I think woodburn makes it out of the round in this position but he might be gassed next round, we'll see.

All those times commentators say that fighters need to back themselves and make callouts and build themselves up, and this guy makes a callout and Rogan says,"Well let's not get ahead of ourselves..." :lol:

ok yeah but he called out the champ on his debut hahaha, maybe pick a couple names in the top 15 first or something.

Is Dern the one who kept changing accents and claimed nationalities or was that a different underwhelming fighter they desperately want to be a contender?

Yes that is her but as someone who switches between languages and who I'm talking to a lot, I think the accusations of her doing it on purpose are just complete nonsense.

What was that with the guy on mics (Dern's corner?) yelling,"WHAT'S HE DOING GOING INSIDE!?! I'LL GO THE OTHER WAY!" ?

You're only allowed a certain number of people in the cage between rounds (2 I think?) and usually there is some kind of consensus on who's gonna be doing what.

this fight is fun, gently caress the dern haters

but also how do you get into the top 10 if you let your legs get chewed up like that in 90s

I dunno dude, remember how Tafa looked trying to walk? Okay, now go watch how Dern walks back to her corner at the end of r1, here:

Still agree with the commentary?

Typically it's only championship fights and main events that get 5 rounds. Very rarely a fight will get special consideration but you can count it on one hand.

Right I think they're saying shouldn't this have been a fight night main event.

That's the wrong way to think about it. You could judge fights, because clearly there are NO qualifications required.

many people who do judge fights should also never judge fights

drat, did Islam break Volk's chin or does Topiary just hit that hard

Even if it's not what actually happened, I think Volk forever wonders if going up to 155 hosed his chin.
