That's an unfunny joke.

Islam's gonna need a finish it seems, judges were...

 

[DGrayson]

I thought Yan took it. Amazing fight though.

 

[pauljeremiah]

Yan was robbed.

 

[MaestroMike]

suga had his eyes closes probably praying for the dub while they were announcing the decision lol I thought Yan won with the control time O'Malley got good shots in tho

 

[casablanca]

Great fight ! Sugar looked uncomfortable accepting that win tho.

 

[MastAndo]

This dude just survived a round with his arm out of the socket. Sick!

 

[SpiceRacz]

Yan probably won that, but that O'Malley put on a hell of a performance. His striking is legit and he's clearly got a chin.

Great fight ! Sugar looked uncomfortable accepting that win tho.

Pretty sure he was concussed during that interview.

First Rd 10-8 for the champ.

Edit: 2nd Rd KO. Nice.

Should have been at least a draw, or a win for Yan

This dude just survived a round with his arm out of the socket. Sick!

His corner should have stopped the fight. IMHO

 

[12Goblins]

prob time to ban tj from the ufc

 

[MastAndo]

His corner should have stopped the fight. IMHO

I agree. If not in between rounds, when it popped out again in the 2nd, that should have been it.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Yan was robbed.

Agreed. Yan won that easily. Clearly won the ground game and the stand up was even.

TJ fight was a bust.

1 away from winning the poll!!!!!

 

[MaestroMike]

its time lot of pressure on both sides

 

[SpiceRacz]

Going with Oliveira on this one.

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Highest level in MMA.

Why this fucking ref, he missed two or three glove grabs 30 mins ago.

 

[casablanca]

WOW

 

[Little Mac]

1 away from winning the poll!!!!!

 

[SpiceRacz]

Damn did not expect him to tap Chucky.

 

[pesaddict]

Alhamdulillah

 

[Gudji]

The champion has a name... and its not oliveira.

 

[Unknown Quantity]

Tap tap tap.

Knocked down then submitted. If sambo was easy...

Edit: Callout Conor.... I mean Beneil...

 

[12Goblins]

Dang, olives got dom'd

 

[pesaddict]

Taste the salt bitches !

 

[Macattk15]

Not surprised.

 

[Macattk15]

Taste the salt bitches !

What salt? Some people, such as yourself, are annoying.

Kinda frustrating to see top notch MMA guys make no decent attempts to dodge/slip punches. Oliveira was eating punches from the opening bell, it was only a matter of time before he was going to pay for it. Dominant performance by Islam.

 

[El Pistolero]

Oliveira was, according to some, the remedy to Khabib...Thankfully for him, the latter retired...

 

[MaestroMike]

congrats to Islam maybe Oliveira will fight in Brazil next and Islam will fight the month after in australia against volk interesting what's up next

They said the same thing about Tony Ferguson and looked what happened there. I'm a firm believer that Ferguson in his prime would have made Khabib bleed, but The Eagle would have most likely won that fight anyway.

He got cracked by Chandler, Gaethje & quite a few others & relied on pulling guard. Hopefully he'll work on his grappling & head movement. He's a positive guy.

 

[El Pistolero]

I feel bad for Charles...He is a great fighter, with an inspiring journey, overcoming the odds...but these Dagestani fighters are something else: Their grappling technique, their mental and physical strength and their hunger will make them very, very, VEEEEERY hard to defeat, if ever.

 

[El Pistolero]

No, they would not have. Oliveira is in his prime, actually, so your comment makes zero sense.

 

[AlteredForms]

I meant Tony Ferguson, that was a mistake on my part as I didn't change the comment. Yes I'm pretty sure Ferguson would have made Khabib bleed, his elbows on his back and striking were both dangerous. He had unorthodox body and head movement and was a challenge for many fighters. I still believe Khabib would have beat Ferguson had that fight not been cancelled 5 times, but he would have had a gash on his forehead.

Well deserved. Caught it late as I was held up.

lol Khabib needs to eat another cheeseburger.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It's amazing how nobody cares about McGregor anymore when years ago he was the talk of the town. He still desperately tries to get the spotlight.

He's such a good PPV draw (I think he still is????) that Dana White will always give him some prime fights for giant sales, but McGregor has been done for years. His prime years were 2013-1016, where 2016 was the tipping point when he lost to Nate Diaz showing signs he topped out. He got a gimme win against against an ancient Don Cerrone who had been a punching bag for years where the UFC kept him in the circuit so others can beat his face in every 5 months.

 

[mxbison]

Quite a letdown for such a hyped card honestly.

Prelims didn't really deliver.
Brady vs Muhammad - average striking match between too great grapplers
Yan vs O'Malley - great fight but horrendous decision
Dariush vs Gamrot - good
Sterling vs Dillashaw - injury
Oliveira vs Makhachev - good, but was expecting more. Oliveira didn't look like he had the same fire.

 

[DGrayson]

I think he lost it. Before it was about hyping fight and stuff but his view of his own skills doesn't match the reality.

 

[GymWolf]

Yep, i knew that islam wrestling was too much to handle for olives, he was also very shy offensively after the first round after he tasted how heavy was islam on top.

Surprised by o malley, it was a razor thin win but a good win nevertheless.

Dariush is a beast and honestly the only one that i can see giving islam problems because he is both strong and crafty.

 

[GymWolf]

What a sad pathetic cunt.

 

[MaestroMike]

lol I just always assume conor is drunk when hes talking sh!t on twitter and not really serious he HAS to know he can't ever beat islam or khabib islam is gonna hold onto the belt for a very fukking long time I've already accepted it I hope hes just active and not fighting once a year
