[8====D]

Figueiredo made weight

fukk Benavidez

 

[The G.O.D II]

Fig is just a younger faster version of Joe. Fig eat al Joe best shots in the first fight and he’s an excellent grappler/scrambler. Plus Benavidez initiated that head but. He’s gets KO again.

Who knows what version of Gastelum shows up tonight also?

 

[Kokoro]

Brazilian big boy keeps dipping hard to his left to slip jabs

That jab right high kick combo is there for Spivac

 

[aceboon]

Surprised that this is the 2nd fight on the card, deserves a higher placement

you can tell who the ufc is trying to push by the commentators. tsarukyan is not as good as they're saying.

Dude is 23 and his first 3 fights have been against Makhachev, OAM, and Ramos. Thats a very tough schedule for a young prospect and he's won 2 of 3 and was very competitive with Makhachev, he's one of the best prospects at 155.

That transition to the triangle was slick as hell

 

[The G.O.D II]

Garbage lay and pray nonsense fro Johns

 

[aceboon]

ESPN+ pacing >>>>

Duffy is a disappointment man

 

[The G.O.D II]

Duffy is a disappointment man

What happened? He was a solid favorite. I don’t think he’s truly invested in MMA. Didn’t he take a few years off to box or something?

Took some time off to box but then went all in on MMA and moved to Tristar, they've done nothing for him and honestly he looks worse than the guy he was early in his career.

 

[aceboon]

Openly bragging about being a company man

 

[Conscious Pilot]

Kick KnockOut made dude look back at it
