I have a feeling there's going to be lots of light jogging.

Every time I see Overeem, I get flashbacks of Chuck Liddell knocking him out.
Didn’t realize this was in Detroit. What’s the chances of @Eboue being there?
Everyone in the division has knocked him out by now I think.
About 5years before my mma following time (just looked on wiki)
Never even knew it happened
I did know Overeem was a light heavyweight though. But I always thought Chuck was almost exclusively in UFC. Didn’t know he fought for Pride
Big Foot for me, totally deserved.
He fought in the Pride tournament as a representative of the UFC. Iirc, he lost to Rampage in the next round. Those were the days, crazy ass Pride tourneys.About 5years before my mma following time (just looked on wiki)

It's a legit rite of passage.
Torres is vicious
He didn't really fight for pride. When the UFC was second fiddle, UFC and Pride agreed to do cross promotions. Chuck entered their MW tournament (I think) and got KTFO'd, and then Pride fecked the UFC over and didn't send anyone back, lol.About 5years before my mma following time (just looked on wiki)

Never heard of Gaethje, but those highlights look impressive.
He's pretty scrappy. Should be a good fight.
This one is going to be fight of the night hopefully.
I don't think Gaethje has ever taken a step backwards. The dude is crazy.As advertised
Very hard hitting. Neither holding back

This is a good fight.
fecking hell this is violent
Eddies face is brutal, but he is winning this fight. Wish it was 5rounds

Gaethje can take a fecking punch
I don't rate Alvarez but he is having a good fight tonight.
3rd round bring it on!
3rd round bring it on!
Damn those leg kicks!
Those leg kicks are starting to hurt me!
Holy shit, what a fight!!!
This sport is fecking crazy
Didn’t care who won or lost. Just feck that shit
Didn’t care who won or lost. Just feck that shit
Bloody hell, what a fight.
Great fight
Gaethje alsways said it would happen. He takes way way too much damage
He can’t keep fighting that way
He can’t keep fighting that way
Not to hate on these guys, but jesus christ, and that is who the champion was. Tough, but not exactly top tier fighting skills. Dude just lost 5 years of his life right there lol.
Great fight between two warriors. Gaethje might have lost the fight but he’s made plenty of new fans. Feck me, Eddie can’t even speak properly with his cheek like that.
The ufc put this together. Advertised it as a war. Did a TUF.
They knew what the people wanted and they delivered. But yeah it was reckless
Wish joe never mentioned Conor there cos it’ll sound like I’m just repeating,
But basically Cejudo’s standing work is pretty much identical. He has to have taken that from McGregor

Darren Till's standup is even more Conor like.
You are right
Don’t want to give the cnut credit these days. But he clearly has developed a style
A fight in the crowd.
Very disappointing from Pettis jnr. And a piss poor fight
In fairness I never thought Pettis was a realistic challenger either way.
Maybe a Cejudo rematch is for the best

That was pathetic from Pettis. Tried to take Cejudo down in the end... christ.Feck me, if this guy could fight half as good as he looks like he can...
I would bet my mortgage this will not go 3 rounds
Overeem has that deflated balloon USADA look
Booom
