Yoder is pretty cute

Duluth

@mariner4life and Souza isn’t

raznomore

@mariner4life she was a cheerleader

raznomore

Yoder stealing this with dominant position. I had to cash out. Cash was $101 so made a tidy profit....not $12k though..

raznomore

Yoder either has excellent late head movement or is fluking not getting kod by that over hand right

raznomore

Wow. Should have toughed it out dammit.

Yoder won that for me.

raznomore

Great set of prelims so far. Mixture of tough fights and one fantastic arm bar sub.

Pretty much the right decision in the main event. But although there was an eye poke, pretty classless of DC to just fuck off out of the ring.

It’s weird because he gave credit to Stipe in the post fight. But losing DC has always been a pretty cringey DC.

@raznomore

Maybe he was asked to rush to the interview? It didn't look good though

Stipe with a smart fight - wrist control in the clinch, a good amount of body work. He seemed to up the pace in the last minute of most rounds. Shame about the eye but Stipe was already taking control by then

Unfortunate injury in the co-main

MiketheSnow

Great night of fights again.

Watching JDS is like watching Arlovski (my fave heavyweight). Great technical skill, fitness and ring smarts.

But the punches don't quite have the same snap, and overall not as durable as in previous fights.

One lapse of concentration / over extending and it's all over.

Tough luck for Suga. But Vera didn't look overawed. Will be a good rematch.

Stipe outhought and outfought DC despite the eye poke.

Stipe won't beat Ngannou again.

John Jones who knows.

MiketheSnow

Watched JDS v Roz back.

Looks like Roz has 'bitch tits'.

Duluth

It'll take some time to gain the weight. So Miocic v Ngannou and the winner fights Jones?

I presume Reyes v Blachowicz will be for the LHW title now

Four Kiwis on the UFC 253 card

No location confirmed but rumoured to be Abu Dhabi. Thats good news for Adesanya, the smaller apex cage would've helped Costa

raznomore

@Duluth I'm obviously excited about the main event and the fact there are 4 kiwis on the card but I'm really looking forward to seeing Brad Ridell fight again. He had a tough as teak Aussie(whose name I can not remember) that refused to be KO'd 2 fights back and then a really contentious one against Mustafaev. I think he won that one fairly, after rewatching a couple of times. But the guy is an entertainer. I hope he makes a deep run in the UFC.

UFC VEGAS 7

Fantastic night of action

Comeback of the Year from Trevin Jones to TKO the much fancied Timur Valiev

Close contender to Comeback of the Year, Daniel Rodriguez KO against Dwight Grant

Highly skilled and patient win for Solecki

Great finish from Mike Rodriguez

Still plenty of life in Frankie Edgar

Duluth

A little slap at the weigh in:

Gets you a real slap in the fight

Pereira looked bloody good in that fight. Even ignoring the clowning the striking was so accurate and he kept the pace up all the way through
