Don't think I agree with that decision, but hell of a fight anyway.

Eh it was a close fight, most scores seems reasonable. Martinez had some nice clean simple strikes that scored while Nurmagomedov was throwing flashy stuff that wasn't really landing.

They couldn't use the Apex because they're doing Power Slap there and they have priorities.

When a Power Slap event happens in the Apex, and nobody watches, did it even really happen?

That's the actual legal defense Dana White's team will use when being sued over CTE in a few months.

i made fun of it earlier this week but it's significantly better than Apex because there are actually people there watching.

Yeah I agree, also the arena seems to be mic'd up way better (kind of like the first few weeks at Apex, but they eventually hosed it up for some reason)

Jesus christ, ya'll probably didn't get this on the ESPN broadcast but Krylov looked around to the crowd and shouted "USA, USA" a couple times with like a 'what now?' kinda look, then changed it to "Russia" chants with the same cadence (ro-si-ya). gently caress Krylov.

Translator missed a minor detail at the end there, Volkov gave wanting to fight everyone ranked above him as the reason for not calling out anyone specific.

War Dvalishvili!

Yan is a misogynistic rear end in a top hat, he and his posse were lovely to my friend and other women when she trained along side them in Thailand. It's very funny he's lost 3 of his last 4.

I thought they at some point made it so if you're just barely reaching for the ground with the tips of your fingers (as opposed to actually having some weight resting on that arm) it doesn't count as being grounded, or were they just thinking about it?

Yan is really good with those Mauy Thai sweeps. He's getting overwhelmed though

Edit: Oh, it wasn't one this time. Just a caught kick single leg. He still used them to good effect vs. Aljo
