Holy shit what a KO

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, Kevin Lee's fall from grace has been something to behold.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m surprised the UFC brought him back after struggling to beat the ghost of Diego Sanchez.

I'm sure Sean is going to say something very intelligent in this postfight.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

His media day interview was painful and not in the fun Tito way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just got home and caught up with the Kevin Lee fight. Just brutal. I wonder how long he was out and still getting strangled.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He got flashed then strangled, tough way to go.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I feel bad for him. I hope he can bounce back. He is still young. Good for Rinat though. He seems like a respectful guy so all respect to him. Unbelievable highlight for the reel.

Thanks everyone for making the first 'post-rif, now kbin mma era' a thing

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Well this is the first post RIF, BUT this isn't the first. We had an event during the blackout that had the most comments on kbin ever. Like, ALL of kbin.

There were problems all event long this evening between kbin and lemmy and that sorta separated the crowd out, but we'll be back next event! Thanks for stopping by!

Clowned him with a full nelson. For shame.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

So Mel Gibson went to the apex to watch Sean Strickland vs Magomedov

I'm dead

Sick finish to the round from Guram! Had Brener on queer street.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

great finish

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Brenner looks like a marauder, crazy that he's able to do this to Guram.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I put the thread up early as I will be mobile.

Fights start at 4 PM ET, or approximately 4 hours after this post. Get hype!

[–] MMARefugee 3 points 1 year ago

There's something wrong with lemmy and kbin connection tonight. Womp womp.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I will be here at some point. Enjoy the upcoming fights.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The Romanov fight was solid, he showed some improvement. In round two, his jab was on point. Throughout the fight, his leg kicks were landing effectively. He showed what we knew he had, the big takedowns and heavy top game.

My two wishes for him are to lose weight and stop throwing himself out of position with big left overhands. He's still a good prospect in the HW division for me.

Just got back, lets dooo this

Think Bonfim wanted out, that hurts bad but didn't look under the chin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

The fuck was that celebration from Brito?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

A wild Joanna appears!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

35-8-2-2 record, whole lotta fights for a 29 year old in his UFC debut. 33 finishes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Looks like there's problems posting threads right now on kbin with the lemmy upgrade.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Somewhere, Rin Nakai is smiling.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sanko's been great on the mic tonight, just oozes charisma and excitement without trying.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's risky putting her with Bisping. The first time I saw them together, there were some cringe moments. I jumped on late so I haven't heard anything suspect from those two yet. I like Sanko.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is Damir time. You know this brother.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Dawson and Damir achieving the most homo-erotic position of the night

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

idk, the finger up the butt earlier was... up there.

Bruh replacing the bleep out with the mute out really ruined television.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Morales passing the gatekeeper test. Not setting any panties on fire with that decision though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, what a second round. Abus got totally outclassed and melted.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Strickland sorta fights like a Diaz just a ton of punches at 50% and then he stings you with a 90%er out of nowhere

I got my eye on Grant Dawson, Michael Morales, Benoit Saint-Denis, Rinat Fakhretdinov, Nursulton Ruziboev, Elvis Brenner, and Alexander Romanov. All fun fighters with upside in their divisions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I looked for this thread on lemmy but couldn't find it from there. Had to go find it on the fight thread on /r/mma unfortunately. I just searched @mma on lemmy.world and nothing came up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah something is broken right now between lemmy and kbin. I think it has to do with the recent lemmy update.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd love to stay here so I'll keep checking and deal with the growing pains. Without Reddit is Fun, they can get fucked.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

We'll be here!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dawson flying like a spider monkey

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Minty Bets sounds like the name of a black preacher who runs back alley dice games.

[–] theyprovidethepaint 2 points 1 year ago

Brener and Kutateladze put on a great fight! Winner deserves someone ranked next for sure

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hopefully kbin and lemmy will get their issues sorted out in time for the next event to get that thread rolling again like previously. Thanks for coming by everyone.

If you have time, please check us out during the week and comment in the threads. Lets grow this place!!!!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for organizing the thread and keeping it lively! Looking forward to the next one.
