McGregor tweeting at Gaethje is just embarrassing imo

I think that's the right decision. In saying that I wouldn't have been all that upset if it went the other way

Tony has landed 100 headbutts against Bobby's fist, bold strategy

Head Kick City

Somebody put on twitter that:

Justin Gaethje looks like he still goes out in his back yard and looks for interesting bugs under rocks

now I cant unsee it

Green by sub was not on my bingo card.

I hope Tony retires rather than getting cut and going to some other org for more CTE.

THE BLACK BEAST!!

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

Maybe that was Herbert Dean that was in there so quick!

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

damn, nice kick but now I'm sad

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

it's alright to be sad.

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

I was there when Derrick Lewis did this.

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

Gaethje now shooting takedowns and throwing headkicks in his last 2, terrifying idea

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

Jan breathing heavy.

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

Hey Google, what would "achy breaky heart" look like as a MMA fighter?

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

depending on how this fight goes... could be the last good fight we get out of one of them because damage.

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

He got killed.

I don't hate Izzy but I love Poatan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have it 29-28 for Alex, but who knows? Some judges put a ton of weight on takedowns.

He actually landed that flying knee!

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

Ok, Jan is gassed. Now we see if Alex can make it happen. The pressure is on.

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

Tony has nothing more to give, really wish he would retire. I’m sad he hasn’t got the best prospects for post-fighting careers though. I don’t think he’s going to be good at commentary with the amount of CTE he’s got now. He won’t be in high demand as a coach because he’s so whacky with his style rather than being a technician. Feels bad man.

ran right through him.

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

Who the hell had Bobby Green by submission in R3? Not me.

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

This is the opposite of what I wanted to see. Tony is eating a lot of shots.

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

I can’t say I expected anything like that! Wow! I guess his balls were still hot…

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

Bobby "HHH" Green

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

That was sad as hell.

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

just don't have Black Beast fight in Texas.

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

FUCK YES DERRICK LETS GO

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That sound almost made me feel bad.

I'm glad he is up and with it again. Dayum

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Tony went from "oh his BJJ could match Khabib"

...to lookin' like a blue belt all night long.

Didn't defend or fight that arm triangle for one second.

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

Nice to see Alex’s ground game tested.

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

Pereira is huge. How did he ever make 185?

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

Oh shit Jan is gassed.

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

It's absolutely unreal the shit that somebody the size of Derrick Lewis pulls off. Flying knees, jumping switchkicks... absolutely terrifying.

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

The thought of a dude who is 6'3 and 265lbs+ being able to do a flying knee is terrifying

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

Closer 3rd than I would have thought.

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

I thought his eye was bleeding there for a minute.
