The bridge of Jan's nose looks awful.

[–] westingham@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Boxing in the pocket is exactly what you DON'T want to do with Pereira.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The sound of Gaethje’s shots landing on the arms and body is crazy.

[–] beard_hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Shit shit shit... That was unbelievable...

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I feel that was the right decision. Alex looked like he could go another round, Jan looked like he might have a heart attack.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

main event time.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I am lost for words.

I am in disbelieve.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Dustin needs to start checking those kicks. They are going to add up.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

Well shit. I wasn't expecting that.

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I did not have that on the bingo card.

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

WTF! Absolutely HEEMED!

Never seen Gaethje even throw a high kick before today!

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

one round down.

[–] westingham@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

BANG!

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I wanted Dustin to do the damn thing, but Gaethje looked phenomenal. Hell of a finish.

[–] Cromer@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I had Gaethje winning. Definitely not like that though

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

he couldn't have landed a better kick.

[–] Shorn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I love Lewis lmfao

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

OOF

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

kopylov landing nearly everything.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Damn what a clean kick.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

some violent swinging tonight.

[–] dres@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Wow!!!! Kicked him to the roof!

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

That was a quick shift of energy from eulogy to fight hype by Anik.

[–] eatmoregreenfood@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Wonderboy in a commerical? Yes please give me more of that

[–] dres@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Live Tony Live!

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I agree with Din, should be higher than 20%

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

this fight is weird.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Salvador looks a bit cocky in there for someone who missed weight.

EDIT: and he’s getting cracked left and right

[–] BasicallyClean@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Salvador would be an elite cardio kickboxing coach for women and children

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Shout out to Billy Blanks.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

FOTN right there. Salvador for performance of the night.

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

out of all fights... that was one of them.

[–] mecha_pope@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Get rekted Salvador

[–] Pluto_Is_A_Planet@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
