DreamBroken Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yoder/Markos both two of my favs so that's a tough one for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I'm surprised Loma Lookboonmee is getting a shot in the UFC. She's an atomweight with less than two years experience in pro MMA. Plus, I would say at this point she basically is mostly all muay thai. This is more a ONE signing than a UFC signing. I guess the UFC is trying to do something different. Edited October 24, 2019 by Elsalvajeloco 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Natural Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) When I think of fighters taking big damage in two back to back fights, Ben Askren is up there. Robbie Lawler fucking slams Funky and hits him with punches, I thought he was briefly out from them. Ben Askren is then rendered stiff by Jorge Masvidal's running knee with nasty punches while KTFO in the UFC's fastest ever KO.

J.T. Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Goid, I hope that Maia shows up surly and Ben comes to the ring with a chip on his shoulder looking to redeem himself from the Masvidal R1 KO loss. Being a classic Jiujutsu guy, I am totally stoked for what on paper looks to be a fucking epic chess match on the ground. Both guys are totally capable of slapping on some slick subs and the guy fighting from the bottom may turn out to be the more dangerous man in the cage.

I think Askren might be a little bit more cautious. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a repeat of Jon Fitch vs. Maia some years back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which, if memory serves, was a fun fight based solely on Maia giving Fitch a strong dose of his own medicine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Not sure how one judge scored that for Albu. Possibly ignoring effective striking and grappling, and just giving points based on who is advancing? Lookboonmee looked really good in the fight though. Might have been a favourable style match up, hard to tell based on one fight. But she might be one to watch for the future, super skilled and young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're in Singapore and it's late afternoon/ early evening there now. I'm like an hour behind though, watching Rando Markos and Ashley Yoder with their unusual tactics and positioning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to have a UFC at a good time over here than the usual early hours in the morning. Edited October 26, 2019 by The Natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Beneil Dariush is pretty underrated. Seems he's gotten over his previous skid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 This broadcast goes weird every time they go to a tale of the tape. It's like they're cutting in a tale of the tape from another broadcast, with an Air Asia sponsorship and no analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll put in spoilers: Demian Maia with the rear naked choke win to Ben Askren in the third round. Demian Maia's a wizard on the mat with his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
