Nice main and co-main in the UFC card this weekend, both should be fun fights, though the main feels a bit low stakes with both guys having lost to Pantoja multiple times already. Pretty good main card overall. Wonder what the last UFC card to not have anyone bigger than 155 was.

Also excited for PFL vs Bellator, disappointing that Pinedo and Magomedkerimov had to pull out but still a deep, fun card

Top 2 fights for the UFC card are good fights. Both would have been kind of low stakes until Volk lost. Now it would be nice to swap them. Not much interest in the rest of the card, but will probably be fun for the Mexican fans.

One of the few Bellator cards I might watch.

I’m gonna have a hell of a Saturday


Blew out my LCL and sprained my ankle in jiujitsu just in time to sit on the couch all day Saturday and watch fights. Pro tip: never roll with the 300 lb white belt trying way too hard. Tapped him twice, then the 3rd time we rolled his and my own body weight bent back over my ankle/knee. Big ol pop. Nice kid but f*** man relax a bit lol…I think I’m the 3rd or 4th person he’s hurt in 6 weeks. He doesn’t know BJJ etiquette yet

Yikes man feel better... at least it looks like a long day of fights.

Sure does, schedule looks glorious

And thanks I appreciate it. I’m gonna work arms for the next 2 months so that I ragdoll him when I return and teach him a lesson lol

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Everyone made weight except Edgar Chairez who missed by 5lbs and Daniel Lacerda missed by 1lb. UFC just gonna take a chunk from their purse lol

Ugh

Lacerda has no gas tank and Chairez was f***ing him up last time, I expect Chairez to win this one

Pretty sure Lacerda missed last time too iirc


Chairez is in a 7 way parlay I have over the next month and a half lol

 

[CDJ]

I think we’re gonna have some spectacularly bad pacing in Bellator vs PFL

 

[ZDH]

Kind of surprised Yair and Ortega are close to even odds. Probably gonna back Yair pretty hard.

I was coming here to say something similar lol I'm hoping with the bellator accusation some of their production people would influence them for the better.

Clarissa Shields is such a bad mixed martial artist, surprised she's even bothering to try this. Can't even make 155

I want to erase that fight from my memory

Pico is becoming who he can be

 

[MMC]

Damn nice sub for AJ, never see anyone run through Collard like that

 

[MMC]

Thiago needs to retire. His knees are just gone. Gonna be hard for him to get Ws in any promotion if he can't move

 

[MMC]

Nemkov looks great at HW

Nemkov looks great at HW

Thicc and still fast

 

[MMC]

Jackson ran through Cooper, still not sure how Ray became so washed so fast

 

[MMC]

Is Impa up 2-0?
