They both went full on Rocky with this one.

What are your thoughts on Usman vs. Covington and the fat guy who did a wheel kick knockout?

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov
Chris Barnett made himself a household name with his acrobatics and made me feel bad about myself LOL. A guy that size moves like that?
For real he’s on my radar now. He on everybody’s radar.

My thoughts on Usman vs Covington is this: Usman is King, and Covington is his equal. Dana says it best; if it weren’t for Usman, Colby woulda been champ.
Colby’s willing to go for a trilogy and I would like that as well.

Ciryl Gane shat his pants.

Francis lookin’ ice cold killa here!

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov
LOOOL I saw the clip Ngannou just straight up blanked Gane it was hilarious. Also I love Ngannou’s wakanda-looking khamisa.

Gane’s reaction tho. He was like “yo, I mean, what?”

@tehwatever
I sense a genuine fear when he brushed him past like a gangsta.

I mean…

Recapping Ngannou’s stats, this man has NEVER won a fight via decision throughout his entire career so that means he’s an UTTERLY MALEVOLENTLY TERRIFYINGLY SCARY PRO MAX 1000 fighter in his own division. He kills everyone with his Ford Escort-sized fists in the first round. This man will certainly amongst the greatest heavyweights of all time if these 1st round knockout rampage continues to steamroll for many PPV’s to come. I will be surprised if he won’t finish Gane with a knock out.

I’m definitely gonna see a Miocic trilogy here if Ngannou won.

Losing to Ngannou via submission feels more of a mercy to the opponents than getting knocked the fuck out by him.

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov
Eeeexcept when he fought Derrick Lewis.

What coulda been a fight between two of the most beastly men on earth, like they were fighting over territory, went to a decision and it was kinda sleepy.

This is what happens when you fear each other’s power too much. When you’re afraid of mutual destruction, you won’t act. In a sense, their decisions were correct. No one in their right mind would go head first into the hands of these two monsters, including themselves.

@tehwatever
I was actually pointing out the fact that all of his wins comes by way of KO/TKO and submissions, he has never won his opponent through the last round.

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov
you’re right. Ngannou’s got that bricks for hands no doubt.

But I’ve been watching Gane’s past fights this morning and I’m hella impressed. Not only is the guy fast, he technical. I want to see it. RAW POWER vs being slick.

He won thru guillotine, arm-triangle, heel hook, elbow the man’s versatile af. But yea I’m defo picking Ngannou over him just from the sheer monstrous athleticism that Ngannou has, and also that he’s practically fought in twice as many bouts as Gane.

Gane might just be another victim come January, but I really would like to see Gane display his skills.

If Poirier wins Oliveira’s belt, then you maybe correct mate. Dana will need to call in his golden Irish boy for a 4th fight.

269 is just as jampacked with shitload of good cards as the previous two PPV’s.

Nunes the future GOAT of Women’s division will be there and Masvidal is finally gonna get Edwards 3 piece with soda.

Khabib played us all. He never actually quit fighting. He just found a way to do it without getting in the cage.

@tehwatever
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!

Straight real G’!

It has been so compulsive to me that I always watch UFC 229 at least once a day for almost 1 week straight right now.

OK hahahaha how did I forgot about this…… XD

THIS shouod be a MASSIVE OPPORTUNITY for Khamzat to fill in on Masvidal’s shoes because he never get to fight him last time due to COVID eh?

If not, Nick Diaz.

The chemistry between the two of them just like in every cliché rivalries may it be real or fictional, the explosivity of their fight looks so similar to:

Goku vs. Vegeta
Naruto vs. Sasuke
Ippo vs. Miyata
Rocky vs. Creed
Ali vs. Frazier
Bowe vs. Holyfield
Pacquiao vs. Marquez
Frye vs. Takayama
Liddel vs. Ortiz
Silva vs. Sonnen
McGregor vs. Diaz

@Count Adramalekhovich Searmagomedov
Ippo vs Sendo more like, because Ippo Miyata never came around and their styles are different. But I get the sentiment.

@tehwatever
Oh I almost forgot about that guy. Hardly watched any Hajime for a really really long time.

Khabib to Gaethje: “You had an opportunity to become champion, but you fell asleep.”

Yeah… like, what in the name of fuck was he doing for a full freakin’ year after he fought him???

Wow nice!!! Holloway vs. Rodriguez was lit af!!!!!!

They were both swinging to the last second of the whole round.

If Max ever fights Conor again, I got Max.

@tehwatever
Conor was watching their fights like he’s the one staring Max down through TV. XD

This guy’s a clown.

True class warriors like a true gentlemen after the war. God I love seeing moments like this. 👊

Holloway is now the first and only fighter to land an overall total of 3,000 strikes in UFC history.

The 251 additional strikes he landed on Rodriguez pushed his current count to 3,056.
