Jean Silva is a capoeirist!
Really excited for Basharat and surprised to still see him so low on the undercard.
Doesn’t look that aggressive to me apart from talking and gesturing. But nice power.
And nice accuracy, though I’m not sure how much of that was up to Wilson running into every strike.
Walker is massive!
2 for 2 on knockouts!
Fights start in an hour. Let’s go!
Got the feeling that the smiley guy is gonna win.
Nevermind
That was the slickest axe kick I’ve seen so far. Beautiful!
“Redefining care” is a weird advertisement on an MMA cage, lol
Poor Hawes always gets knocked out so brutally while looking like a Greek god.
What a great fight, even though a knockout doesn’t look at all likely. But who knows, I’ve got Basharat 2:0, so maybe Lapilus will bring it now.
Wish he finished the choke at the end - finish streak is over
Anyone still out there by the way or are y’all just waiting for 297 to come around?
I’m not watching tonight. Just catching the highlights as they roll out. I’ll be here for 297 though.
If you want some fights to watch later, check out the two Bantamweight decisions. Both were really fun. And see you next week!
Will do. Thanks for the heads up. See you next week!
Also, anyone else thinks that Ferreira looks a bit like RDA?
I do now
Let’s gooo. We are finally back. I have to admit I find it much easier to follow the UFC rather than other promotions simply because watching fights on Saturday nights has become such a habit.
