The Official MMA Thread: UFC FIGHT NIGHT IN RIYADH - ISRAEL ADESANYA VS. NASSOURDINE IMAVOV: RETURN OF THE KING OR RISE OF THE IMAVOV - 2/1 @ 9AM EST

[spiderjericho]

I might be tired. But I thought Buffer said Diamond was a former LW champion.

It’s not looking good for Dustin.

 

[steevoo1]

Easy work. Dustin done in the 3rd

 

[jayt1202]

Tough first round for DP.

 

[spiderjericho]

Dustin trying his best to avoid them take downs.

 

[spiderjericho]

DP needs to stay away from that cage.

Good round by Dustin.

 

[jayt1202]

Outside the late takedown good 2nd half of the rd by Dustin.

 

[spiderjericho]

Bad position for DP.

Think I heard third round…

 

[spiderjericho]

Gotta give props to Porier. He hung four rounds with him. Whatever wrestling training he did with Gamrot was good.

Gamrot or Arman might be tough fights for Islam.

 

[raider5]

That elbow by DP was vicious

 

[spiderjericho]

Three title defenses. Tied Khabib. I’m not sure if he can get that magic #4.

But a good test. And Dustin looked good defending Islam’s wrestling

 

[jayt1202]

Damn great win by Islam, gritty performance by DP too.

 

[lesgodson]

 

[QU!K]

At least Dustin went 5 rds I guess...

 

[jayt1202]

Three title defenses. Tied Khabib. I’m not sure if he can get that magic #4.

Just hope we get the Arman fight by years end.

 

[raider5]

DP had a hell of a fight, but IM is just a monster man.

 

[asianplayer]

Dustin fought hard but Islam too good

 

[steevoo1]

Islam dominated but he's nowhere near the level as Khabib was. He shows vulnerable spots and doesn't have the durability that Khabib has.

Arman will be champ by end of the year.

 

[jayt1202]

I don't think this is last time we see Dustin. He could still get another Conor fight or another name.

 

[steevoo1]

Dustin would've lost a splitty if it went to the cards. Had him winning the 5th til that darce.

What a drag this card was. A whole bunch of tepid decisions.

 

[Davey Magoo]

I don't think this is last time we see Dustin. He could still get another Conor fight or another name.

It would be fun to see Conor get knocked out again.

…I feel bad saying that.

 

[jayt1202]

Very rough card overall outside the main event. But the judging overall was horrendous.

 

[jayt1202]

Just put the ESPN+post show and since when has Chael been on these??

 

[whtascene]

Slick submission from Islam.

Arman might have to wait a little longer for his shot.

 

[boxer15]

Love that the entire UFC logo came off Islam’s glove by the end of the fight.

 

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

Sick counter by Islam..
