Fuck yeah, Jiri had me worried. He is a goddam tank.
Formerly /r/MMA
Place to talk about the **sport** of mixed martial arts
Hands down and legs open for kicks. I thought he was on his way to a loss too. Nice turn around and finish by Jiri!
Justin and Max deserve the 300k for fight of the night, unless there is something crazy left to come
Everyone lower in the card simultaneously shed a tear. Max is a lock for at least $300k.
I feel like I might need to be on the receiving end of some ground and pound. Everytime I see the ref stop it im like bro he was fine let the fight go on. Based on the moicano and Lopez fights
Thanks to everyone who participated tonight. Special thanks to @ya_dong for picking up my slack.
In future I want to get the thread up a day earlier so we can get predictions in and see how everyone's picks play out.
That’s a good idea. Let’s give it a shot.
Strong first round for Rakic.
Edit: Didn’t matter
Damn, gotta put some respect on Alex's name if you haven't already
Ilia looked shook after the finish. Probably just in shock like the rest of us.
He looked genuinely nervous to have been called out by Max
Can’t blame him after that performance. Max was fighting a great fight up to and including the finish.
Holy fuck no way. Max with the ko 100% just earned himself 300k
I thought Max was in trouble when he took this fight, but I was wrong. What a savage!
Same before the fight I just said "I'm rooting for max to survive I don't want to see his career ended". I was so wrong max stock through the roof
Now I wanna see him do whatever the hell he wants. Aside from the lack of low kick defense, he looks like he could give anyone at lightweight and featherweight a tough fight.
Fuck yeah, I am so glad the BMF didn't get decided by the judges
Diego Lopez is the real deal
He’s so exciting and dynamic. I think we’ll see him fighting for a title before long.
He's my new Erick Silva.
Max looks great. Hopefully he starts checking those low kicks.
Max is looking so fast and so sharp. Justin can't get his hands on him. If this was anyone in Max's division they would be out cold.
Why make a BMF belt when Anik can’t even say “motherfucker” on air?
Round 2 had me thinking it was the blind motherfucker belt.
No doubt. The UFC gloves are a real problem. I can’t think of any reason to not switch to a new design after countless eye pokes over the years.
Funny enough it is the new glove...but the problem persists.
Good decision. I thought Tsarukyan was out for a second with that d’acre attempt, but he gutted it out.
50 fucking comments bro what a sick card. im buzzing off that Holloway finish. My friend who has no idea about MMA just texted me that he bet $10 on holloway and won $85. Zhang stomped her fight and I really dont see anyone beating her anytime soon that craig jones training paying dividends.
The main event knockout from Alex was fucked. He slept him round one with no prior damange, no wind up. This guy is actually playing with cheatcodes. He has the magic touch if he touches your chin its over. Cant wait to see Jamal hill bitch and moan about that stoppage on his yt channel
A bit late but I didnt see one up. Pretty good early prelims so far.
Thanks for putting this up! I was slackin. 300 is off to a strong start.
I just realized the title of this thread says UFC 290. Good enough for government work!
yeah I just noticed as well. I guess you now where where I copy pasted the title from
Hey there’s activity here, so it works! Also Aljo vs Kattar sucked.
AYY kbin federation issues seem to be resolved and im getting these posts quick as fuck. Sick card so far. Shine bright Jiri you Autistic Samurai.
Game on! I wouldn’t be mad about a Brundage upset.
Edit: Nope. Brundage made it beyond the first round at least.
Alex made it look easy. What a card! UFC 300 lived up to the hype and then some.
That weird thumbs up chest tattoo on Hill is something special. It’s right up there with Brock’s feather knife and Alan Belcher’s mutant Johnny Cash.
It's like the early Facebook like icon
Lmao salty man Jamal hill knocked thr fuck out round 1. You fucking idiot you deserved that for trying to strike with a two division k1 champion who has slept every ufc fighter.
Kayla arms are like SpongeBob's when he inflates them.
Harrison vs. Holm went about as expected. Pennington is probably nervous after seeing that performance.
Oh my god Max is a fucking beast. Please stay at 155.
Seriously. This version of Max looks like a worldbeater
Holloway calling for 600k buddy it was hard enough to pry 300k from Dana you ain't getting 600.
Maybe UFC brass will go the One FC route and give all the finishers a bonus in addition to fight of the night. Doubt it though.
Herzog is one of the good ones. However, I don’t understand how he didn’t call the fight at the end of the first round.
Yeah Yan was 100% out, IMO. She was floppy and literally convulsing as she was stood up.
She got smacked on the side of the head for 30+ seconds in round two also. Hope Weili can pull it out.
These last two fights are bangers, but I feel like I’ve already seen the main event after the max and Justin fight.
Edit: clarification
