The Natural Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Two of my favourite fighters going at it again in Alex Pereira vs. Jiří Procházka. Two of the heaviest hitters ever. Heart overrules head, Jiri by KO in R2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 To be fair, based on some of his strategies sometimes, Jiri doesn't use his head either. Really looking forward to Ortega vs. Diego Lopes. They're building up Diego Lopes as this great prospect. Ortega is strong test for any prospect. Surprised that they booked MVP vs. Machado Garry cause they seem to have a lot invested in both guys. I guess with Page being the age he is, they really cannot take it slow with him. So his UFC tenure is essentially in fast forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Might watch the replay instead of live as I always do. Got a stomach bug from my Sister, I feel shocking and my Dad's started today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 what in the hell. Did Dan Ige happen to be in the crowd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Sucks that Ortega is out but that's an awesome short notice step in from Ige. Farewell to Michelle Waterson, fun career, loved her fights since her early Invicta days. Some epic KOs in the prelims. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Ian starts talking about the title, and I was thinking him vs. Leon sounds fascinating. But then I remembered both Jack Della Maddalena and Shavkat are also ahead of him. Welterweight is pretty stacked, but they might all be watching Islam make a run for Champ Champ.

jaedmc Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 That was the best result possible for both guys. Diego gets to keep his momentum. Ige ends the fight on top, and now there's more interest in what he does next.. Both guys probably got a favor from Dana and Co - which might just be a spot on the Sphere show. Now let's see if Jiri can stop Alex before he employs his dark magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we got an Ultimate Warrior reference in the main event The early 125 bout was fight of the night bit of a late stoppage in the main I remember watching the Karate Hottie on Fight Girls w/ Gina Carrano enjoy retirement, heck of a career considering she spent most of it fight a weight class of two up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Feel for Jiri as he's now lost twice to Alex and won't be getting a title shot again while he's champion. Hope Ortega's ok. Respect to Lopes and Ige. Edited June 30 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Less than 2 years Pereira has beaten: Strickland. Izzy. Jan. Jiri. Hill. Jiri. 5/6 by KO/TKO. 4/6 UFC Championship fights. Edited June 30 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
