Yep im watching. Prelims were solid, and that knee bar in the first fight was nice

No way that was unanimous for Quarantillo. Caryle won the first two.

Yeah that one is a real head scratcher for me.

Woodley looked awful

 

[615vols]

Woodley got dominated from start to finish again. Looked like straight

 

[DocVOLiday]

damn, Woodley didn't do much...

 

[GeneralsHuntBears]

If Woodley is just showing up for a check, I wish he’d just retire. When was the last time he won a round? Burns looked really good though.

10 straight rounds he got dominated in. I want to see him one more time. Just hoping this was ring rust after being off for a year.

They cracked the code on Woodley. First of all, he's fighting really good opponents, but he can't handle a high pace and tight striking. He gets gassed pretty early. The word is his tell is he when starts retreating and putting his back to the cage. This was a really bad matchup for Woodley. Guys usually don't want to stand and bang with Woodley because of the takedown threat, but Burns was inviting the takedown. He didn't care. I wanna see Burns and Usman because I think it'll be the same matchup problem, although Usman is a better athlete and may be able to figure out a different result.

Bones is beefing with Dana and asking for his release from UFC. Says he's vacating LHW belt now.

 

[n_huffhines]

Gaetje's coach has invented fight equipment (gloves, pads, helmets) that is so much better than what the UFC uses and the UFC won't use them because they want to own the equipment. Dana is all in on it but doesn't get to call this shot.

Also kinda related. The Reebok deal is awful

TBH, I kinda hated when dudes' shorts were covered in ********, but yeah, sucks for most of the fighters.

Fair enough. My main thing is the money it takes from the fighters. Especially the lower tier guys who get like 10k a fight

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Wow

 

[SD189]

I thought Cody killed him

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Who's next for Nunes. Only person I think that could match her striking wise right now is Holly, but I still don't think that would be close

McGregor announces he's retiring.

For like the 4th time.

UFC 250 Results: Sean O’Malley Destroys Eddie Wineland With Bonus-Worthy 1-Punch KO [VIDEO]
That was one of the most devastating one punch knockouts I’ve ever seen.
He knew there was no getting up from that shot to the face.

It was cool how he set it up with such a subtle feint

Edit: literally all I saw was the KO and now I just watched a 2' clip and DC was raving about the "subtle feint" and it sounds like I ripped that comment off, but I didn't

You were just on the same page as DC.
Joe Rogan liked the feint also.
