I’m so sick of that dude who makes 15 names a day.
Any UFC fans here ? - big card tonight
- Thread starter L.O.D.
- Start date
I got banned from that thread I guess. I can’t post in that one thread only.
Hockit rocked Lewis hard. He was gassed. Definitely couldn’t see the right hands after getting split. He was working that side of his face bad.
It’s MVP promotions dude, it’s WWE yet the Paul Bros keep raking in the cash
Gaethje-Topuria was one of the best fights ever. Good Lord what a fight
Topuria's face was a mess.
What a card. Ilia topuria took such massive damage this could really impact his career. Helluva chin but that chin maybe costs him some longevity.
Honestly card kinda sucked I mean all knock out cool fun but like the last 2 events all the good fighters lost and the mid won wouldn’t be surprised if the heat influence things
Just got back from the ellipse. The main even was insane
I think he has multiple broken orbital bones. If his corner hadn't thrown the towel the kid might have gone blind. He was getting wrecked
It probably should have been stopped after the third.
Yep. The Dr has the authority to stop it. He did stop it and then was talked out of it. Why have a Dr if you are going to fight on no matter what
Great event. Enjoyed the fights and the atmosphere was incredible.
Yeah that fight was awesome, I can’t believe Topuria wasn’t out cold by then. He definitely broke his ribs with that knee to the side after round 4. He went to sit in the corner and missed the chair he was so messed up.
It was cool as hell. Awesome looking venue too.
Great card one of best I seen save a few "maybe". Main was a incredible fight . UFC definitley took a big loss as the UFC s 2 biggest stars Pereria and Topiria lost. Topuria will never be same fighter after that beating . Pereria looked like he just doesn't care anymore sadly. Hokit is gonna be fun lol. Ruff is a rising star .
Great card just wish it wasn't Sunday and I didnt need to getvup at 430 - tired AF right now.

Pereira moved up classes it’s not easy to do. He should stick to lightweight. He’s much better there. Gane is tough. He just had the power to hurt him bad. He was wore out after a couple of those shots. Gathje is a tough dude, underdog sure, but he’s a warrior and proved he’s no pushover with that beating.
The only issue I had was it was too long. The delay obviously hurt, but it was still over 4 hours long on a Sunday. So many probably missed the main epic fight because of work and how late it was. Lots of replay watching today I’m sure.
I don't think the loss hurts Pereira or Topuria myself. They were both coming up and fighting great fighters in a higher weight class. Gaethje dwarfed Topuria, and Pereria is still a great fighter, his power just didn't translate with the move up
I think that's why he couldn't find the stool. I think he couldn't see at all. I think that's what caused them to throw in the towel.
Crazy chin and heart, but that fight should've been stopped at the end of the third.
Justin is a gigantic light weight. He took shots that would've ended most everyone else in the weight class. Ilia is tiny.
Props to Gaethje. He absolutely destroyed Illa's face. Hell of a fight!
His power wasnt the issue imo. Hes atill got crazy power any weight class. He fought like he did the first Ank fight he just stood there and stared didnt really throw much. I could tell when he walked to cage he just wasn't engaged or locked in at all. Was weird like he just didnt wants to be there.
Illa is the better fighter he just fought a dumb fight - if a guy hits harder than you do and has a better chin than you - stand and bang fight you will eventually lose - he just charged in willing to eat Gaethjes bombs and it eventually destroyed his face.
You just described being intimidated. I know Alex got his weight there, but Gane was far stronger and more explosive IMO. Pereira is still a great fighter, but I don't see any change coming if they run it back
I think he had a cracked rib or two as well as the eye. Nothing good could have come from. 5th round. Topuria could have been injured permanently
Agree. He tried to put on a show. He did because that was an awesome fight, it just wasn't his best strategy because he pressed in too recklessly. You didn't even see his philly shell which he usually uses to perfection.
He landed several shots that would've ended anyone else. Justin is a huge lightweight with a crazy chin to boot. Just cant trade damage with him when you're tiny.
Topuria is a heck of a fighter. If he doesn’t have long lasting effects from this he will be fine. Highly skilled and has an iron chin.
Me too as it had to have an effect, no way he could see by then. I also think Justin broke his ribs with that round ending Knee to the ribs. He looked really hurt after that. Like he almost collapsed on that stool and missed it.
Idk man he’s got a damn good chin. Any other fighter would have been out cold by then I think. I don’t think that was his plan but walking into that uppercut really hurt his vision in round 2. It’s hard to guard after that. Then he started working his other side and it was over.
It’s admirable what he tried to do, like you said moving up that far is a tall ask. Gane is used to being that big. Alex probably lost some speed and stamina gaining all that weight too.
In addition to being absolutely worn out, that knee took the wind out of his sails. If anyone has ever broken a rib, it’s really really hard to breathe.
Gaethje is such a dog man. Such a damn dog.

I've watched the UFC since the original when there were no weight classes or rules basically. Ilia had one of the most mangled faces I've ever seen. Justin's jab and uppercuts were just wearing his face out. But there were two times where Ilia looked like he was gonna finish Gaethje on the cage. But I got that fight totally wrong. Should've ended before the 4th. Ilia literally said he couldn't see outta his eye.
I did get Gane vs. Alex right. Gane is just to powerful and fast. He's always moving. Alex looked hesitant the whole fight but props to him for going for history. Wish I'd of known you guys were watching. I literally forgot I had Paramount+ till I saw the app on my phone last night. Then I was like that's right, I got it like a week before my illness. Thank God I saved my password, I'd never remember that. But good commentary guys

.Brother I've had bruised ribs that hurt for two weeks. I can't imagine having an actual broken rib, which when they showed that knee to the 4th he had to of broken some ribs or they're made of titanium. Brutal.
Well he fought timid Ank 1 he was Aggressive in 2nd fight and ran through him . Im not sure if they run it back it isnt different it may be but that's a year away.
You could tell when the round ended Illa was hurting bad.
I dont think Topuria will fight for at least a year, which will take him out of a fight with Justin, if Justin even fights again and not retire. A fight with McGregor, provided he beats Max, would be a massive payday though
Exactly been saying Alex looked timid and gun shy the first ank fight but ank didn’t have the ability to finish him. Then the 2nd ank fight Alex just looked aggressive and dominated same with Alex gane fight Alex looked timid and gun but gane did have the ability to put him out and did so. So hopefully if they rematch Alex would be better.
