That's two questionable decisions already. You could definitely make the case for Esparza winning so the result itself isn't questionable, but whoever scored it 30-27 in her favour needs ejected immediately.
Hopefully snide judging doesn't ruin the main card.
Joe Rogan saying the same thing almost an hour later.
Surprised one of the casualties of the skeleton team is the guy who counts the strikes thrown and landed, so they don't have stats.
He couldn't have timed that any better. Perfectly thrown and landed.
This main event is fucking bonkers.
Gaethje and Ferguson are both animals.
The adjustments Gaethje has made to his game since the Poirier loss have made him less lethal and exciting but better prepared for success. The old Gaethje would have been finished after that but uppercut because he'd have responded by swinging back, but the old Gaethje would also have finished the fight off about three times in rounds four and five when he landed big, but instead didn't risk getting biffed by the counter and picked his shots. An outstanding performance, and an excellent card.
Anthony Smith's corner should be fucking ashamed of themselves aftet last night, and the referee didn't come out looking great either.
Don't think I've ever wanted a fighter to win more than I do Walt Harris tonight.
Cruz last week
Nate Landwehr was annoying as fuck earlier.
Tyron Woodley fighting Gilbert Burns next weekend. Should be decent viewing, but if Woodley loses that he'll be Robbie Lawlered into gatekeeper status straight from number 1 contender.
McGregor v Usman? Ehh, I’m not sure about that one. Surely Usman toys with him from the height and weight difference alone.
Usman says he'll shag him.
Triple C officially retired. Well, until next summer or whenever he gets a payrise.
He’s annoying but you can’t dispute how good he was. Olympic and two weight champion and beat the GOATs of each division.
That's an outstanding performance from Burns. Every bit as good as, maybe better than Gaethje a couple of weeks ago.
Jorge Masvidal has joined Jon Jones in saying the UFC either needs to pay him properly or release him. I reckon both those guys could make more money per fight in Bellator than they do now with the added sponsorship money.
Sugaaaaaa Show.
The three people I’ve heard of seem to have announced they’re quitting. Lol.
McGregor retires more than he wins these days.
How many titles has he won and defended?
2 and none.
I always feel it's important to make clear that he hasn't just lost his titles in his first defence. He's never tried to defend a title, including those won in Cage Warriors. Every title has been either stripped or relinquished because the minute he wins the belt he's off to another weight class. For that reason I don't think he's ever been a legitimate champion.
He was definitely legitimate for the 145 title. He beat everyone he needed to be and ended Aldo’s career. I still don’t think anyone beats him at the class.
His performance against Eddie was sensational and one of the best performances you’ll see but yeah, worst champion ever.
Caught up with the event from the weekend last night. O'Malley and Garbrandt finishes were both great, but I thought Aljamain Sterling was the most impressive of the three. That division is bonkers at the moment, and Dillashaw is back in January to make it even more so.
Amanda Nunes is just an animal.
I watched that Nunes fight. It was like someone kicking about a piece of roadkill.
Mike Perry has named his girlfriend as his sole corner presence for the Gall fight tomorrow. Somehow more embarrassing than Diego Sanchez turning up with only his yoga teacher there.
Whew, Poirier vs Hooker was a war.
I'm a twit
Wasn't half.
Israel Adesanya and Reyes on show is enough to keep me up. The former to further cement himself as a certified GOAT.
Jon Jones gonna come back?
I'm a twit
Khabib
First event I've watched in a while.
Hawes looks great and that was a vicious body kick by Volkov.
The take down is just brutal. Wonder if he will be tempted to continue after a bit of time to reflect.
Have the people calling Khabib the GOAT never heard of GSP or something?
Even Jonny Jones [professionally] is better than Khabib.
I'm a twit
He is better than both.

Thoughts on UFC 257 @John?

Wow.
Man if Jake Paul knocks him out...

WTF was Yan playing at?

That was ridiculous but I had Sterling in the 4th.
Paddy Pimblett’s gonna get battered in UFC.

A fighter in CFFC has had a finger snap off and the PA announcer has asked fans if they've seen it because they can't locate the finger...

Edit: It apparently came off in round 1 and he fought on for another round before it was spotted.

Found and reattached which is great news. Fighters talk about trying to make sure their ring finger doesn't get trapped.
Fuck me, you heard Jacare’s arm break.
He reacts to it like he’s been given a Chinese burn
Love it.
I'm a twit
Wtf was that referee doing
Holy fuck, if Diaz managed to pull that off. He should have pounced on him at the end instead of pointing
Yeah I was thinking exactly the same.Originally Posted by Waffdon

I love the guy that does backflips for no reason. Fucking awesome.
Surprised he didn’t gas himself out and get knocked out again. You’ll like Sean O’Malley next
How in the fuck did Moutinho eat all that
Jesus, that was such a good first round. McGregor was probably losing anyway but that’s some way to snap your ankle
