jaedmc Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 And just like that the goofy Brazilian kid with the glasses gimmick is in the Top 5 at Middleweight. They grow up so fast. 2

Elsalvajeloco Posted September 8, 2024 Author Posted September 8, 2024 That was a hell of a win for Natália Silva.
The Natural Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 UFC 306 tonight. Looking forward to Sean O’Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili, Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko and Brian Ortega vs. Diego Lopes. Predicting Merab decision but I wouldn't be surprised if O'Malley KO's him, Grasso decision but I wouldn't be surprised if Shevchenko does by decision and Ortega by submission in R3.

jaedmc Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Okay the Sphere setup looks pretty cool. I'd heard that the fights, (I'm assuming on the main card) are going to take place like they're on different planets.
Elsalvajeloco Posted September 15, 2024 Author Posted September 15, 2024 Big difference between boxing and MMA: The huge (and huge may be an understatement) cut opened up by a head clash on Aldana would have been an automatic no contest or technical decision in boxing. She fought almost a half the rest of the fight with that.
waffle Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 This is pretty cool visually. Even cooler when you remember how bland UFC's production normally is. 1
jaedmc Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 I think Daniel Cormier summed it up with "How the heck are we supposed to go to Salt Lake City after this?"
jaedmc Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Lazy Boy Rodriguez is appointment viewing. Great fight.
waffle Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Rodriguez got knocked out, and still came back to win the fight. Crazy. 1
jaedmc Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Dominic Mysterio and Rey Mysterio at the same event but not sitting next to each other warms my heart. 1

The Natural Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Daniel Zellhuber vs. Esteban Ribovics. Great fight. How did Zellhuber survive that onslaught in R3? Run that fight back.
jaedmc Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 I anticipated Lopes and Ortega to be fight of the night but they've got an insane mountain to climb now.
The Natural Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Daniel Zellhuber vs. Esteban Ribovics. What a fight, insane last round. FOTYC. 1
jaedmc Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 I don't know if I'd pick Lopes against Topuria, Holloway or Volk, so I guess we're going to see if this is his ceiling or not, because those are his only options. 1
The Natural Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Diego Lopes would probably have finished Brian Ortega after knocking him down at the start of round one but wanted to submit him. Still remember Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira knocking down Frank Mir in their second fight but instead of ground and pound, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira wanted to submit Mir but Mir recovered and broke Big Nog's arm with a submission. Mir was the first to finish Nogueira with strikes and first to submit him.
The Natural Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Just now, jaedmc said: I don't know if I'd pick Lopes against Topuria, Holloway or Volk, so I guess we're going to see if this is his ceiling or not, because those are his only options. I thought Holloway would have stayed at Lightweight after starching Justin Gaethje and try to become a two weight UFC Champion.
The Natural Posted September 15, 2024 Posted September 15, 2024 Alexa Grasso submitted Valentina Shevchenko with a face crank to win the UFC Women's Flyweight Championship in the first fight and the rematch a draw. Regarding the second fight, how did you score it? I had Grasso 48-47 (2,4,5).
