Let's do this every week! Super fun and a great atmosphere in here. I'm not going back to reddit. I was there 12 years, and saw it slip just like I saw digg slip before it. Let's keep this going while we wait for others to see the obvious - once the people who create the best content leave there's no reason to stay there.

Hello, this is Marvin Vettori's brain. I'm not able to answer the phone right now, but please leave a message and I'll get back to you after round five.

This is currently the most commented thread ever on kbin. It's a shame that it won't grow from here, with the return of the subreddit soon.

[–] theusualuser@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'm staying here, man. Reddit gets worse with every year, and I'm perfectly happy to talk way too much over here instead of over there.

/r/mma is so trash for discussion if this place even picks up slightly in activity I might just stay here instead tbh

[–] eatmoregreenfood@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Fuck reddit. Shit sucks. Kbin is exactly what reddit was back in the day when I liked reddit. Not going back

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

It will keep growing. Check out my profile for m/BotIt.

It will be great once we are able to implement that.

[–] familynight@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It might be impossible to knockout Vettori.

never seen cannonier cook somebody like this. very impressive.

[–] bbqasaurus@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Mods, lemme get that "Head to head deez nuts" flair.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

No flairs yet! Baby steps!

Cruz absolutely creaming himself over Keith Peterson making a mistake, lol.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You could hear the excitement even through his monotone voice.

I'd like to start a petition to replace Cruz with Laura Sanko. I think it'd be nice to get a former female fighter's opinion in there, and she's well spoke and deserves it.

Fights like this deserve a real crowd. Apex is played out.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Also everyone, please upvote this thread itself so we can get other folks from the fediverse to come over to the thread as well. Thanks.

[–] a_99@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (5 children)

Most exciting fight by either fighter. They both want to make a statement.

Jason Herzog is the real gold standard. He is just a step above the rest.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

That was the right call. Good on Keith to fix that.

Historically, no one has EVER beat an ass more than Cannonier at middleweight, and yet somehow Vettori is still here. That dude probably lost 2 or 3 years off his career tonight, though.

[–] SkinOfAnOrange@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So happy with how active this thread is too!

Guy gave birth and then takes a fight. Badass

[–] LiquidAurum@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ehh after a while it felt like Marvin had nothing for Jared, looked like he was too slow. Corner should've thrown in the towel, he wore the damage well but that could take some time to recover from

I think it takes a metal noggin like Vetorri and a relentless ass beating machine like Cannonier to break that record. We might not see it again.

[–] dfreinc@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

dom with the clutch commentator curse 😂

[–] a_99@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

I've heard that damage is a scoring criteria. 4-1 Jared. Marvin is not human.

[–] PoorRambler@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Love Cannonier fights, Izzy was too smart to trade with him

[–] Hiya@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

kbin feels like a Ladder Season reset for Reddit.

TIFU guys, as an aside. Went fishing today, was wading in a stream I've never waded before. Took a step and in that exact spot the water was about 3 feet deeper than on either side. Went completely under, cut my legs up and lost my phone. Phone is....not water proof. $300 fishing trip feels bad man.

Vettori looks like he just woke up from a nap.

Sabatini committing murders out here. Respect to Almeida for refusing to die

[–] lackthought 4 points 2 years ago

Keith tapped for him lol

[–] TummyAcheHaver@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Three minutes into the fight, I would have given it to Salikhov. Dalby proved me severely wrong

Just saw the Keith Peterson thing, lmao having Dom in the booth was fucking chefs kiss for that. I will never stop enjoying his eternal pettiness.

[–] darkness@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Opponent can't stand, better run at him and clinch.

[–] lackthought 3 points 2 years ago

GOAT translator back at it!
