UFC 304 On ESPN+ PPV [7/27 at 10pm ET] “Manchester Is Red…With Blood” (Aspinall/Blaydes II, Edwards/Muhammad II)

[EarlyEarly]

What was he doing?

I only watch fights. I never watch promos, and weigh ins.

2 or 3 different times before the fight this guy and Kape were moving like they were going to fight. It was so stupid. Even in the octagon before the fight they had to be separated and had all types of security in there. Only to barely engage when everyone cleared out.

I feel like because he got the "boring" wrap he tried selling the fight like that but shyt backfired.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

Didn't watch, but surprised by the main event result. Salute to Belal making the most of his opportunity, as I know the UFC didn't want to give him a title shot. Even if it sounds like he took a boring decision.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Leon always seemed like a fluke

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

I def still think Belal is on Peds. He looks entirely different from a few years ago and is rag dolling a dude no one can keep down other than Usman.

I had the same thought but not from the rag dolling. More from the power of his punches for someone who has 5 KO/TKO and was rocking Leon everytime he caught him.

You dont just magically start to look like a super soldier at 35-36

 

[Knockout_LR_Freshmart]

Despite Mokaev being boring, it still hurts the UFC's credibility dropping him as an undefeated fighter. At the very least, offer him a weak 2-fight deal based on his performances and if he decides to leave so be it.

Even Jon Fitch had the opportunity to fight until he lost, and went on to be successful in WSOF.

 

[Roid Jones]

King Green got slumped something serious

 

[O.Red]

Who is this?

 

[O.Red]

I knew something was off with Leon when he couldn't even properly finish Colby. And Colby was WASHED in that fight. Looked horrible.

That KO against Usman was definitely luck.

Let's not fall into recency bias y'all. Nikkas in here calling Leon a fluke?

Yall dead wrong for calling that kick luck when some of y'all was probably talking about how beautifully set up it was when it happened. Nikka earned that kick don't be like this

The irony of last night is Leon is also "boring" and always has been. Very skilled, but not very assertive. He happened to lose to a nikka that out boring'd him.

And come on y'all by this point we KNOW how effective wrestling is in MMA. We've seen this story time and time again, so why now are we acting surprised? Wrestling is king in MMA no two ways about it

All the black fighters lost last night?

I said it was luck back then, and ill say it now. He was getting dog walked the whole fight. Kamaru lost focus for a second and zigged when he should have zagged and got caught. That was a classic example of the better fighter getting caught.

When you are dominanting a fight for 5 rounds you get comfortable and its easy to lose focus. Happened to Leon in the diaz fight, hell it almost happened to Belal in the 5th round against leon.

It is what it is

Who is this?

Megan olivi

 

[Grifter]

He was tired all week from the timing brehs.

 

[Yzak]

Got this man flat on the top of his head

 

[J Money]

Just realised we now have 0 black champions in the UFC (except for Jones, but this mf barely fights and is gonna retire soon)
