That was sloppy but entertaining. Classic heavyweight fight, with both fighters gassed after one round.
The MMA thread
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
And they always find a way to be a main event or to be placed in the middle of the of the main card, instead of somewhere in the prelims.
It was good fun.

Shavkat time.
Come on! Is not usual to see Magny being completely dominated and finished. That was great.

Tsarukyan time 
I'm a fan of Gamrot too, but I hope Tsarukyan edges it. Gonna be a great fight, of the highest level. We should see some crazy grappling scrambles along the way.

Great fight. Wow I had it the other way
Holy shit!!!
I had it 49-46 for Tsarukyan.

I found it impossible to call a winner there. Maybe Gamrots late takedowns were decisive.
Just caught up with the main card, I also had Tsarukyan edging it, thought he landed some heavy kicks to the body that hurt Gamrot who had a great poker face and that spinning back fist was one of the cleaner shots of the fight, the judges must have really put weight into those slight grappling advantages Gamrot had in the later rounds even though he did no damage and didn't threaten any submissions. Either way it was a really close fight and expect both fighters to be pushing the top 5 within the next 12-18 months, probably sooner for Gamrot with this win.
Rakhmonov just methodically dismantled Magny, seems like Shavkat vs Khamzat is only a matter of time

I reckon the ufc will try to keep them apart, they won’t want to derail either of their hype trains before it’s absolutely necessaryJust caught up with the main card, I also had Tsarukyan edging it, thought he landed some heavy kicks to the body that hurt Gamrot who had a great poker face and that spinning back fist was one of the cleaner shots of the fight, the judges must have really put weight into those slight grappling advantages Gamrot had in the later rounds even though he did no damage and didn't threaten any submissions.

I wonder if they'll try to feed Masvidal to one of them to build their star power, Shavkat is the one that needs that boost more than Khamzat but I can't see Masvidal taking on some rising monster, he'll probably try for a Nate rematch or Conor.
Shavkat called out Wonderboy, but feck that, if they feed Wonderboy to him I will actually cry….if fact I’ll go fight the bastard myself before I see WB get wrestlefecked again
I read a snippet from Wonderboy before talking about his last two opponents immediately shooting in and holding him down and how he wants to pick the right fight next so I can't imagine he'd want Shavkat either, he mentioned either Pereira or Holland which makes sense as both those guys are going to be heavily striking focused you'd think.
Yeah saw it too, and I’d be absolutely down for either of those fights. Wonderboy is loved by fans so be good for the ufc to stick him in a striking contest. Him vs Pereira would do nicely
I've had about a month long break from mma, but I'm back for this card. What a card, I'm going to try sleep now so I can get up and watch it all.
Yep, good idea. Stacked card!
We are live!!
Gonna be a banging main card. Shame I'll need to catch up tomorrow but will avoid all spoilers...
Hoping for:
Max to get his crown back
Adesanya to get pulverized
Neither will happen I reckon.

Noooo I like JRC
I'd like Adesanya getting brutalized, but would be super surprised if Cannonier is the one to do it. Hopefully Pereira can win today so the UFC can set up that shit. The PTSD would be crazy for Adesanya during the build up. Well, to be fair, the build up for a potential fight with Strickland would be fun too.
Rooting for Volk here. But not putting money this time. That second fight was too close. Would be crazy if one of them gets KOd.
UFC trying to get someone to bet on Hall but hyping him for 10 minutes before this destruction.
Still awake. Was up at 7:30am watching rugby….full of Covid….gonna try to make it through
Wowzer, how you even still awake is crazy
I struggled to wake up after the alarm went off. Eventually woke up to see the Barber post fight interview, didn't miss too much.
Cmon Du Plessis! Let's goooo!!
With highlights from 10 years ago.
Surprised he didn't left his gloves in the cage after the fight. Soon to be 38yo, doesnt have much to offer, even as a gatekeeper.
Let's go!!!
Inexperience showing big time for Dricus now. Hope he can rally back in the second
I’ve no idea, I’m well feckedWowzer, how you even still awake is crazy

I have a morbid fascination with the Strickland Peirera fight though
Looking reckless and anxious tonight. Needs to calm down a bit.
It's almost like he's trying to make up for lost time of all the canceled fights.
Better second but again very reckless.
Looks like he wants to drop from exhaustion
What a fight. Clear 29-28 for Du Plessis.
That chin though!
Excellent rally back from Dricus. Think that should be it for the win. Get in!

Du Plessis looks huge and shredded. No wonder his tank looks a bit suspect
Has a bit of that drunken boxer style.
He's a lunatic
. Looked absolutely exhausted yet kept throwing bombs until the very end. Glad to see him get the win. Tavares has a great chin it must be said.
