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.

Go hard or go home!
98% of the roster go hard and immediately have to go home

Having read Carl's OP, I guess Sherdog and UFC both don't include Ultimate Fighter in their stats as Vera's not listed as having actually had a fight since September of 2022, and that was for Fury FC?

That makes sense, it does make his 11-3-0 record in Fury indicate a pretty big gulf between the companies. I'm sure that's no surprise to anybody, I guess I should have grasped that after Ben Askren came into UFC from being a big fish in a small pond constantly talking poo poo to Dana White, to being retired within a year.

Guy is in the corner saying,"My leg hurts and I don't know if I can stand on it" and they're just telling him,"Well you gotta!"

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

Oh my God she's dead. End it, ref.

Edit: Or maybe not!?! The way she froze, reached up to her face and then toppled like a tree was terrifying.

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.

Thanks! Guess there were some crossed wires on that.

I still can't believe this fight wasn't ended after that collapse, and that it seems entirely reasonable now!

Goddamnit, I forgot about this. At least I didn’t miss the end of the card.

Check out Dern vs. Lemos and Dvalishvili vs. Cejudo when you get a chance, both were very entertaining.

I have no loving clue who won

I think maybe Whittaker but a large part of my reasoning for that is that I like him more than Costa so :shrug:

Glad for the result but 30-27 to Whittaker from one of the judges? :psyduck:

I should never judge fights.

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