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

[2pacalypsenow]

The dagestani empire may crumble in one night

 

[steevoo1]

Ali straight up letting his star fighters get robbed. They need to leave that dude man. Islam getting 200k on his 4th title defense is nasty

 

[cgs37]

Easy work.

 

[jayt1202]

Welp..

 

[carver]

Islam > khabib don’t @ me

 

[zeroregret]

That was quick

 

[spizike231]

Once it hit the ground I knew it was a wrap

 

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

Arman just had to get injured

Levels to this. Islam bout to steamroll Moicano. Once Islam tight his chin up with a D'arce Choke.. he's tapping out

 

[QU!K]

Didn’t even break a sweat

 

[jayt1202]

Arman should get next crack if he's ready by the summer. Think it's nonsense he'd have to take another fight first.

 

[jayt1202]

Arena looked 75% empty when Islam was walking out.

 

[degenerate423]

Hate to say it, but I don’t want to see Merab spam takedowns against O’Malley again, but I know Merab wants an easy payday .

 

[jayt1202]

I would rather see Merab/Yan 2 before Suga rematch. Have Sean fight Figgy or Umar first.

 

[degenerate423]

 

[spiderjericho]

Hell of a run. Yan, Cejudo, Suga and Umar. With a healthy back, who beats him?





Merab had injuries too. It’s the fight game.




Chirping at the Khabib camp.

 

[keko jones]

It’s the little things in life that bring me joy, and knowing Hill got his *** handed to him is definitely one of them. The guy talked a big game he couldn’t back up and tried to convince everyone he was that guy.

PS I thought the fight was at 9 this morning. Smh

 

[xbiker47]

Bet we don’t see Islam/umar return until Abu Dhabi in October

 

[Fong$tarr]

I was there. That was definitely not the case. The arena didn't seemed filled but it felt over 75% filled if any. No surprise but most everyone at the fights were guys and I have never seen so many Dagestan and/or Armenian people in my life.

It is definitely a cool experience seeing the fights live and Intuit Dome is one of the best arenas I have ever been to. I also sat next to like 4 middle schoolers. Just shows the sport has progressed when you have young kids attending like that.

 

[Davey Magoo]

Why not?

Doesn’t he have a legitimate injury?

Umar and Merab fought with injuries.

Merab had a leg injury and “broken” back.

Injuries are a part of the game. So Dana’s card getting thrown into chaos last minute won’t endear Arman with the match makers/brass.

If you’ve ever had a serious back injury, they can be debilitating.

He had no time to recover either.

Other guys have pulled out with last minute injuries.
