twiztor Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 WILD end to the Kim/Bohm fight due to a bizarre judging situation. involving an illegal knee, points being taken, and scorecards having to be re-submitted. just a weird fight all around.

Reminder: It's North Carolina, a place that doesn't even get smaller MMA and for that matter, combat sports in general. That said, it's the strangest fight I have ever seen. This was a perfect storm of weird fouls (Kim), clearly taking the easy way out (Bohm, but Kim gave her that way to be fair), and horrendous officiating. I am never seen someone take points several moments after the fact and to start the round. I know it's referee's discretion but that still didn't make any sense. Doesn't top the strange debacle Top Rank had during the pandemic which had a much, much longer delay regarding the official decision of a fight, but it's definitely would be up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 Daniel Rodriguez was a pretty decent test. However, I think Ian Garry is probably going to see tougher style matchups as he moves up the rankings. Still a nice performance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 agreed, D-Rod was a good step up for Garry, and he passed it with flying colors. Everything gets significantly more difficult from here, however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted May 13, 2023 Author Share Posted May 13, 2023 It isn't a real Anthony Smith fight unless by the end you're deeply concerned about his health and safety. I think Johnny backed off a little at the end so Anthony can retain some brain cells. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 i was rooting for Rozenstruik by KO like i usually do. oh well. he's always been a one dimensional fighter, so not surprising to see that get capitalized on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why he got matched with Almeida, who is like 250% better than he was on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Natalia Silva just busted Leonardo's face and was absolutely ADORABLE trying to speak english without the translator. .... Interesting to see if Chase Hooper fares better at lightweight. Apparently he was still growing into his body, and still trying to make 145 when it didn't make sense. He said his last fight he was drinking only protein shakes and honey 1-2 weeks before fight week. Was trying to cut down from 185. Fucking madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 Joaquin Buckley hopefully ate his Wheaties cause he's going to be hard pressed to create a scarier KO than Diego Ferreira utterly disintegrating Michael Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Between that in Poland, and the other Stadium in Tajikistan full of people watching UFC on a big screen, it really makes UFC's insistence on mostly running North America look short sighted.
