Incredible fight. It felt like Hooker was fighting back from zombie land there for a bit. What a turn around.

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

UFC 290, Bellator v Rizin 2 and Rizin 44. All in the same night. 12 or more straight hours of mma.

Very natty arm veins on Du Plessis

[-] DirtyDan@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I knew Du Plessis was bad.. but to finish Whittaker like that... damn

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

Moreno’s striking is looking crisp

EDIT: until he got knocked down

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Moreno likely will likely need a finish.

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Thank you all for coming out tonight guys! Had a great time with you all.

Come visit us during the week in the threads and say hi if you're able. Lets keep building this out!

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is now the second most commented thread ever on kbin. /m/mma also has the third thread.

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

Hope Lawler puts on a strong final performance.

EDIT: Fuck yeah!

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hey guys, I'm gonna be a broken record tonight...

In between fights when you get a chance, go upvote and boost the fight clips as our bot brings them over. All helps to get seen in the fediverse and get more people over here. Thanks.

[-] wolves_cdq 1 points 1 year ago

ive not seen any clips, where are they? its one of the few things i still use reddit for

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I know they all moved to different camps, but Robbie is the last of the Miletich guys right?

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

Nothing against Jalin Turner, but I want to see Dan Hooker win by violent KO.

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Federation is working thankfully tonight (didn't last event) so our friends from Lemmy will be able to see us. Lets hope it holds, this event should be amazing.

[-] ugmug@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

UFC 290 is a stacked card! Hope to see some Lemmy MMA fans here tonight, too!

[-] lackthought@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

federation issues must be instance specific because I still can't see this post from my lemmy account

luckily I also had a kbin account

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago
[-] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I noticed that some active magazines here on kbin are barren wastelands on the Lemmy side. Might still be some lingering federation issues.

EDIT: I can see all the new threads and discussion from my account on lemmy.one.

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Did anyone catch who had the 49-46 Moreno card? lmfao

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

DC telling a story and forgetting the fighter's name.

[-] lackthought@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

he does that a lot lol

Razorback fan here, I have PTSD

Him, a bimbo and a harley ruined our football program for a decade

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There's also the rumor that he was beat up by her boyfriend and it wasn't a motorcycle accident.

So much drama around him. Gonna be fun with him with Texas A&M lol

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Hooker reminds me of Rory MacDonald at the end of his career

A lot of the skill is still there but there's no head movement, and no confidence

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Rory was so sad to watch. Robbie broke him but after he had to be carried to the back after the first fight with Lima, which he won, he was done.

[-] BingGoose@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Fuck it, Dricus is gonna be middleweight champ isn't he

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He's gotta put Izzy on his ass to beat Izzy. Pereira is better than him in every way on the feet and has had more than enough trouble with Izzy.

[-] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Dricus is awkward AF though. It looked like the soles of his feet were greased the way he was slipping around.

[-] DirtyDan@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Well since we have so much downtime, What fight are you guys most stoked for?

[-] theyprovidethepaint@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Turner v hooker probably, though I’m also excited to find out if DDP can pull off yet another “call an ambulance, but not for me!”

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

I hope Hooker does the damn thing tonight. He took a lot of risks by fighting top shelf opponents and then by changing weights. I wanna see him back in the mix.

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

the crowd makes such a difference, it's nice to watch a fight that doesn't sound like it's in an empty church.

[-] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I kinda liked the smack of heavy shots landing and the stunned silence in the Apex when Francis was in there.

[-] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Herb angry. Never make Herb angry.

[-] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

He might Hulk out and warn you again!

[-] chambee@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago
[-] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hope he’s got a steel cup. I’d love to see the Bo Nickal hype train derailed.

EDIT: Welp, so much for that. Can’t argue with that result. Damn!

[-] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago
[-] ugmug@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Man I hope so. I want to see him get one more crack at Izzy.

EDIT: 😭
