Wtf was up with Kelleher's hair

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Deserved the loss on this abomination alone

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Holy shit, Emmet hits like a freight train.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

He really does, I didn't even see the overhand, thought he had hit him with a body shot.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That's what I wanted to happen but oof.. brutal

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Colby's leg looks gross.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Ah fuck, Tony don't keep doing this to yourself.

You did it all, no need to keep going.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Colby fighting scared.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

That was amazing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Okay, let's shut Colby up and call it a night.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

49-46 Edwards makes total sense. Fade into obscurity, Colby.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Wonderboy super game but Shavkat is too much of a monster.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Now he is styling on him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Main card time! Hope Colby gets his jaw broken again. Can't stand that absolute shitpile.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Rakhmonov ᕙ⁠(⁠⇀⁠‸⁠↼⁠‶⁠)⁠ᕗ

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Thank God he didn't lose to Kelleher looking like that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Jack Black baby

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Why did he accept the ground game? Fucking frustrating.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Time to retire, Tony. Please.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Buday rib cage makes him look like a refrigerator.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

3.30 am

Let's go!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Wonderboy walking out to Wonderboy is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

That's easily three rounds for Edwards.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Maybe Colby has Covid, of which he probably denies the existence.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

He's a MAGA idiot, or at least roleplaying as one, so being a COVID denier is par for the course.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Who do you guys got for Cody Garbrandt vs. Brian Kelleher? I'm leaning Garbrandt.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Sad to see the ghost of Garbrandt, hope his chin can survive

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Garbrandt should be a tad better, I guess, but my gut says that Kelleher will clip him and Cody's chin will fail.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Derrick Lewis and Manscaped is GENIUS marketing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Blistering pace to this first round. Love watching flyweights go at it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

What a fun fight from the flyweights

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Colby is 35, last fight was over a year ago, against a 38 yo Masvidal. His last win before that one was against a 38 yo Woodley in 2020.

If Colby wins this I won't just be sad, I'll be absolutely shocked.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

After round one it looks like you just might be right about that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Talk about undeserving of a title shot.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

It does my heart good to watch Colby lose.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Can't stand colby

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Damn, he is pretty much out wrestling Colby as well. Didn't expect to see that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Ouch, my arm

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Go Lipski!!

Hate seeing Tony lose :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Haha that corner sounds like it is just what Colby deserves.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

No decisions tonight!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Do the fucking Mike Tyson Tony!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Jesus Christ

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Shavkat "Merab" Rakhmonov I'm hating this dude.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm going to be out and about until the main card, so getting this up super early. Fights start in 6.5 hours. Let's get it!
