I think she deserved a split at least, she was one-dimensional as hell but Maia was also really passive

Yeah Hall's a good guy and a great fighter but he was like a kid mashing the B button the entire fight. He deserves to get poo poo for his performance tonight, just like Silva is a loving legend but deserved to get poo poo for underestimating Weidman.

UFC needs to start offering good severance packages so these aging fighters stop tarnishing their great legacies by fighting waaay past their prime.

Over Dana’s dead overripe tomato body though. Probably Scott Coker’s too

I can't be mad at the early stoppage. Herb Dean defied the Blood Gods for once.

Mr. Creakle
Apr 27, 2007

Actually early stoppages should be more common in fights that turn out like this and Herb did the right thing even if more punches would have been more cool. The momentum of the fight wasn’t going to change in those last few seconds, dude was done.

This stuff is really really dangerous and I’m still waiting for someone to keel over in the ring. It kinda happened with Dada/Kimbo but I mean really straight up die

gender, skill, gas tank, none of this poo poo has any bearing on if a fight will be good. wonderboy and woodley were at the very pinnacle of the most prestigious division in mma history. sometimes, fights are good. gender does not increase or decrease this likelihood in my viewing experience.

I know, it was a joke.

Heavyweights probably appear to gas more often because they are more likely to stick around past the 30s because power doesn't age out as quickly as speed does. I don't know though, I'm a noodle-armed goon commenting on the internet who would lose a fight to an inflatable arm man :shrug:

There's no real point in worrying about McGregor's ongoing impact, because win, lose or draw, he's going to vanish for like two years at least.

He needs to lose, repeatedly, to fade into obscurity because all it takes is one win in a blue moon for him to hang around via commercials, clips and on commentator's lips.

Aight i've been digesting this, so, at first I was screaming at the TV and my friends how bullshit it was that Herb didn't stop the fight when Conor was laying there in fetal position getting his face beaten in for those last 15 seconds, and how angry I was that this might go to a doctor's stoppage and give Conor leverage for a fourth fight, but after some thought, this is the coolest thing that has ever happened ever.

HOW OFTEN, my friends, do you get to see a southern louisiana get literal death threats and really hosed up claims of dustin's wife sliding into his DMs and poo poo, telling him all these vile, lovely things, trying to kick him in the weighs ins, cheating during the fight, acting completely outside of the rules that all the athletes must adhere to, all leading to a 1st round stoppage getting his rear end kicked so bad he snaps his own foot, and we got to see a multi hundred-millionaire get hosed up so bad that he literally can't even stand up under his own power and has to be taken out of the arena in a stretcher. Dustin said Conor may have millions of dollars, but he can't buy heart and then Dustin tons of poo poo to him and Conor literally physically couldn't do a god drat thing about it than sit there and take it.

Dustin didn't beat conor, he nullified, humiliated and destroyed him. Conor isn't going to be able to walk on his own for possibly months and tbh I don't think we are ever going to see him in the octagon again after that. When would you ever get to see something so sweet and just and perfect? :discourse:

We absolutely will get a fourth fight out of this because Child McSoreLoser will cry to Dana that this ‘doesn’t count’ despite, as you said, getting completely dominated. Hell, it sounds like Dana already confirmed it.

I just want this motherfucker to go away. He’s MMA poison.

Ayo can you loving imagine how badass it would be if Dustin turned down the millions and millions of dollars for a Conor 4 just to say (rightfully) a guy 1-3 in the division that he's finished twice doesn't deserve it? This will never happen but this would make Dustin absolute LEGENDARY #1 GOAT in my eyes literally forever. Sorry if my posts are cringe but I am so loving happy right now I'm just dreaming for the stars tonight :allears:

gently caress, I’d laugh myself into a heart attack if that happened.

Could he even shoot for a 4th fight? According to others who have broken their bone in that area, it’s apparently a really bad spot and may actually be a career ender for McGregor?

(Oh no, such a great loss for MMA, the horror etc.)

also, joes commentary was as expected terrible for this fight

https://streamable.com/ac9fia

Joe says conor stunned dustin with a left hand when he clearly didn't.

https://twitter.com/espnmma/status/1414078264025382920

dustin landing good clean shots one after the other, that are clearly hurting mcgregor to the point he clinches up, and all joe can say is "oh, oh"

I mean do you expect any commentary from Joe on a Conor fight other than “gluk gluk gluk gluk, mmm *gasp gag* gluk gluk gluk”
