Tom is the real champ now. Jon will come back in a year and fight Stipe, win, and then both will retire. Tom will be the defacto champ or he'll fight Ciryl Gane to cement it.

Alex’s leg kicks are crazy. Jiri is already stumbling.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

DC was right, the back of his leg is fucked

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

That Jiri Reyes knockout is just filthy.

[–] westingham@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

BANG!! Wooooo!! What a performance.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

I hate that stoppage a title fight.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I’m indifferent about the stoppage. He was hurt but, it appeared that Jiri had some more fight in him. On the other hand, Jiri’s body language after the elbows likely didn’t look good from a ref perspective.

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, same. But knowing about his insane chin, Goddard should have let him take a few more..

Anyways, Pereira wins either way

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I am quite certain Pereira gets the finish here anyway, I just would have liked to give Jiri the chance to try to hang on, because he has NO quit in him whatsoever.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

HOLY FUCK BOYS

Yeah it's hard to say, he did eat a lot of elbows. Goddard probably assumed it was a wrap.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Thanks for participating everyone. Hope to see you all again at the next event.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Damn Jiri is intense.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow that was fast. I thought Aspinall was a dead man walking after he ate those first two shots.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Me too, I thought "look at me, eating my words again".

[–] westingham@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago
[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lopes has some serious contender potential. His style is so exciting and he’s got some crispy technique.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's true. Did he have a full camp this time?
He's very talented.

Lopes closed that one out definitively, damn.

[–] DirtyDan@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

I think he had it wrapped up but I think the stoppage was a lil snappy

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tom Aspinall vs Gane would be an absolute banger.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think Aspinall would dominate Gane on the ground. I’d still watch it though.

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, absolutely. But Gane's speed and evasiveness would make the standup much, much more interesting. Gane's still gonna get his shit mixed, though..

I’ve been rooting for him since the Paddy decision. Nice win.

[–] ameisenigel@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I think this applies to absolutely everyone haha

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Fights start in a half an hour. Let’s go!

[–] toastus@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Jones will never fight either of those dudes.

That was an insane first fight, can’t wait to see a rematch if they have one

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, he looked a little disoriented already.

[–] westingham@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Thankfully that's over. Nothing against Dern but that second round was hard to watch. Good stoppage from the ref.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I made it for the co and main...phew!

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago
[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stipe lookin like a Bond villain

[–] westingham@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Bond villain mixed with Steve Jobs.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got Alex in this one, but Jiri is a dog. Coin flip fight.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I am stoked for this one.

Alex should have the cleaner striking, but Jiri is just wild and probably a bit bigger at 205.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah. This is solid matchmaking. Not sure Alex has earned it, but I like this matchup.

Damn sometimes I feel for Dom Reyes, getting robbed against Jones and then those bad KOs.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah I remember when I watched Reyes VS Jones I was FLOORED that they gave it to Jones. The fix is in, that was my first thought.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Reyes had a ton of potential. He’s got a fight coming up. Maybe Dom will turn things around. If he gets flatlined again I hope he hangs it up.

Anybody else having issues with the Dubz links not working? Video won't play.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No issues here. Do you have any video plugins running? I had to disable Baking Soda for the dubz domain to get them to play earlier.

Has Saint-Denis a tiny Stipe in his corner?

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m really looking forward to seeing Diego Lopes fight tonight.
