May not matter in this fight, but Bonfim is chinny once they start throwing.

EDIT: it didn’t matter

Kinda gross that UFC dangles the betting lines so blatantly these days. I will also never get used to commercials on PPV.

Semelsberger looks like he knows where you can get that primo cartel crystal meth.

Chiesa seemed like he was starting to take off the tape.

Buffer wearing what looks like a rusted metal suit.

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

It was silver until he landed in SLC.

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

Chiesa did not fight that darce at all. Yikes.

I need to add fantasy football commissioner to my resume.

Well, "I wanna test his standup" didn't last long..

took her arm that time.

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

Well shit.

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

If you hit Tony in the face you better mean it, or he's just gonna eat it and smile at you

They called Karl Malone "The Mailman" because he always delivered.

But it's probably because he has like 11 kids he doesn't take care of.

Watching Tony get pieced up like this makes me sad.

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

Green and Ferguson have such different, unique styles. This is a fun fight.

Get hype.

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

Fence grabs, attempted eye gouging, glove grabs, trying to pull Maverick's top off multiple times, trying for a Brazilian tap. Cachoeira is such a piece of shit.

That's 6 losses in a row for Tony.

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

that commercial lol

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

Bobby's head movement is so good

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

Hate to see either of these guys lose, but I hope Dustin comes out on top.

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

Good decision. Second round was close-ish, but CJ won the third clearly.

[–] GeezLouise@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Please please please please, Tony. No more. Please.

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

Tony getting busted up :(

Let's go my guys.
Got a bit of sleep in and now I am ready to go.

Holy fuck, the power just went out where I live.

Keep an eye out around 11PM ET for the Bellator X Rizin 2 live thread. We’ll give dueling threads a shot tonight and see how it goes.

Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!

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

It's almost as good seeing Miranda win as it is seeing Cachoeira lose.
