok maybe not.
1 0 ReplyThe prices for these PPVs are ridiculous.
1 0 ReplyI did not see an eyepoke...
1 0 ReplyIs Matthews a Bloodborne stan or Berserk?
Ether way pretty cool mark.
0 0 ReplyMcGregor tweeting at Gaethje is just embarrassing imo
0 0 ReplyI hope he comes back and has to eat those words. I'd love to see Gaethje be the one to welcome him back to the octagon.
1 0 ReplyI hope McGregor never fights again.
