UFC 288 On ESPN+ PPV [5/6 at 10 pm ET] “Cringe, Controversy, Championships: The Return Of Triple C” (Henry Cejudo/Aljamain Sterling)

[Legal]

Thoughts on this card overall?

Rare case of the show taking a dive as soon as the main card kicked off. Leader in the clubhouse for worst UFC PPV of the year.

 

[QBN]

Aljo corny

He's a good dude, just really bad at trash talk and trying to sell himself. He also cares way too much about the haters.

 

[Blessings]

I've always said Jon Jones is an anomaly.

He has a history of steroid abuse, cocaine abuse, domestic violence, DUIs - you name it, and white MMA fans seem to love him.

Jon Jones is also anti-black and a c00n

 

[THEREALBRAND]

It's 1:30am

This is normal UFC PPV time.

 

[42 Monks]

Aljo gonna ragdoll OMalleys b!tch ass allllllll fight loooong…..end that hype train in a main event

this man just got instantly taken down by flabby cejudo in the 1st i got no idea how folks got confidence in him protecting this belt from anybody after tonight

 

[Deafheaven]

with sterling's hands looking that shytty, he's got an equal chance of sending his mouthpiece to a lucky fan in the third row

maybe but I'm pretty sure if he gets grabbed at all hes going to be on the ground until he gets choked or smashed up.

 

[Lurk Angle]

Gotta say aljo gotta get a new boxing ray longo ain't it
Wideman had him for years and look where he's at

Tru but that dude o malley has no wrestling advantage so he ain't gotta worry

I mean cejudo was def conditioned and also a world class wrestler...

they said he'd been taken down like once or twice before tonight and Aljo got like 5 off em

He is going to toss o malley around that cage Insha Allah

 

[Primetime]

This didn't seem like the type of super fight Henny Cejudo said he'd only come back for (to cash out on) 3+ years ago

Maybe the money dried up and he realized this was the best check he was gonna get

This is normal UFC PPV time.

Yeah for an east coast viewer watching a ppv they put on during west coast time. It would be ending at like 11 out there.

I thought the new york shows they put on in the past started at 8pm

Bruh, when is he gonna get his credit as a champ???? Dude is a beast, is he CRAZY CRAZY EXCITING KNOCKOUT STANDUP, no….but he puts in work & wins his fights as a champion. And his next fight is against an undeserved contender in OMalley…….sitTF down with the Aljo hate @ this point

 

[QBN]

I bet Dana White will say he had it 3-2 for Cejudo. Aljo became the first man to defend the bantam weight title 3 times tonight and I don't think they mentioned it. Instead they rushed goofy ass O'Malley in to set up the next fight.

 

[Ces1ne?]

If he lost cats would say Aljo was a fraud…yet WHEN he WON, cats wanna make him out as a fraud too….how does that work??
OMalley is next up 2 get wrecked up.

Main cards have started in the EastCoast @ 10pm….only time it wasn’t like that was bc of Covid or the AbuDabi bullish!t. So confused how u are mixing it up
