So what’s there to look forward to besides Islam this Saturday? Possibly see who’s more washed, Marianne or Miesha?

This mfing guy. If you had breaks in your leg coming into the fight, why tf you throwing 100% power with the leg

DA DA DA DA DUH ITS THE MFN DODUB GGGGGGG

 

[spiderjericho]

It’s literally jokes. I’ve never seen calf kicks (meanwhile the game has been using them).

Goes into a fight with a leg injury, spends half the round on the bottom eating GnP and says the outlook was positive going into the second round.



I didn’t even know RDA was the alternate. Would’ve rather have seen Porier/RDA.

Conor gotta WALK AGAIN before he gets a title shot.

Fixed

 

[spiderjericho]

Fixed

They can wheel him in. They know what they're doing.

If this man had stress fractures in his leg, there’s gonna be some real explaining to do if all these people actually knew.

Answers = money. Second highest PPV buy rate in the company's history.

Speaking of money grabs:

Joe Schilling update

Looks like the dude who got KO'd has a history of getting his *** beat in bars and then suing the bar

Also turns out he is a boxer

Getting his brains beaten for money seems like his thing

According to public court records, Balboa sued another bar in 2013 for over $15,000 after an alleged physical altercation. He claimed the bar was negligent for failing to stop an attack on Sept. 30, 2012, that allegedly left him with significant injuries from multiple assailants.

During the alleged encounter, Balboa claimed he was blindsided by a punch and then beaten and stomped “for minutes” by a group of at least five bar patrons “while he laid on the ground defenseless.” One patron held a knife to his throat during the beating, while another individual attempted to choke him. He was then dragged outside and beaten more until someone yelled the police were coming, and he hid behind a dumpster.

Asked whether he wanted to press charges, Balboa grunted “f*ck yeah” identified his assailant as “at least” 6-5, 270 pounds and white.

“I boxed for 13 years, man, I know how much people weigh,” he said.

LOL @ his last name being balboa too

you don’t go around feinting on ppl if you aren’t ready to fight.

that person you feint might just be a world champion kickboxer.

hope joe gets off

"Showing the video to an officer in the bodycam footage, Balboa said, “It looks like I kind of [lunged], but the thing is, I leaned in to hear him, because the DJ is loud music. I didn’t have no intention of fighting the guy.”

“Yeah, he probably took that action like this as a feint,” the officer replies."

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Their flirting continues

 

[spiderjericho]

@ 170 I’d be okay with it. At 185 is ridiculous.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

This kid doesn't hide his cockiness lol. Sounds like there's another loud Irish guy coming over

 

[steevoo1]

I watch some Cage Warriors here and there. Ian Gary is real good. Nice to see him make his way to the UFC.

Looking forward to see Patty Pimbletts first fight too. Kid is a real character. But got damn I hate those English cats from that Liverpool area, where him and Darren tills from. Even though they speak English I need captions or a translator for their interviews man.

No crowd tonight. Blah

 

[jayt1202]

No crowd tonight. Blah

I'm surprised they aren't at least doing the fight nights in a small Vegas hotel venue. Is it just not worth it or are they working out the details before doing them outside the apex?

I was wondering the same thing. I see that there's several events scheduled for the Apex. The crowd makes such a difference from a viewing perspective. Much more entertaining and obviously more energy

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Holy ****. Islam is like a -720 favorite. I think he'll be champ sooner than later but that's too much man lol

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Ready to see Gamrot. Dude could have easily been hyped up as the next big thing just like Kape. Was a champ in KSW and lost a close fight in his UFC debut

Seems like this guy gets buzz in the underground ... we'll see if he can take out Stephens who is randomly fighting at 155. idk why he is I didn't look into it

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Good win. But stephens is a 145er. And he’s prob washed

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

Who the ____ is that guy?

 

[lncognegro]

That Charlo v Castano fight delivering
