I guess I'm biased. When you turn your back on what you think is a walk-off KO, you gotta be damn sure what you have is a walk-off KO.

But it really was a hell of a shot. I'm surprised Reem wasn't out for a while.
I agree with the bolded. But the way I see it, that comes back to bite you when the other fighter gets in a good blindside shot to end it. Overeem was in no position to take advantage of that because he didn't know what city he was in.

Really not sure what Miragliotta is doing here, he seems to be stopping the fight and pushing Rozenstruik away, then doesn’t actually wave the fight off until a second later.

This is a good point. The ref screwed up and made it unfair for either fighter. His actions kinda indicated to JR that he’d won, so he walked away. But he also called the fight early before Alistair had a chance to show he could continue for the 4 seconds needed to win the fight.

At that point, someone was getting screwed.

Yeah, that was really screwed up. It almost seems like he decided to call the fight, changed his mind, and then changed his mind again when he realized that his reversal partly led to both fighters walking away from each other anyways.

I don’t know that Cerrone has the chin to deal with the Irish Elder Abuser.

For tonight main, Usman having way more power striking is a problem. I absolutely love Covington’s style so I hope he wins but he might be in trouble against Usman.

I have Aldo winning this fight. Marlon won the first 4 minutes but then I thought Aldo won the rest. Marlon ran too much for my liking even though the striking was about even.

Amanda Long is a national hero. Never heard of her till now but that was a good chug.

Yikes that was a win for Aldo

It was close

I had it 1-1 going into the third. Marlon ran most of the 3rd which I hate so I scored it against him. it is arguable that he landed the better shots in the 3rd. DC summed it up about the same way I saw it.

I haven’t seen Germaine fight before, but she winds that right hand up way too much and Nunes is going to crunch her when she does.

I usually view split decisions as ties, but it sucks for him. He deserves the W

I hate her so I hope so.

The way Amanda dips away from those high kicks, I’d feint one then throw a left hook.

Here something funny. Rhonda would run through this French lady but has no shot against Nunes.

It’s tough to generate power against a good clinch but I believe that is the traditional counter.
I meant Germaine. Amanda’s chin was just floating in the center of her body, and her arms were tied up in the clinch. Seemed like a big opening.

I can’t tell if Germaine has super tough skin or Nunes’ elbows are kinda flubby. Shocking to take so many ‘bows and not be cut.

How much does a championship fight have to suck that the side action in the booth is more entertaining

Below the waist grooming? It’s 2020, they can’t just say it trims your balls?

This is like the Transatlantic Siberian Orchestra version of the GoT theme. Now I wanna hear that jacked up Christmas song.

I don’t know what the fuck Jon Snow being 211 lbs when he was playing lateral ball is supposed to mean. Ortega blows up to 185 between fights.

I mean, when they gotta go to that and say you played in “rugby league”, you’re probably fucked. Surprised they didn’t show him bench pressing in college.
