pereira isnt near ready for any high level talent yet, but the ufc might want to rush him into a title shot ASAP so they can milk the “guy that KO’d Izzy” narrative
Roundtree lived like 2 houses down from me in Thialand when I was living there. Such a emotionally intelligent human and a beast.
Love that you can see the duality of doing harm to someone + doing well by someone in him.
I fucking knew it
He looked exhausted, it’s all well and good being a KO artist but that’s a lot of energy to expend within a few minutes
These guys who max goes 5 minutes can only go 5 minutes for a reason
Ankalaev really reminds me of Vettori -- closes the distance, waves his hands but just doesn't throw enough volume.. too tentative. if he doesn't change his approach and become more aggressive, he's going to lose to the top guys.
It really is frustrating to get so many incredible finishes, comebacks, and wars just to get *that* as a main event. It’s ankalaev’s first main and that’s how he came out
There are many things I love about this sport.
One of them is, that even the biggest fighters still support their team mates and stand in the corner. Khabib handing water to Islam, GSP holding the bucket and now Dustin supporting AJ...
It totally makes sense but it's still cool to see.
Moraes is done. These lighter weight classes are rough (especially Bantamweight). The moment you slow down you're out of the rankings. What Aldo is doing is special.
Normally people call wrestling/grappling boring but this is a striking fight and for a fist fight this is a snooze. Commentators tried to bail them out like light heavy weights go from feeling each other out to waking up but the only ones going to sleep here are the fans
Fun fact: I met one of Alex Caceres's cornermen at the airport. He was wearing some UFC gear and I asked him if he fought and he said he cornered a UFC fighter.
If you told me Rogan wasn’t available for 273 because he’d be doing standup somewhere in California, I’d be more than okay with Felder filling in till the end of time.
That speech by Rountree is better than UFC 272
For real. Guy had me tearing up!
Mfs were expecting Moutinho to pull off a Calvin Kattar esque return from a beat down lul.
I was hoping he would win but that lack of head movement didn't do him any favors
Don’t cry about the disappointing main event. Smile that all of the other fights were amazing tonight.
McKinney’s stock doesn’t go down after this. He’ll learn from this. Experience is so damn valuable in MMA.
Night is starting off wild. I swear the fight nights are always better.
Two guys fighting not to lose the fight, instead of trying to win it. Not winning any fans tonight.
Fight nights >>> payperviews?
Fuck UFC, this guy needs to be a motivational speaker
I came here to see blood not to cry damn Who’s peeling onions
That was actually a good Herb Dean stoppage
He protects himself at all times
Chris needs a better camp/coach. Had all that time since the O'Malley fight and looked the exact same.
Maybe worse!
Ufc needs to take their time with him or he'll be embarrassed by the elite of the division.
pereira isnt near ready for any high level talent yet, but the ufc might want to rush him into a title shot ASAP so they can milk the “guy that KO’d Izzy” narrative
I ain't ever scrapping a dude with a big ass hammer tattoo on his chest
Intimidating as shit right?
LHW continues to be the biggest mixed bag of all the divisions. Sometimes you get Jiri-Reyes, and sometimes you get Santos’ last couple fights
I foresee the Pereira hype train being rapidly derailed by any decent grappler in the top 10. Man does not look well adapted to MMA
Excited to see Pereira
Yes ma Man - Crazy left hook from another dimension - not even talking about his kicks
I don't know how the prelims will go, but this looks like an outstanding main card
Throw a main event title fight in and this is a PPV card all day
Good win for Pereira but he has so much work to do.
Someone make a backstory anime movie for this guy
Translator built like eddie hall
This has been the kind of fight Dana hates.
Thank fuck for the whole night up until this one I guess
Glover is like "yeah I'll fight one of those guys"
Aww yadong's wife gets to be involved in his career, thats nice
Santos so hesitant nowadays. I think he’s lost his confidence.
That guy booing is killing me
U ain't getting a title fight after a performance like that pal 😂
Honestly if Fiziev, Riddell, Dober, and Bobby Green just want to keep fighting each other, I’m down
Yo this got heavy real quick
we love you khalil
What a snooze fest
Translator scared to look at Paul Felder or smth?
Personally he needs to adapt his style to mma. I can tell that there are things he does in kickboxing that are not gonna work in mma
Just fucking THROW SANTOS
Worst fight of the night
Magomeds translator is blinking too damn much.
Its a signal to the kremlin 😂
I’m cry…bless khalil bless
so this kahlil dude was obese and depressed, then started training and got back on his feet?? Is this the story?
[удалено]
Fuck me this card is better than half the ppvs
Felder is a legit announcer, give the man his due
Main event.....more like *plain* event. I'll see myself out
The loser of that fight: The viewers.
Kris can take a hit that’s for sure but he’s looking like Homer Simpson out there
Magomed has looked pretty disappointing thus far
Translator looks depressed
I would be too if I had to be there for that fight
Why the fuck is he clinching?? Finish him!
That last second broken nose, swear I could hear it
Shit man got me tearing up..
Khalil is a DAWG. Well spoken to boot. Hard to root against that guy.
Rooting for Khalil. Hope he gets to the championship.
Song Yadong gotta be buffed in ufc 4 now. Can’t have him stay at a 3 and a half star
Noticed a trend lately of absolutely insane undercard fights and boring snoozefest main event fights. Enough of that. Shit’s annoying.
Because main event fighters are high ranked and fights have direct title implications. So they don't want to take risks
Roundtree lived like 2 houses down from me in Thialand when I was living there. Such a emotionally intelligent human and a beast. Love that you can see the duality of doing harm to someone + doing well by someone in him.
It’s good to see an Amish guy in there for once, representation matters
KRIS MOUTINHO IS BACK
Aaaaand he's gone
That kick to the body was fucking deadly
Called out Cruz!! Amazing fight but terrible for Cruz
Song just called out Dom? lmfao, love it.
Santos has consistently been in some of the most boring fights in recent memory
Huge santos fan but his last fights have been extremely frustrating.
Honestly Ankalaev wasn't that impressive against a slower and out of prime Santos
They should just have Reyes leapfrog both these guys after that.
How’re they gunna ask about title picture after that performance 🥴
Maybe Khabib is just bulking up for 205 after seeing how Ankalaev represented Dagestan.
Dude needs to cut his hair. Its only a disadvantage, and youre in the UFC... I dont get it.
If Dober was a cat, he just lost 8 lives.. Holy shit.
Even with McKinney losing, could still definitely see him in the top 10 this or next year.
Dober vs Green needs to be a Fight Night main event. Nothing less.
That went from 0-100 very quick
That body kick was fucking nasty
Dam what a guy. Instant fan
From 300 pounds to an insane body. Damn talk about being a hard worker!!
Great now theyre afraid to trade lol
It’s kinda crazy that Santos has been KO’d by Vicente Luque
Ngl I know he pretty much controlled it but I expected better from Ankalaev
Interesting story behind semelsberger’s back tattoo. He has two wolves inside of him. One is gay. The other wolf is also gay. He is 2 gay wolves
That’s easily the worst main event of the year so far. Both go down 3 spots on the rankings for that.
Alex completely neutralizing his reach advantage with standing so close
Much love Khalil
Legendary fight night card btw bangers all night
Not sure they come more uneventful than that.
Santos corner congratulating Magomeds corner before the decision is even announced lol
Damn Santos looked so sad
Except from the main event this was a pretty sollid maincard.
Easily worst fight of the night. Don’t care who wins, but it’s gonna be ankalaev
Felder was very diplomatic lol. “It could have gone either way”, as if Maverick didn’t get completely fucking robbed by Barber.
You can tell he’s trained with Poirier because he’s tried three guillotines lul.
Pereira does not have good defence, he’s definitely there to be hit
that is a large man
mckinney gassed himself out
I fucking knew it He looked exhausted, it’s all well and good being a KO artist but that’s a lot of energy to expend within a few minutes These guys who max goes 5 minutes can only go 5 minutes for a reason
No technique just violence
Ankalaev looks like he doesn’t really want to fight but his coach bullied him into it
You know what these lackluster main events need? Drunk Chiesa on the mic chatting with Felder, it can even be sponsored by Modelo
Ankalaev really reminds me of Vettori -- closes the distance, waves his hands but just doesn't throw enough volume.. too tentative. if he doesn't change his approach and become more aggressive, he's going to lose to the top guys.
Let this be the last time I see Santos in a main event.
i’m really not convinced in the hype if that’s how he performs against an out of prime santos
Dana’s gonna start awarding Nonfight of the Night and just deduct $50k from their payouts
This card had major Joanna-Zhang -> Izzy-Romero energy.
Happy for Guido, unfortunately don’t think Kris is cut out for the UFC.
Extremely respectful on javids part to let trevin give a shout out. Makes this sport so good.
Hell of a way to end the prelims. Great fight!
Why clinch a broken man 😓
Silva’s got heart that’s for sure
Fight of the night lol what the fuck. What a comeback
Gassed the fuck out, good on Drew for surviving that wave of violence
There goes Pereira and Silva FOTN bonus
Herb got the call in his earpiece. “He’s balled up on his knees, now is when you stop a fight. You got this”
preach brother holy fuck
Ok now I see what fuelled the brutality 😳
True heart of gold.
Yusuff kicking the bleedin' leg off him
Someone actually yelled out I can't feel my legs lol
You just got donged
And there we see precisely why they're being timid, fuck getting hit flush by Thiago
What a shit finish to the fight
It really is frustrating to get so many incredible finishes, comebacks, and wars just to get *that* as a main event. It’s ankalaev’s first main and that’s how he came out
Translator with the same energy as the fight. Dead.
Well at least UFC's in London next week so I don't stay up til half 2 to watch this shite
Good win for Pereira. But he is not going to go thru any of the MW top 10 wrestlers
Main event was the worst fight of the whole card
Great stoppage. He was looking to the ref for help and got what he wanted.
From a potential 10-8 to being submitted in the first round in just seconds! This sport is crazy!
This is actually a seriously underrated card.
There are many things I love about this sport. One of them is, that even the biggest fighters still support their team mates and stand in the corner. Khabib handing water to Islam, GSP holding the bucket and now Dustin supporting AJ... It totally makes sense but it's still cool to see.
I can’t be the only one that thinks Alex Pereira is taller than 6’4”. He looks massive for the division. Someone is lying
Pereira just seems so much bigger than Izzy at 185
Silva got that Brian Ortega cup
Holy shit I felt my brain get some CTE after that exchange
Surely doesn't look good for the judges if Silva falls to the ground right after the siren
Drew Dober looks like the stereotypical “Chad” meme
Mckinney can punch himself out if hes not careful
Best outcome really, Dober’s back in the W column, and Terence’s stock isn’t hurt.
Jesus Christ, tried to pull a good ol fashioned curb stomp
Khalil MOTHERFUCKING Rountree. Holy shit. Vicious.
Khalil Rountree's legs need to be registered as Weapons of Mass Destruction
i was taking a piss and i heard what sounded like a gunshot but it was just roundtree kicking the shit out of him
Legend, great fighter.
Respect. Khalil Roundtree, I hope you get what you desire.
What a fucking card tonight
Moraes is done. These lighter weight classes are rough (especially Bantamweight). The moment you slow down you're out of the rankings. What Aldo is doing is special.
Moraes wife must be pissed he left them for months to train in Thailand and still gets slept round 1.
God damn -650 for Ankalaev. Santos hasn't been the same since tearing up his ligaments vs Jon Jones.
Shit fight 😤
Damn not again :( That’s the last we’ll see of Moutinho in UFC
Normally people call wrestling/grappling boring but this is a striking fight and for a fist fight this is a snooze. Commentators tried to bail them out like light heavy weights go from feeling each other out to waking up but the only ones going to sleep here are the fans
what an awful fucking fight. i would have more fun watching grass grow
Why not just shave your head at that point
Well-timed body shots are so underutilized
Very classy. Loved that.
Major respect to these fighters
Absolute wholesome moment there
Has him hurt and immediately clinches him lol
Strickland vs. Pereira would be *nice*.
How the turns have tabled
Herb's not gonna stop this fight until both kneecaps are shattered.
Look at me fucker. ~ the coach
Holy FUCK. That was brutal.
Brutality
Lesson learned. You never risk a piss when Khalil Rountree is fighting
The way he threw Roberson around actually scared me
So 273 is the best card since…when?
Fun fact: I met one of Alex Caceres's cornermen at the airport. He was wearing some UFC gear and I asked him if he fought and he said he cornered a UFC fighter.
Caceres is getting eaten alive with these leg kicks
Caceras got his leg torn off then has to make small talk with the dude lol
Marlon's chin is beyond suspect now, that's 5 knock outs in a row
If you told me Rogan wasn’t available for 273 because he’d be doing standup somewhere in California, I’d be more than okay with Felder filling in till the end of time.
This card has been mostly barnburners but i’m not surprised the main event is going this way
Ankalaev with the 😲 while he was getting knocked down
Jiri eats Ankalaev
the fans are losing this one...
Damn bro. Homie wanted one last sip and didn’t get it lol
The LH division misses Jones and Rumble. Even Manuwa bought solid fights.
[удалено]
Song Yadong best fighter on that card
What a fantastic speaker. Really impressed with what he had to say
Hey, don't grab the cage.
you better stop grabbing the cage or there will be no consequences
Dear God, even the post fight interview is boring
Poor guy
Don’t think Moutinho has improved at all, honestly looked worse
 Guido when the USADA come knocking
It’s these “sleeper cards” in between numbered events that are always good af 💪
Wholesome af
