You don't recognize OSP?

I didn't do much better, Pereira sounds familiar but I couldn't say anything about him. Eubanks was on TUF and should have had the title fight but hurt herself cutting weight.

That's all I got.

You guys don't recognize Simon and Kelleher?

Not that they are world beaters, just have been around for awhile with some notable matchups.

Point taken though, the card sucks.

I don't see OSP on the card I'm looking at. Am I even looking at the right thing? lol.

I recognize them, of course, but that fight is off AFAIK.

Michel Pereira is one of the more entertaining losers in the UFC. Took like 5 minutes for his walkout, doing a bunch of dancing and flips. He was the biggest favorite on the card against some local plumber or something like on short notice. He was doing flips during the fight then ended up gassing out and losing haha. Then just teed up Diego Sanchez for 2.5 rounds then got DQ'd with an illegal knee.

So looking forward to seeing how he loses this one.

Oh, of course. That guy is a maniac. The scrawny short-notice replacement who beat him in Vancouver is one of the wildest fights Ive ever seen.

Overeem will never go away.

Impressive win by Overeem. I thought it was a rather dominant showing overall. I thought it was 1-1 after two, and then felt like he took over 3 straight rounds. It’s not like Sakai is some scrub either — he has a few noteworthy wins/performances under his belt.

He’s now 4-1 in his last 5, with the one loss being that last second knockout against Jairzinho.

Overeem is a legend of legends after this run so late in his career. Not only the 4-1 but the turn to ground-and-pound finishes. Over the course of his career, he's had one of the most dangerous guillotines, the Uberknees, and now ground-and-pound. Cejudo is the best fight sport athlete ever? Nah, Overeem.

Hilarious!

You would think the UFC would try and even out their cards a little more. I know tonight's card was supposed to have Glover vs Santos as the headline, but it was still a really weak card and it's laughably bad now.

Then you fast forward to next week and it's a super stacked fight night card.

Colby vs Woodly
Cowboy vs Niko
Khamzat
Walker vs Spann

Should be a good night for free fights next week.

Can't even find a stream at my normal completely legal streaming places.

Bisping saying "you can't blame Herman' is such bs. He should definitely be disqualified.

Jasen777 · Post #1393 » by **Jasen777** » Sun Sep 13, 2020 2:13 am

Roxy is one of my favs, but IDK.

His interview afterwards, "I don't know where it hit me. Maybe my cup, maybe my body".

I say the commission calls him on it: If you can't identify the origin of sensory signals, you got major neurological problems and shouldn't be allowed to fight.

Tyron, 2 weeks ago, said he would not make this political. Now he's playing a heel with a BLM persona? Fuuuc.

Colby has shown pretty few boundaries (e.g. Matt Hughes thing). But, once he wins this (surely), he's not going to shout out ALM or FBI crime stats, right? He knows enough to never mention race?

REDDzone · Post #1396 » by **REDDzone** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 2:44 pm

By all logic, Colby should beat Tyron. I still think there's a good chance that Colby has that haywire gene though and will get flatlined.

Classic. Shades of Wallace's "Both teams played hard". But woke.

Can only hope Woodley has one more knockout left in his hands.

If Colby wins he'll probably say "Make 170 great again" or somesuch

Susan · Post #1398 » by **Susan** » Fri Sep 18, 2020 4:34 pm

Tito just called Tyron a terrorist and Colby called him a terrorist sympathizer.

Tyron is washed, **** the UFC for making this fight.

I know Colby is most likely gonna win but what a great day it’d be if he “”catches the fade again”

lol BloodElbow fact-checking Colby: "Black Lives Matter is decentralized political and social movement advocating for non-violent civil disobedience in protest against incidents of police brutality and all racially motivated violence against Black people. It is not a domestic terrorist organization, as Covington claimed in his social media post."
