Good morning friends, wonderful to be here again with you all for a day of violence. May your beers be cold, your wings be hot and there be blood for the blood gods.

I just saw the overhand right that Aguilar uncorked and holy poo poo. Flyweights don't usually knock someone into the shadow dimension like that.

Robbie Lawler is the only man Nick Diaz is man enough to admit he feared striking with.

And Nick has fought some loving hitters too Paul Daley, Anderson Silva, Takanori Gomi, Cyborg - just a who's who of dudes who can shut the lights out and Robbie was still more dangerous.

Other than Nunez and Lawler, who has had a successful final fight? Is there a top 5 retirement fights?

In my mind I can only think of the people who retired after losing so it seems like a mostly sad event.

Nate Diaz getting a submission with 2:0 loving 9 on the clock is the best thing in MMA history.

These guys have almost the same style in most of what they do and wouldn't see many opponents with the same game and build at 155, makes for a real interesting match up.

How has the world's dumbest loving judge Adelade Byrd still been allowed to continue doing dumb poo poo. I feel like she's been loving up the most obvious decisions for 20 years now.

DC usually calls a fight pretty well but I think he's dumb as poo poo with his calls during this round. Whittaker is winning every single exchange in the striking and he's talking up how well Du Plessis is doing? bizarre.

Edit: I know Du PLessis got the best of the exchange at the end there and was in the better position but still until that TD I thought Whittaker was cruising.

Whittakers corner is seeing it too now but there's been a big opening for an uppercut in these exchanges for whittaker.

*deep sigh*

because this entire build up is about which of them is True African as DuPlessis has been very loudly stating he is real African while Izzy is a New Zealander who pretends.

The level of white supremacy, apartheid and the real loving deep nuances that come from a white guy with a Dutch name telling a black Nigerian he isnt a real African is going to be eye gougingly painful

Both of them should drop it.

There's no victory in the game of who can be the bigger bigot.

I've got it 2 - 1 to Pantoja fwiw.

BlindSite
Feb 8, 2009

I don't know how the judges are going to score this round but I feel like it'll be the lynch pin round. Moreno smashed him standing by Pantoja was able to stall for a long time with the grappling and effectively take the striking away.

Somehow Moreno looks like the winning fighter so far but he's probably lost 3 rounds.

BlindSite
Feb 8, 2009

This reminds me of Volk v makhachev where Pantoja has done enough to win the rounds but he's losing the fight under pride rules and will struggle to survive the 5th.

BlindSite

Moreno needs to loving GO! He can't wait. He needs to drown him.

I think Pantoja has taken this but I think we need another fight.

BlindSite

the problem with that is that Pantoja is 2-0 vs Moreno going into this. This is their trilogy already.

I think that the most recent fight that everyone's actually seen was close enough the history won't matter.
