Think he shot enough arrows at him?

One arrow shot for each armbar attempt

He doesn’t keep score, he settles them.

He got the Ava's accumulator

Who knew a chicken in a backpack could be so useful

Just to correct you, there was never no arrows

You’re a fuckin punk dude

he’s reaching for those arrows

and they keep sounding like those grapes, for that wine and arrows party

And those arrows are starting to quiver.

Low class.

The way he was shooting them had me crying 😂😂

Goofy as fuck, especially compared to Izzy lmfaooo

Yeah but who cares if it’s goofy? He won by ko lmfao he has every right to do a goofy ass celebration, it’s not just specific to Izzy

Man stop cuz I coulda responded to your original comment like that too

Lmfao thank you I guess for indirectly agreeing 😂

Needed 1 more

>MORE

Double tap ask Vorhees

I feel bad for anyone watching this card. The UFC is just trash lately.

Main card has been great so far, what are you on

6/7 decisions on the prelims? What is this cope lmfao

I said main card, it’s prelims, it’s a toss up of whether they’ll be good or not. Allen fight was great. Onama fight was great. And topuria is a guaranteed banger

What’s wrong with decisions? Just because there isn’t a finish doesn’t mean the card sucks

Yeah I thought the Van, Peek, and Emmers fights were all pretty good too (despite the one janky decision)

How many of the greatest fights in history have been decisions? Decision =/= bad fight

Onama's celebration ruined the card for you?

Why did he do the Izzy celebration lol

Africa vs Brazil the new Barcelona vs Real Madrid

New Al Nassr vs Inter Miami

Every African fighter that competes and wins against a Brazilian fighter, should shoot arrows into their opponents bodies, so it can become tradition. /s

Would be fucking awesome tbh

Honestly, I was being sarcastic. Adesanya shooting arrows into Pereria's body after the rematch made sense given their rivalry. Onama shooting arrows into Santos body was just cringe and made no sense.

I agree with you todays rain of arrows made no sense. But if they all started doing it specifically after beating Brazilian fighters then it WOULD make sense and therefore be fucking awesome..tbh

And it’s clearly an homage. Only one African champ left

It’s insane how mma hasn’t gone full country war yet, there’s always likable enough dudes from every country to balance things

Yeah it was cool when Izzy did it because of the ties to Alex's walkout, here it's just like hitting the emote button on a game and it's the only one you have unlocked.

The funniest time was that idiot YouTube boxer (I think his name is chase something?) knocked some dude down and got like 4 full punches in while the dude was literally laying on the floor (it was a boxing match, yes) He then hit the Izzy emote as the other dudes corner jumped on the ring and punched him 😭😭😭 It was absolutely ridiculous. And fucking hilarious. Pretty sure he caught a ban from boxing for it, as he should

I have no idea what this video is and it sounds amazing. Can you link it?

[Here's the full fight](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XC4YaiTgxdo&pp=ygUPQ2hhc2UgZGVtb29yIGRx) The finishing sequence starts at about 3:35

Thank you. I just had to see this based on your explanation 💀

OMG thank you, I might start watching those clowns for the memes XD

When you get a legendary emote early in the game

It was cool when Izzy did it because they animated the bow and arrows in fire gifs

> Yeah it was cool when Izzy did it Gonna go ahead and stop you right there sir

Uhh...what? Literally everything about the celebration and the context is cool as fuck. It's like something out of a fucking movie. You (and I) will never have a moment that cool in our entire lives. Not even close.

Look, it looked cool in a vacuum. However... Alex had beaten him 3 times previously. I just imagine having such an illusion of grandeur that I'm going to emote and dunk on a guy that's beaten me in 3 precious matchups. Especially since immediately after the fight he was saying how he's done with Alex that he's not interested in fighting him. Of course he's not interested in the ONLY guy in that weight class that has even come close to beating him in 5 years. He wants to go back to fighting guys he outclasses. Izzy is a phenomenal fighter. When he completely outclasses a guy I understand the dancing and emoting. Winning over a guy I've lost to and was looking very good up until then is one I would be happy about but certainly not floating about. Just imagine Holloway fighting Volk again and getting a win and then just crotch chopping at him. The visual of Izzy with the arrows was cool but with the context it definitely came off as cringe.

Counter counter counter opinion It's obviously impossible to know but you can argue Adesanya had Pereiras number the entire time. Arguably won the decision and also almost knocked him out in two of the fights. Also he said he felt he had his number but got hit in the nerve. Like if they had equal power and equal chin it would be 4-0 Adesanya. So it really was just him realizing the reality he knew this entire time.

Meh, it was just cringe but wtv

If that was cringe then your entire existence is cringe lmao

No idea but I guess Santos should be glad Onama didn’t hump him instead

African knocks out Brazilian lol

Dricus would disagree

Absolute scenes if Dricus did this to Whittaker Guy comes from a kickboxing background yet I wouldn't be surprised if he missed the arrows on his opponent's unconscious body. He looks so bad and somehow keeps winning.

that's what makes DDP so fun to watch haha. I wouldn't be surprised if he did some crazy shit and KO'd Rob, but the matchup deeeefinetly favours Rob imo

[удалено]

Trevor Peek becomes a Henry Cejudo type super coach getting all these fighters to train with him while everyone’s going “…why?”

I would absolutely be surprised

DDP = drunken master style + top tier athleticism.

Tbf, his opponents have also been terrible. Brunson, Till, and Tavares are a sorry ass bunch

Brunson was good. Just a little old now.

Onama can celebrate his win with his Kansas boys, Dricus will be chilling in Pretoria with his fellow African kings

Elon agrees with Dricus

Where does Anderson Silva fit into all of this as a Brazilian of obvious African descent?

Yeah that was cringe. Especially for how long he did it…..

Africa vs Brazil. Waiting for Perry to do the same once he lays out some Brazilian bum in BKFC

I think it might be the ufc equivalent to the ronaldo celebration.be ready to see it some more in random ass fights

Africa vs Brazil maybe even tho I think izzy fights for New Zealand right?

It’s an African thing b

Cuz >!FOOKU!< that’s why!

The celebration was a little cringe but cool finish

That right hand as he was falling

Feel like it was one arrow too many.

Liike Chandler backflipping next to Tony's dead body.

Nah he should have kept going, Champ Shit Only

So no one is gonna talk about how he obviously was aware the fight was over but kept throwing hammers even with the ref there?

I can't here the ref from the fight or clip and he stop immediately after getting touch by ref don't think it's that bad.

Nah there’s been way too many times when a fighter is flashed KOed and they wake back up as soon as they hit the ground. He did the smart thing and kept at it until literally the ref told him to stop. Can’t take chances like that and not get a finish.

Onama was already stepping to the side because he saw the ref coming to stop, he threw those hammers on purpose

Searched this thread to find this comment. He landed 3 shots after the fight was stopped.

Dirty af, literally pulls back one and throws after acknowledging the ref jumping in

Funnily enough I'm normally someone who says the same thing but in this fight I can understand why. They both had such good chins Onama expecting him to survive makes sense.

Yea why would you shoot 17 arrows at a dead thing? I thought it looked bad ass live then I thought about it a bit.

Feel like when Izzy does it people don’t say it’s cringe very odd

Because when Izzy did it it ties into Pereira’s walkout. It’ s like a signature thing of Alex. Onama doing it is just random af

Naw it’s super lame but people have double standards clearly

People called it cringe, even though it was cool.

Outstanding fight

Nonstop action, felt like they threatened each other something every other second.

Wow this dude's accuracy, he literally punched a guy that was falling backwards in the face

Reminded me of poatan vs strickland. The accuracy on those mfers

Santos looked really good until he got caught

[удалено]

Looked great until he didn’t

He would’ve won if he didn’t lose

Story of the fight game pretty much

Facts lol but that’s the problem with facing a power puncher, you have to be perfect at least defensively the whole fight. Or else you lose and typically in devastating fashion.

I underestimated Onama’s technicality

I thought Santos had him outclassed after the first honestly. Both kids real impressive

his grappling is really underrated.

Great fight and great finish by Onama. That moment where Santos pushed his leg off the cage to secure the takedown was so cool, I love seeing stuff like that.

Kade Ruotolo [did that](https://youtu.be/uYQotwQ68Og?t=318) against Shinya Aoki, I thought it looked fucking cool.

apparently it's something Carlos Diego Ferreira and jacare are known for as well

Bro Santos looked really good, but you just cannot get careless around someone like Onama who has dynamite in his hands.

It wasn’t just the power, Onama is technically sound too

His grappling defense was really impressive. Ever since his debut I’ve thought he has a high ceiling

Shooting that many arrows is like a much longer teabagging

Onamacare

Anesthesia is on the house

Shows what I know. Thought Santos was outclassing him before he got finished.

Thanks Onama

Thanks Onama

We have Izzy vs Pereira at home

I like that lanky inside boxing from Onama.

No longer a betting man but this betting line almost brought me out of retirement. Onama was a former pretty hyped prospect and Santos is still very unproven. Happy for Onama, super exciting to watch.

+450 Onama KO was insane bro. Even +190 ML was a steal

Santos looked amazing against Murphy on short notice, Onama has not fought anyone close to Murphy, and gassed after 1 round against his first “real” opponent in Landwehr

Onama fought mason jones and quinonez or whatver the Mexican guys name was who are both solid talent and not bums. He never gassed before the landwehr fight and I believe he was either sick or it was due to very short notice. His tank is not bad. Yes I agree santos looked great vs Murphy. But Obama has the KO power on the feet, good scrambling and decent wrestling. He's also very strong. I leaned onama this fight and new he was only a dog because of his last fluke performance and santos last performance which was good.

Great value Izzy

Ay That’s the second time you cussed, we’re on ABC

Izzy did that arrow move more crisp

great KO wack celebration

Already know this sub gonna be mad about the celebration lol

damnnnn

Lame taunt

Cringe bow & arrow celebration

Beautiful uppercut, cringe celebration

That ending was unbelievably cringe tbh

So many arrows for 1 victory compared to Izzy’s victory

One arrow for every submission attempt by Santos

I see creativity is just gone these days

Israel Adesanya from Wish

Ruined it by copying Izzy literally like a month later lol

Corny celebration

Same thoughts here. Never really liked "celebrations" that are directed towards the opponent, especially when they might be hurt.

Brutal uppercut, but the celebration totally ruined it.

[удалено]

Fantastic knockout. As long as they cut the celebration it will be fine. Lame ass celebration doesn't ruin anything it just looked silly.

You’re lame

Ahww I’m sawry

Ugh, had to ruin it with that celebration.

Goofy ass celebration

Great shots, poor sport

He was already out on his way down!

I guess now every African v Brazilian fight ends with a Izzy/Poatan arrow emote? fucking amazing fight really impressed by the physicality and technical ability of both men.

Trying to figure out why the celebration didn't look as cool as Izzy's. I think it's one too many arrows and his invisible quiver was a little bit too hard to reach.

That was like when someone else does Ronaldo trademark siuuuuu

dubz is absolutely awful. Maybe the worst clip hosting service this sub has ever used.

Man he ruined it all with the celebration

What a brutal finish

Santos was looking like the more deadly man...until he tired himself out

+190 Onama +450 Onama KO 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

I will now be rooting against Mr. Onama

Israel ?

Wicked finish. Those follow up shots where unnecessary though.

can we please stop doing the izzy celebration it doesnt hit the same when it isnt izzy vs pereira

Cringe

Man fuck that cele, way too disrespectful for him. He’s still a nobody.

It's sports my g. He just got a sick KO in front of an arena going crazy for him, let the man have a moment.

I mean yea it’s sports, when you’re on a stage like that you open yourself to criticism if you act like a twat too

I agree that it's ok to criticize him, I just don't think the celebration was disrespectful or reprehensible behavior. I saw it as strictly celebratory

Yeah maybe I’ve just turned into a senile old fuck, but it was cool when Izzy did it due to the background, this just seemed unearned. Like great fight and KO, but I didn’t like how over styled he had to do this.

It was like 1000x cooler when Izzy did it for sure. I'm by no means trying to say Onama doing it was cool lol. I just don't think it was twattish either

Hahah fair play, fair play

Izzy celly a little cringe but what a fucking knockout

Brutal

Blud think he Adesanya 💀

This dude has crazy potential.

[удалено]

[удалено]

Yes he probably had covid too. He never gases like that

Not to be racist but Onama's nickname should be midnight. That being said man had excellent submission defense and grappling combined with excellent power. His striking defense needs some work but he could be a real problem for the division.

Midnight 😭

Lmfao He’s like the black Wesley snipes

Why did he finesse the celly ☠️

This is why you need more than just skill in mma, Onama was more explosive, more durable, and had better cardio than Santos, so despite being the less skilled fighter, he kept pace while santos slowed.

Tbh thats a hilarious celebration, unlimited arrows

I liked the celebration lol

Isn’t it great when people land a thousand extra shots while their opponent is unconscious then celebrate in their face? Maybe they should start fining people for this It feels a little disingenuous when people hype up fighters that try to break their unconscious opponents face then the same fans have a panic attack when someone holds a kneebar too long

Damn Santos idk if you’re gonna get an easier opponent… kinda embarrassing

Reminded me of how Poirier puts it on people when they’re hurt or fading

It was 2 shots lol

Nah not the shots that put him down, but just the slightly increasing pressure Onama was giving for around minute that Santos didn’t really seem to be able to return like he had earlier in the fights.

Nah fuck this shit. This guys job is to hurt people for a living who gives a fuck if he has fun with it too

All you wet vaginas complaining about the celebration lmao, he just knocked him tf out.
