When a man lies he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives. All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?

Yea that fight is getting run back immediately because of that stoppage

I think Goddard must have thought he was out out when he went to his back.

You have to give him time to see whether he’s going to intelligently defend himself. Looked like the ref just assumed he was out.

yea I get the stoppage cos it kinda looked like he slumped back, but he was still all there imo. Rad fight though, would love to see them fight again

It's not the clearest stoppage ever but Jiri also collapsed backward and his hands went limp, so I'm not mad at the ref.

I can also sort of see Pereira laying off the full mount when Goddard came in.

Not the worst stoppage but also kind of wish Goddard would have let that situation play out a little longer.

IDK guy was dropped, got in on the legs, was dropped from that position onto his back, and ref moved in immediately. Seems fine and like it would stop unnecessary additional damage the vast majority of the time, Jiri is just a freak who got up fine after it so it's unsatisfying.

alex was winning anyway and these big boys hit hard so i'd rather they err on the side of the fighter health. it was possible that jiri would be able to pull something out of his arse, but oh well.

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
jiri was orientated and conscious but letting that continue would be a war crime. i did not see success in jiri's immediate future if the ref let someone like alex pereira do that to another human for even a second longer.

I do not want Pereira anywhere near Jones. He got taken down by Jiří Procházka. Please do not ruin any more of my dreams because Jon Jones knows how to wrestle.

he also has these really, really long, juicy legs. huge distance between ankle and knee. so much target.

for those of you who have seen more of pereira besides just this and the izzy fight, would you say a lot of his KO power comes from throwing that left hook at weird angle that doesn't get noticed? kinda like the left hook that izzy KOed bobby knuckles with

"juicy" is right but it would be amazing to see jones spider legs destroyed like suga sean 'o'malley

that left hook really just did explode jiri off his feet. the brain to body signal was absolutely hard reset.

He always seems to finish with that left when getting bum rushed, it’s weird because he looks really square and upright, but still slinging accurate shots from the waist

Great card, fun fights! Trump and the MAGA avengers being introduced and the American fighters immediately losing by murderdeath was hilarious, as was Buffer prononucing Benoit as BEN-O-JTT.

I don’t think so. It’s like his kicks in that he can get a lot of structural rigidity behind the strike through the moment of impact. His timing is good, so sometimes the hook sneaks in unexpectedly, but the angle is pretty conventional.
