LOL DC whipped that mic away quick at the end there

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hahahah DC is getting good at that, did you watch the first fight of the night? The dude swearing at the crowd.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I missed that one, I'll have to check the vid after

Heart says Strickland. Mind says Adesanaya.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yep. Unless there's a MMA miracle tonight the belt stays where it is. But that doesn't mean I can't hope.

Damn. I tried to put $20 on Strickland as Buffer was doing the introductions. I was too late.

DC: Can you imagine a 6'7 guy on top of you?

Laura: ...n....no thank you....

How is it that Olivia (Female commentator. I probably spelled her name wrong) seems like the only commentator that did more than the most basic preparation for calling the fights? And why does she seem to have a greater depth of knowledge of the game than the others?

ran through him like nothing.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

This is a distance management fight. Tai can't get his fist in there far enough to connect, he keeps missing by a couple inches.

Kape is fun to watch, I’ll leave it at that lol

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Well shit, I didn't expect Volkov by submission. That was a fun fight.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I don't wanna see Volkov get flatlined, but I feel like that's what we're about to see

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Tai channeling Dustin with the way he keeps pulling his shorts up

[–] munter@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Strickland winning would be peak 2023.
