Duncan looking for a highlight KO

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

Nasty finish.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

That was a nasty little sequence by Talbott starting with that body kick blast

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hooper VS Leavitt should be an interesting one

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Interesting post fight too

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't be a much better feeling than nailing a finish in your UFC debut

[–] ooi_vebnq@r.nf 2 points 2 years ago

Yes. Felt a bit to me like one of the reasons for him to stand Aguirre up was to get a nice finish as well.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

This fight is fuckin weird lol

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Wow this is a banger

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks everyone for participating! Hope to see you all again at the next one.

[–] teichflamme@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks for setting these threads up, man

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Matthews actually did get some good counters in there. He's worth keeping an eye on. Morales is just so fast.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Two interesting grappling matches today

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I wonder who is this motherfoker he called out.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Tiuliulin had no camp?

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

What did Talbott do to be such a wide favorite?

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Impressive round two by Ribas.

[–] ooi_vebnq@r.nf 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes but Pinheiro also started doing nothing but defense. And the latter went out the window in the third as well...

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Ribas sticked to southpaw and Pinheiro was lost.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Edson Barboza would be proud of that kick.

[–] ooi_vebnq@r.nf 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, what an amazingly interesting fight. Hooper's grappling is impressive!

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

Yeah he was right there at every step, didn't seem uncomfortable or nervous about getting into the grappling exchanges

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I say their fight should be a best if three.

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

I’m going to be out and about today, but I’ll try to get the finishes up as soon as possible. Fights start in two hours. Let’s go!

Hero ^^

[–] ooi_vebnq@r.nf 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks for the effort!

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

You’re welcome. Hopefully the bot gets fixed sometime soon so it can move the finishes over from reddit automatically!

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Doubt anyone is here already but that was kinda fun, arguably drawish potential after Estevam ate quite some damage while doing none at all himself in round 3.

Edit: Judges don't like giving a 10:8, not too surprising.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I liked this fight, classic grappler vs striker.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Ouch, Perez elbows are hurting ME.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Did not see that one coming. Nice.
