The Natural Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Never seen Luke Rockhold as fatigued as he is here. Doubled over. Busted up nose don't help none either. Edited August 21, 2022 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Luke Rockhold/Paulo Costa was the most entertaining fight for all the wrong reasons. Me and my son were howling with laughter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Luke Rockhold's gloves are off. Retirement in Octagon about to come? Yes. Edited August 21, 2022 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting in high elevation will do that to you. That said, that was highly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John E. Dynamite Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) When do you get a Headcase vs. Headcase battle this good? Compellingly awful. Awfully compelling. I hope Luke takes weird fights with non-striking combat sport medalists around the world instead of retiring, Kazakh Greco dudes and South Korean arm wrestlers and shit. I hope Paulo Costa gets a fight against somebody really good offa this and gets murked. I was (am?) drinking so much Laphroaig that I thought for like an entire round that this was some lame ESPN+ card and that this was the main, and that's a compliment.

jaedmc Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Kudos to Rockhold for toughing it out. Chin held up, so there is that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teflon Turtle Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 All Rockhold needs to do from here is pick up some fireworks on the way home and jump off a vending machine or two to cement his status as MMA's Kota Ibushi. I write that with (mostly) all of the affection that status is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John E. Dynamite Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Leon Edwards is such a compelling maybe-spoiler. He either steals this or is disintegrated. I'm particularly down for this one. Might regret that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 That's the Knockout of the Year. Leon Edwards headkick KO in round 5 to the UFC Welterweight Champion and P4P #1, Kamaru Usman in a fight Edwards was losing. It tops Weili Zhang's spinning back fist on Joanna Jędrzejczyk, Molly McCann's spinning elbow to Luana Carolina and my previous #1 in Michael Chandler's front kick to Tony Ferguson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 That's one of the most shocking, amazing things I've seen in all my years watching MMA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 That was one of the absolute best moments ever. Absolutely incredible. Din Thomas said he was broken. His body language as shameful going into the fifth. And it looked like nothing was going to change. And then it was lightning. Joe Rogan said it best - It was like it wasn't real. I just stared at it thinking "that's odd. Usman is on the ground. what is happening?" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon Turtle Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If Leon Edwards wants to adopt "The Excellence of Execution" as another nickname, I'm here for it. That's as good and as precise as you will ever see that headkick setup done in MMA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
