Idk what's going on here but but Conor taking a victory lap on Khabib is hilarious

This 303 card is a mess. I didn't buy it & didn't plan on watching because it's not a good card but maybe I'll find a stream because holy shit. Ortega pulls out 3 hours before the fight, Ige is around, available & somehow weighed in for 165 tonight last second so he's stepping in to fill the card against Lopes. Be some legendary shit if he somehow pulls off a win.

Alex pereira is a complete monster. Knocks down jiri in the last second of the 1st round. Then comes out and knocks jiri out with a monster kick in the first few seconds of the second round.

He was so wobbly after that knockdown, that KO 5 seconds into the 2nd felt inevitable after they were letting him back out. Pereira is incredible.

4 minute stare down. Chama.

First big test for MVP. Thought he did well to come away from that without getting tapped.

Just to add I think Herb Dean should have stopped the Pereira fight as soon as the head kick landed but didn't and allowed too many additional shots that were not needed.

Yeah. Surprised he let that one continue.

Payton is the future.

Fight night in Paris is going to be at 18:00 but Manchester PP is at 03:00.

I get it’s a bigger card and they want the American viewing numbers but it’s still really shit.

They're not getting Gane - that would have been their biggest draw

Wathing Tyson vids on YT, he would ruin the whole UFC.. thiughts? Never seen a guy hit so hard and so fast, withb I absolute no tell. IMO he east the best there has ever been. His righty and upper cut insane.

He's definitely gotta be the fastest, most powerful puncher I know of, but to say he would ruin the whole UFC, I'm not sure. It's a whole different ball game defending against takedowns, leg kicks, etc. Would have been so interesting to see though, that's for sure!!

It’s not just his attacking the guy could take some serious blows and just keep going like a steam roller. But yeah I’d loved to have seen him in the cage.

One calf kick and he’s done..

Tyson isn't doing anything from on his back.
Tyson trained as a boxing and only as a boxer. When you're in MMA you have to train your striking, your takedowns (offence and defence) your grappling, submissions and defence. There's so much there that you have little time to specialise. Even if you look at some of the best strikers in UFC like Adesanya and Anderson Silva, they all had clear weak spots against grapplers. Additionally these guys like Jon Jones and Gustafson are using elbows and forearms. The crossover just wouldn't work

he had to short for a calf kick to have much attectiveness.

U can grapple all u want, wrestled all I want, u take a chin one ur fucked. Anyone who watches any kinda fighting will know that. Tyson could put another one out clean cold. And again his small frame would make it hard for anyone to put him down with ease. Tyson was a very intelligent. Boxer? I’d say more intelligent than most MMA wanna bes.

I’d say maybe less that 20% of MMA fighters could do 5 rounds or proper boxing. MMA is about the shape rather than the real fight. It’s why so few how a decent record. If u want real life intake go on a heavy bag and pinch it for 5 minutes continually, Ul real fast know what u mean. It’s why I don’t really like MMA, luck and fortune is more important than the talant. U can knee strike or elbow anyone real fast and coke out the winner doesn’t mean your hard as fuck.
