Thinking about what would cause that when wearing good headgear, which might not stop a concussion but should spread out the pressure of a blow quite a bit.

Maybe a grappling round and slipped and slammed into a knee?

Gonna share Shavkat's post cause :drat:

Also took me a second to figure out how the gently caress someone got a lapel choke and then it dawned on me

I'm guessing either something from way back in the day when some people wore a gi or if it's recent then...oleinik?

yea, it was Royce Gracie both at UFC 2.

Brut posted:

Heh no worries, I'm just wondering who the other 2 are, same for the other 2 Ezekiels that aren't his.


Hmmm digging into it a bit more Tapology lists Remco Pardoel winning via lapel choke at UFC 7 as well
Hard to tell but seems like this might be 1 of the 2 Ezekeil's listed

And at UFC 7 I think he got it again but it's listed as lapel choke.

Also,on TUF the coaches challenge was UFC triva as they were in ice baths,

One of the questions was "Who was the first female TUF Champ?'
Carla

Pena

Answer is Carla but said nope it was Pena.

Aside from Carla Esparza he's probably the least convincing champion we have had in a while. Probably since bisping

This is GDR slander or Nico Montano slander
Given anyone even remembers them and their reign


Which I think brings a point I've had in discussion elsewhere regarding champs. I think for us in the bubble that now only follow but know much of the history there is a different criteria compared to the general public.

Like I bet most causuals coudln't name GDR or Montano as champs so they don't even have a view on them.

PFL Playoffs

PFL’s final playoff card is here, so let’s get excited for Hot Hitting Tournament Action!

Of course, first, we must review the prelims.

There’s a guy who lost to a 2-10 dude taking on John “The Don” Caldone. There is a man called David “DZ Machine” Zelner, who, solely on merit of his nickname alone, I hope he gets pummeled mercilessly. “Brave” Abby Montes is taking on Michelle “The Wild One” Montague in what is guaranteed to be a mixed martial arts contest. Mostafa Rasheed Neda is fighting for the first time since 2019 as he takes on Korey Kuppe, who, despite having his Foundation Style on Tapology listed as “Sport Karate” has 9 wins by submission compared to just 2 by TKO.

Prelim analysis: Probably gonna be pretty bad.

On the main card, we can’t go directly into tournament bouts, that would be silly. We’ve got to further indulge Muhammed Ali’s grandson, as Biaggio Ali Walsh has yet another amateur bout as he takes on Ed Davis. Fun Ed Davis fact: he competed at an event called Banger in Bangor.

In the Welterweight playoffs, join me in gnashing teeth and rending garments to shreds. We have been robbed of the Great Magomed Fight of 2023. Magomed Umalatov had to withdraw from his scheduled bout with Magomed Magomedkerimov, leaving the entire season worthless. Instead, Magomedkerimov faces Solomon Renfro. Magomed went 2-0 in the PFL regular season, winning both bouts by first round KO. Renfro had one bout in the regular season, winning by second round TKO.

On the other side of the 170 lb bracket, Carlos Leal faces Sadibou “The Swedish Denzel” Sy in a rematch of last year’s playoffs. Leal won both of his regular season bouts by TKO, one in the first and one in the second round. Sy, last year’s champ, and riding a 6-fight PFL win streak, also went 2-0 in 2023 regular season action, netting second and third round TKO finishes.

The Lightweight bracket sees last year’s winner, Olivier Aubin-Mercier take on Bruno Miranda. OAM is on an eight fight win streak in PFL, including a third round TKO in his last regular season bout of 2023 that got him the number two spot. Miranda is on a 7-fight streak of his own, but his two PFL bouts for 2023 ended in decision wins.

The final bout of the playoffs sees number one seed “Cassius” Clay Collard take on “Hurricane” Shane Burgos. Collard went 2-0 in 2023, including a second round TKO over Stevie Ray. Burgos went 1-1 in 2023, winning his final regular season bout by decision, and lucking into the playoffs because Natan Schulte and Raush Manfio didn’t try to kill each other enough, disqualifying both from playoff contention, because that’s apparently a thing PFL can do.

Main card assessment: Should be pretty good!

This started. First fight just finished!

Did any of this end up being any good?

There were a few good fights throughtout the card but not enough to really say go watch any.
If you want to see a man get his leg kicked dozens of time go watch the main event.

Plus, watching live the glacier pacing they have is so brutal. They have so much dead air between fights it's insane.
Like, ONE runs down their cards every break and play highlights/promos non stop and even I felt they get to the fights quicker than this.
