UFC / MMA / Boxing Thread

That was a hard watch. Fabio too tough for his own good. Corner should have pulled him out.

Also huge upset in the cage, although kinda not surprised. Never seen anyone as weight drained as Khamzat at yesterday’s weigh in. He could barely stand. Got to have had a big effect on him.

innit. Can’t remember seeing anything so rough for decades. Should have stopped it a round earlier at least. Hope he’s okay. Was funny him telling his mom he was alright afterwards like it was completely normal. What a chin!

I don’t really watch UFC cos it seems too brutal to me but that was a really tough watch at the end

Typical having sacked off the boxing last night assuming it’d be a bore.

Not surprised to see Dubois take to the mat twice.

He impressed me last night, recovered well from both shots and his movement was loads better than it was before. He’s an absolute unit man

He was just nowhere near ready to fight a Usyk when he did.

Yeah I very much liked him a couple of years ago. Remember him absolutely splatting a Japanese guy with a jab, Just before his first loss to Joyce

It’s quite late for him in his career almost but who knows it’s such a mad situation with his dad that conventional wisdom might not apply so much. I’ve seen his dad and his crew at reggae dances before - a very colourful character

Well that was shit

Have only watched the highlights - will watch the full thing later - but wow the White House card delivered!

Edit: for clarification - talking about the fights, not all of the other Trump pomp and circumstance!

I watched it live. Dipped out between the fights to avoid any Trump stuff or war adverts. Worked perfectly.

Production was off nut. Absolutely dicked on everything ever done in sports. The claw worked really well, even though it looked like a babies toy on the outside lol

I’m gonna re watch it later, I did a nap a few times haha

Josh Hockit though!

Question for Conor: Justin Gaethje says he will be in attendance on Saturday night and wants to punch you in the face. What do you say to him?

ā€œJoin the queue!ā€

I havent really watched ufc in years.

Just recently watch the netflix rousey vs carano fight and just saw thr holloway vs mcgregor 2 fight.

I say fight but those weren’t fights. What a mess. For any casuals or newcomers, watching those would make the ufc a hard pass.

Na Fam, last weekends card was one of the best this year if not in years. 11 finishes, 9 in the first if you include Conor. Fight of the year contender in Brandon Royval vs Lone’er Kavanagh, Sub of the year by Paddy. Conor got fed some more dicks as a bonus!

Not knocking the whole thing. Just feel like the rousey and conor fights were laughable.

I would watch it more but the ppv and subs are extortionate.

Also started to lose faith after thr khabib conor match when match making was getting decided by popularity not skill.

TNT Sports is £35 a month and UFC comes as part of your subscription + all the other sports/movies you can access

Rousey’s last UFC fight was 10 years ago. Her most recent fight wasn’t in UFC.

Conor had a rush of blood to the head and fucked his knee, but the rest of the fight card was incredible. One of the best ever.

Do you get the footie with that?

Yes. All sports + other shows and stuff.
