Tom is the real champ now. Jon will come back in a year and fight Stipe, win, and then both will retire. Tom will be the defacto champ or he'll fight Ciryl Gane to cement it.

Alex’s leg kicks are crazy. Jiri is already stumbling.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

DC was right, the back of his leg is fucked

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah it's hard to say, he did eat a lot of elbows. Goddard probably assumed it was a wrap.

I hate that stoppage a title fight.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

Damn Jiri is intense.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

That Jiri Reyes knockout is just filthy.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

Thanks for participating everyone. Hope to see you all again at the next event.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

HOLY FUCK BOYS

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I’m indifferent about the stoppage. He was hurt but, it appeared that Jiri had some more fight in him. On the other hand, Jiri’s body language after the elbows likely didn’t look good from a ref perspective.

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, same. But knowing about his insane chin, Goddard should have let him take a few more..

Anyways, Pereira wins either way

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah I am quite certain Pereira gets the finish here anyway, I just would have liked to give Jiri the chance to try to hang on, because he has NO quit in him whatsoever.

[–] westingham@kbin.social 5 points 11 months ago

BANG!! Wooooo!! What a performance.

[–] westingham@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago
[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Tom Aspinall vs Gane would be an absolute banger.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think Aspinall would dominate Gane on the ground. I’d still watch it though.

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh, absolutely. But Gane's speed and evasiveness would make the standup much, much more interesting. Gane's still gonna get his shit mixed, though..

Wow that was fast. I thought Aspinall was a dead man walking after he ate those first two shots.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Me too, I thought "look at me, eating my words again".

[–] westingham@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Lopes closed that one out definitively, damn.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Lopes has some serious contender potential. His style is so exciting and he’s got some crispy technique.

[–] DirtyDan@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

I think he had it wrapped up but I think the stoppage was a lil snappy

[–] toastus@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Damn sometimes I feel for Dom Reyes, getting robbed against Jones and then those bad KOs.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Yeah I remember when I watched Reyes VS Jones I was FLOORED that they gave it to Jones. The fix is in, that was my first thought.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Reyes had a ton of potential. He’s got a fight coming up. Maybe Dom will turn things around. If he gets flatlined again I hope he hangs it up.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Fights start in a half an hour. Let’s go!

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I’ve been rooting for him since the Paddy decision. Nice win.

[–] ameisenigel@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

I think this applies to absolutely everyone haha

[–] BrucePotality@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

That was an insane first fight, can’t wait to see a rematch if they have one

[–] westingham@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Thankfully that's over. Nothing against Dern but that second round was hard to watch. Good stoppage from the ref.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

Wow, he looked a little disoriented already.

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago

I made it for the co and main...phew!

[–] EmptyRadar@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Stipe lookin like a Bond villain

[–] westingham@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Bond villain mixed with Steve Jobs.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I got Alex in this one, but Jiri is a dog. Coin flip fight.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I am stoked for this one.

Alex should have the cleaner striking, but Jiri is just wild and probably a bit bigger at 205.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. This is solid matchmaking. Not sure Alex has earned it, but I like this matchup.

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Idk man, he managed to avoid getting wrestlefucked by Jan. To me that's a good enough litmus test..

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That’s true. Not a ton of contenders at LHW either.

[–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Confused Dagestani noises

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago
[–] toastus@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

Jones will never fight either of those dudes.

[–] toastus@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago

Andrade is crypronite for Dern, too strong to get taken down and just way better on the feet.

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago

Dern Forrest Griffined out :(

[–] Fernando-678@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Pavlovich is going to be outclassed. Aspinall's distance management will be too much.

[–] ugmug@kbin.social 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I think this is the most likely outcome, but Pavlovich just needs to connect once.
