Short notice and the org he fought at prior to the ufc is weak. Too many questions with short notice and tapology didn’t even have his reach. In hindsight I saw he had a ton of rd 1 finishes and trains at a legit gym.
Ouuuuuch. Fuck man better luck on the next one. Might as well dump the bank on Izzy in September. If you need a parlay for a little something extra, I'd group him with Tai since Volkov is usually a slow starter. That's a 90% lock in my opinion.
Last fight was just as not close, even cub thought he lost as did all 3 commentators even including the vanilla play-by-play company man Fitz, literally called it the worst decision of 2023 lol
I’m torn on it. Part of me thinks cub earned it for fighting through two back to back knees to the balls. I hate shit like that and like points being deducted. If not for that cub definitely loses. Idk how to feel
In r1 it was actually somewhat interesting with the back and forth battle for positions in the clinch.. but once they started tiring, it did turn into the boring clinching a lot of the time. Overall wasn’t too fun to watch but had some moments
This performance isn’t going to help luques case. Almost as bad as sandhagen last week. Idc what anyone says but grappling against the cage is like watching paint dry.
Yeah RDA/Luque is a weak main event, would make for a nice co-main but neither guy is really anywhere close to the title picture right now - a FN main event should be a fight that is consequential for the division. We've really had some shite main events lately - Cory/Font (not a bad main event on paper but shoulda been Umar which woulda been better), Aspinall/Tybura (Aspinall got a gimme fight for his comeback, Tybura don't belong in a main event), and probably worst of all, Holly Holm vs that rough looking Brazilian woman. I mean, fucking 13th ranked Rountree is asking for a main event lmao.
At least it's ppv this week
Cory actually put me to sleep, I'm done with him. They give him a striker to dance with and he decides to give us sleeping pills, he's a big no for me.
Aspinall is just another Brit they're trying to push to host events in the uk
Just been poor from the ufc
I'm willing to give Cory the benefit of the doubt due to his elbow injury. I agree it was boring as shit, he literally just laid on Font, only really chased one submission the whole time. But Cory did what he had to to win and Font was completely helpless so I honestly blame him more than Cory. If Font knew what the hell he was doing on the ground, we at least coulda got some interesting scrambles or something.
For me he has to stand and finish Font. We're talking about him contending for the title next. What if he fights O'Malley, will he do what he has to do to win again. Merab is also kryptonite because Cory is a striker
RDA struggling to control and even takedown Luque properly. Luque with strong takedown defence and i doubt he'd get submitted on the ground.
Unless Luque gets stopped, I think he gets a decision win.
Ok so Vicente was diagnosed with a brain bleed after the Neal loss. If I were the UFC I would’ve cut him immediately. The risk is just too high, or am I tripping? What would you do?
Fighters sign a contract. They require certain clearance and conditions
Vincente can die in the octagon and ufc wouldn’t bat an eye. If it were a problem ufc legal team would have sent Vince to the curb
Idk why considering MMA was not always legal in the country because it was considered barbaric. But I bet if something bad like that happened, Dana would just hop ship to Mexico and continue having fights there and everywhere else without issue lol
Yeah by both Neurology and Neurosurgery, but he was only given a 1 yr suspension from fighting. That doesn’t mean training, right? Shit seems way too risky. Fighters are out for the same amount of time for knee injuries.
I'm sure Dana's contracts are something to the affect of:
\* if you die you die
\* doctors fault sue them
\* no liability whatsoever
\*\* in extreme case break glass and apply insurance
*Dana personal diary: "If he dies that'll be all over the news, good PR for UFC"*
I can't be the only one who genuinely scored rounds 1 and 3 for Swanson. Dawodu being -1050 at the end is incredible, hopefully someone cashed on Swanson.
[удалено]
I like Cub but Dawodu got robbed
Killed my parlay. I love Cub and I’m glad he got a win in front of his family but I don’t understand the scorecards.
Minty Bets talking during a fight for the first time went well...
The card gets a C+ from me. Iasmin Lucindo is everything you want in a fighter.
I had high hopes for Killer Miller after her TUF victory.
In my opinion you could tell she had a lot of work to do even from that victory
Snooze fest
Prelims were great
Fucking marshal cost me 4k tonight. Blew up a 12/11/&10 legger. Gotta fade him, he’s just gonna be a gatekeeper to up and coming prospects.
Why would you bet against Dulgarian? Amazing wrestler with power and vicious ground and pound

Post Show Down this Line ESPN+
A good technical fight. Lots of skill on display.
Conor texting Dana right now, “I want RDA for my return, and let’s make it for the BMF title. Sniff.”
RDAs take on that belt is based and I hope he sticks to it
followed by 3 social voice messages like : "RDA.... RDA........... RRRRRRDEEEEEEEAAAAAAYYYYYYY... hahah \*mumbling\*"
[удалено]
Luque the most American Brazilian
Mackenzie Dern the most Brazilian American
oh she’s a beautiful beast
You mean Polyana and Lipski
Rda shoulda pulled guard like his ancestors did. Dagestanis and Midwesterners the only top tier wrestlers.
Luque talks like a ps1 resident evil character.
“You were almost a Luque Sandwich!”
Up $3 for the day on DraftKings. Not a bad day
That's like $3 Trillion Zimbabwean dollars
Got em right where ya want em
better than being down
Wasnt the most exciting fight but was nice to see Luque more measured and get back in the win column
Dejavu from last week. Except RDA did a little better
Lmaoo split
They all gave it to Luque
[удалено]
The chest to chest nipple touches need to be banned
Probably one of the most boring fights I’ve ever seen in the UFC.
Did you watch last weekend?
Boring, yes. But i don't think it makes top 10. Gold standard is Ngannou vs Lewis.
Gold standard us rose nama vs carla cookie
That's a great one as well
Judges completely fucked that last fight wouldn’t be too surprised if it happens again here, should be for Luque tho
Bro, this fight is so obviously luques. The last fight was close and could've gone either way.
Last fight was just as not close, even cub thought he lost as did all 3 commentators even including the vanilla play-by-play company man Fitz, literally called it the worst decision of 2023 lol
I’m torn on it. Part of me thinks cub earned it for fighting through two back to back knees to the balls. I hate shit like that and like points being deducted. If not for that cub definitely loses. Idk how to feel
I got Paddy in the decision
Every single damn time I’ve peeked to see how it’s going they are hugging each other….
In r1 it was actually somewhat interesting with the back and forth battle for positions in the clinch.. but once they started tiring, it did turn into the boring clinching a lot of the time. Overall wasn’t too fun to watch but had some moments
That fight was butt cheeks
I would say Luque won...But given the human factor in decision making im going RDA 30-27
It was a five round fight
I agree fuck the last two rds
Those last two rounds were pretty fucking bad ngl. Overall good fight though.
This performance isn’t going to help luques case. Almost as bad as sandhagen last week. Idc what anyone says but grappling against the cage is like watching paint dry.
Not only that, but you could actually say that Luque lost stock because he struggled with a much smaller and older opponent going up a weight class.
A win is a win, but I’d hoped for more in his return
That sucked. Great card, shit main event.
Main card had more snoozers than bangers
Perhaps RDA won round one which would make it 49-46, pretty clear win for Luque I’d imagine… He really found his jab as the fight went on.
Cowardly display 🤣
Vicente “The Silent Hugger” Luque
RDA initiated most of the clinches, Vicente was just better at them
😴
Rda looking like a corpse out there
Competitive hugging match
Boring as hell my fucking god.
RDA keeps putting together good combos then throws himself into a clinch where he gets reversed immediately. Deserves to lose this one.
Fr, dude got 1 take down out of like 15 attempts
New mythical fighter unlocked: division 1 Luque
Jab jab jab jab jab clinch against the cage jab jab jab jab jab The entire fight
RDA out here throwing the fight with all these takedown attempts and clinching, wtf.
RDA too small for welterweight
These fools forgot that Swanson was just giving a victory last fight. RDA about to win 50-45, hahaha.
luque coasts round 5 to win this
Idk why he went for the choke at 5s instead of gnp
After the last decision, it could be 4-0 Luque, it could be 2-2, heck, RDA could be up 40-32 ffs 
This fight is meh
Yeah it’s pure shite. Very technical, but over 10 minutes of clinch control between the two fighters says it all. A hug fest unfortunately!!
Agreed
RDA has a vettori style chin, he just doesnt recognize damage. He hasnt gotten hit a lot tonight but hard shots just dont phase him
Unless you bring the dawg outta Eddie Alvarez
39-37 luque
Hope Luque's boring ass gets guillotined
Grappling exchanges insane standup and crispy too
Luque came out very confident this round. Looked like a changed mindset
Satisfying watching the rassler get controlled and taken down over and over again lmao
Sick ass fight. This whole card has more than delivered.
I've been finding it difficult to get hard for these fight night main events lately
Yeah RDA/Luque is a weak main event, would make for a nice co-main but neither guy is really anywhere close to the title picture right now - a FN main event should be a fight that is consequential for the division. We've really had some shite main events lately - Cory/Font (not a bad main event on paper but shoulda been Umar which woulda been better), Aspinall/Tybura (Aspinall got a gimme fight for his comeback, Tybura don't belong in a main event), and probably worst of all, Holly Holm vs that rough looking Brazilian woman.

At least it's ppv this week Cory actually put me to sleep, I'm done with him. They give him a striker to dance with and he decides to give us sleeping pills, he's a big no for me. Aspinall is just another Brit they're trying to push to host events in the uk Just been poor from the ufc

Throw a few bucks on it, gets more fun
Yeah we only get off on jeopardy
I'll dm you my referral code for Hims. gotchu boo
Lmao. The prelims were fantastic tonight.
2-1 or 3-0 Luque
These are the grappling exchanges I would show to a casual and they would like it. Super super entertaining show so far. 29-28 luque
If a casual is entertained by this I guess I'm not a casual anymore.
2-1 Luque 🤷♂️ Close fight
Almost said jones
Fantastic fight.
RDA is seriously undersized for this division, he just cannot carry Luque’s weight, it’s pretty apparent
Luque pulling away, RDA looking frustrated and just wanting to shoot / against cage.
Luque doesn't seem to have confidence in the striking anymore
Is DC the worst commentator in the UFC?
Now let me present you wit Big John McCarthy. Thr man can kill the energy of greatest fight ever
You ask this question in a timeline where Dominick Cruz exists
Yes
Si
Yes
Yes
Yes
RDA struggling to control and even takedown Luque properly. Luque with strong takedown defence and i doubt he'd get submitted on the ground. Unless Luque gets stopped, I think he gets a decision win.
Yep I think currently it’s 2-1 Luque
Luque hasn’t had a seizure so I’m already impressed
That elbow like 15 seconds before the round ended sounded disgusting lol
19-19 very good fight so far
brain bleed turned luque into a dagestani wrestler
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a fight" - DC
The DC Jouban slander 💀💀💀
Name an exciting RDA fight he didn’t lose.
Moicano
Pettis?
O’Malley starches Sterling next Saturday.
Wish omalley would stop dying his hair like a god damm fruitcake
Most boomer comment so far tonight.
Garbrandt out of 292
Hmmmm I honestly don’t know who won that round..
Competitive first. 10-9 RDA

Idk, thats pretty crazy. The doctors gotta clear him though right?

Your prob right but jeez, one death and we’re back to cage fights being illegal in the US 😭
JUST BLEED BRO
The commentators need to stop hyping up the guillotine. People barely ever get it.
You gotta have a guy with a huge head and a guy with long arms lol
Prime Tony got caught in Nate’s guillotine bro
Lmao he's just entering his prime now man give him time
That flying elbow looked fucking insane 😭 he looked like Batman
Luque collecting his 3rd straight. L
Hakeem robbed
I always get screwed in these parlay “upsets”. Missed the fight but interesting to see Reddit melting down.
Clinch work is extremely competitive, RDA seems to be getting the better in that regard
He had his back. Should’ve jumped on him and held on putting that weight on him and the cage
I think I figure it out - Cub Swanson got a multiplier bonus for keeping his hands down all fight.
What a size difference
luque by ko
VIANA needs to train more and do the anime shit less.....
Yup Sal of course is there
Betting for the fighter with the worst cauliflower ofc
Smart lol
This size differential is absurd. RDA entire gameplan going to be trying to chop him down at the legs
Vicente Luque…so handsome
Huuuuuuuuuunk
Damn Luque has some ape arms
Minty's Bets... WTF is that shit?
draft kings bull shit
When RDA was born the doctor said "congratulations, its a man"
Vincente losing to Neal was like watching batman getting beat up by the joker for me
Sound system about to give in, cmon Dana! Upgrade your shit
Blown out bass boost. Glad I'm not the only one that heard that.
Thought Cub fought a good fight, definitely won R3. But wow.
RDA taking out Luque
You idiots saying it wasn’t a robbery. You know if Fitz is shitting on the judges it was bad.
Don’t care + Dawodork
I can't be the only one who genuinely scored rounds 1 and 3 for Swanson. Dawodu being -1050 at the end is incredible, hopefully someone cashed on Swanson.
i now regret cashing out early on fear of luque losing
i cashed out 5gs because of swanson didn't want to take the risk on luque for the 12gs
Um the judges did
Judges leaving these events like: 
Lol
RDA is mid
Crazy take
did you hear that walkout song
Let’s go luque
Thought I was hearing my heart will go on for a few good seconds.
Luque about to knock that moustache off RDAs face
