Tony went from "oh his BJJ could match Khabib"

...to lookin' like a blue belt all night long.

Didn't defend or fight that arm triangle for one second.

Green by sub was not on my bingo card.

I hope Tony retires rather than getting cut and going to some other org for more CTE.

That takedown was practically in slow motion.

Keep an eye out around 11PM ET for the Bellator X Rizin 2 live thread. We’ll give dueling threads a shot tonight and see how it goes.

Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!

Salvador looks a bit cocky in there for someone who missed weight.

EDIT: and he’s getting cracked left and right

kinda crazy how TMNT have been a thing since I was a kid.

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

This random thought is brought to you by our friends at Modelo, the official beer of the UFC!

May not matter in this fight, but Bonfim is chinny once they start throwing.

EDIT: it didn’t matter

Heel went straight into the balls, Rogan is tripping.

What an idiot.

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

He didn't used to be this bad but these days I feel like he is wrong about this type of thing all of the time.

[–] RobotDrZaius@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Tony has nothing more to give, really wish he would retire. I’m sad he hasn’t got the best prospects for post-fighting careers though. I don’t think he’s going to be good at commentary with the amount of CTE he’s got now. He won’t be in high demand as a coach because he’s so whacky with his style rather than being a technician. Feels bad man.

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

Agreed. He’ll probably end up as a token unorthodox sparring partner in some random gym.

EDIT: I don’t mean this disrespectfully, I just can’t see the dude leaving fighting behind.

[–] BingGoose@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fence grabs, attempted eye gouging, glove grabs, trying to pull Maverick's top off multiple times, trying for a Brazilian tap. Cachoeira is such a piece of shit.

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

Looked like there may have been an attempted fish hook too.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Am I alone pulling for Bobby in this one? He's so fun to watch.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm sorry man, Tony needs a win. He can't go bareknuckle, they don't allow elbows.

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

Got me there, lol. I love Tony too, I just can't stand to see him get KO'd again.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope Lewis and Ferguson bring back some of their old magic but I am not too optimistic.

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

I’d just like to see Tony make it out of the cage without getting too beat up. I think he has a shot if he can get it to the ground.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

ad read right into mentioning one minute left in the round. that shit annoys me so much.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

With all the logos on the octagon, they shouldn’t be doing ad reads at all.
