GDT: UFC Fight Night: Moraes vs. Sandhagen

[Chaels Arms]

Surprised Amirkhani survived

30-27 Barboza.

Solid fight. A lot of fighters probably get finished by some of those punches.

I hate when the announcers do that, don’t shove the mic in between them, that’s a moment between them. Just them.

 

[Avs_19]

I was rooting for Moraes but Sandhagen just made this tough by coming out to Gimme the Loot.

Moraes follows up with DMX. Can't go wrong with that either.

 

[Avs_19]

Strong start for Sandhagen.

Edit: Strong finish too. He looked great.

 

[YNWA14]

Feels like the commentators are biased toward Sandhagen but I thought Moraes won that round.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Omg

 

[YNWA14]

That finish though was fantastic. Wow.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Wow, what a finish.

 

[Chaels Arms]

What an unbelievable card this was

 

[Killahpunk]

Sandhagen gets it done with a solid finish.

 

[pistolpete11]

GREAT bounce back win from Sandhagen. Don't know if it's enough to get a rematch with Sterling should he beat Yan, but if Yan wins, he's the guy.

 

[Avs_19]

This was one of the most entertaining cards of the year.

 

[m9]

Great card.

Sandhagen looked great and that KO was awesome. Barboza looked good too.

Now lets put Ortega & Zombie in bubble wrap so they make it to next week.

 

[CDJ]

Amazing card top to bottom. Even the lower tier women’s fight almost had an up-kick KO ala Niko Price

 

[Perennial]

This is a contender for best knockout kick in MMA history...

I honestly have been wondering why nobody ever attempts it but I imagine it’s because if it misses youre f***ed

Props to Buckley for going for it and giving us a highlight we’ll probably remember for the rest of our MMA fandom

 

[Chaels Arms]

Buckley said afterward he practices that kick a lot but has never had an opportunity to use it in the octagon before. He went right for that move without hesitation so I actually tend to believe him.

 

[CDJ]

POTN

Sandhagen
Buckley
Breese
Daukaus

 

[Jasper]

Great card. That KO reminds me a lot of Uriah Hall's insane knockout in TUF. Both nasty as hell.

I thought the guy on the receiving end of Hall’s died

 

[CDJ]

I did some research and Daukaus came in something like 17 lbs lighter for this one than he did his first fight in the Ufc a few months back. He’s for sure trying to get down to 205 and I think he will be able to do it

 

[YNWA14]

On rewatch as flashy as that Sandhagen KO was I think the stoppage was premature. Moraes wasn’t really dropped so much as he went into a back roll (clearly stunned) and then when Sandhagen jumped on him the shots didn’t look super clean. I wonder if the ref was influenced by the orbital stuff being yelled out, which would be dumb.

Thought it was a really good/competitive fight until then. Would rather have seen it continue or at least have some closure on that finish.

I thought so too at first but upon re-watch I noticed how hurt Marlon actually was. Took him awhile to get to his feet. I think he got saved from some unnecessary damage (imo)

It was one of those stoppages that was probably slightly early but the ending was inevitable.
