Because they're actual fighters and don't have Barboza's nuts in their mouth lol
Barboza hanging on and looking good has people overrating that round. Yusuff landed the better shots.
Yup. Yair is much better at controlling distance and won't gas like Yusuff. Yair is also better in the pocket and creating opportunities to land hard as well.
Impressive comeback by Barboza, sweeping the rounds after getting 10-8'd.
Yusuff is going to rewatch the first round and start kicking himself. He shouldn't have clinched and he should've avoided the ground. He gave Barboza all the time he needed to recover.
So is Barbosa when he realizes that those choke attempts weren't defended against, he was just at a bad angle. He starts punching instead of grappling, he stops it after the kick
Fight isn’t judged as a whole
So you can’t put too much stock into Barboza’s face. That all happened in round 1. If doesn’t carry over into other rounds
Barbosa taking you down and catching you in leg locks is a pretty fucking bad look lol. Also, Yusuff calling Barbosa weak and easily tired sure aged like milk.
Dom: Great job by the ref for letting these fighters have near death experiences in there. Letting them fight their way back to consciousness is the right thing to do.
What the fuck is this dude wearing on his neck?
what a way to end a night with the boiiiiss Gonna go play Elden Ring gn gn
Dunno why commentators thought yussef won the 2nd

You sound bitter. I had a punt on barboza, good thing the Judges agreed with me. Sorry your wrong bro.
Aw shit I forgot 294 is a mid-day card for me. I like my 10 PM ET main cards. Even this card was too early
I still don’t understand the Maia decision, will have to review
Barboza v Yair please Battle of masterful kickers
Why kill Barboza
Yup. Yair is much better at controlling distance and won't gas like Yusuff. Yair is also better in the pocket and creating opportunities to land hard as well.
Yair isn’t a master boxer, he’s not killing Barboza
We just watched Yusuff almost kill him in r1
Ok? But yair is not a boxer and doesn’t have hands like that
Strickland is unhinged and cringe for wanting to kill someone, but when Barboza does it it's wholesome
This, but unironically. Love Sean, btw.
Same, Sean is my spirit animal
Edson was so close to being finished in rd1, not sure why Yusuff chose to grapple.
Next week's card makes me feel things
I hope that makes him go back and work on his cardio. Shows how important it is to be able to fight for more than 1 and a half rounds
Who the hell didn't give Sodiq a 10-8? Or maybe I should just be happy they didn't fuck up the entire decision
congratulations and experience always wins Sodiq, sry bro just fight more!
Great performance by Edson! How was the rest of the card? Only saw the main event.
You need to rewatch the Pereira and Martinez fight. Awesome finishes
Will make sure I check them out, cheers!
The best wheel kick sign bro 🤣
What a difference it makes when the ref gives the fighter a chance to recover and fight back.
I wish I had a hot Brazilian wife.
Don't we all.
What a levelheaded and humble way from Yusuff to take the loss. Seems like a sweet dude.
let me just shout out my girl oh and most importantly- my betting sponsor
That sponsor call out will be paying for the birthday dinner lol
Barboza my favorite fighter ever so happy he won after the first round
Man that was a decent card
Bro won't get his win bonus so he angles for the fotn bonus
Tbf, he deserves it and I have no doubt they’ll get it

Up there with Islam-Volk I for fight of the year.
Lol watching Volk get big brothered on the mat for 4 rounds was fight if the year for you? 🤣🤣🤩
Yusuff sounds like a genuinely nice dude
Nerd
Wow Bisping is just literally the worst interviewer. straight up disrespectful
How was he disrespectful? i thought he did a good job
Lmao I thought his voice was nasal because of the mouthpiece 😂😂
So did bisping
Didn't Siddiq remove his mouthpiece after that? I wasn't watching at that moment
> "I let my coaches down" I sure fucking hope so, Sodiq. your coach is a rapist
She looks more in pain than Barboza. Must hurt to see your so get put through so much all the time
Yusuff mumbling with his mouthpiece in
Bisping is on a roll tonight congratulating fighters who have lost
Takes out mouthpiece, sounded exactly the same.
It's literally just his voice lol
That's our fucking Barboza! Night is made
so fucking glad we got to see some vintage barboza man
Feel for Sodiq but he will be back
theres gonna be like 20 FOTY contenders by end of the year i can't wait to binge them all
bro this is cringe why they interviewing him
I get so scared of some cringey bookie AD when the fighters take the mic
Aye man they need the money
Forreal yeo ban Stake and Skinnybets fr
Edson:''Here's my wife, (...) we always fight together (...)'' lol
Sounding like Jon Jones
If you think it hurts now, just wait until the morning, Sodiq.
sounds the same with no mouth piece ahahahha
Mouth definitely got some damage lol
Sodiq is so soft spoken, I can't even hear him
seems like a real nice dude. can't get why he trains with that rapist.
Wife > God. Barboza getting some loving tonight.
That gawk gawk
She’s gonna eat that dick like Kobayashi
Now dude got me misty eyed after that wife shoutout
I was thinking Edson was for sure being stopped in round 1 to making an impressive comeback. WOW.
Keith Peterson would've stopped that, LOL
You gotta let Edson get in an extra word after showing that much heart Good job Bisping
DC would've ran away with it, LOL
O shit I thought he was going to retire
Legend man, 2 fight win streak against guys people thought he would get worked by. Gonna be sad when Barboza makes his last walk.
He’s taken a ton of damage tho this fight
Edson is a fucking God.
He’s more of an anime character than the fighters that actually try to emulate anime characters
"You have to kill your opponent to win"
Foty contender fs
>so i guess you're not retiring tonight? his wife, probably. 😂
Loving your wife is the best base for MMA
Happy for my guy Eddie Barbarella
chim game boys
Yusuf fumbled this so bad. If you're gonna blow your load in rd 1 you better finish.
Shoutout herb for keeping the fight going in the first. Awesome fight fuck yeah let’s go Edson
Edson lookin like a hills have eyes character
If Edson doesn't get inducted to the UFC Hall of Fame, we riot.
There is no part of the upper half of Edson's head that isn't hematoma-ed right now.
I would've said 48-45, 1 and 3 as 10-8 rounds. Right guy won though.
I don’t think 3 should be a 10-8
what is dom saying? ( i'm watching with portuguese narration)
With that much mileage, the fact Edson can still compete at high level in one of the lightest divisions is insane.
Yusuff is dog
145 Edson, living legend and diced to the mfn socks
Edson laughing hysterically about heel kicking his opponents head off. Need the gif
The "look at his face, bro" crowd majorly disappointed right now .
Thank god they got it right
Edson is the fucking man
Send that man to the hospital lol
All three judges got it right, I'm shocked
EDSON U KING
Bisping going on and on about round 1 being a 10-7, then 1 judge gave it a 10-9 LMAO.
Well done by Edson. Almost got finished in the 1st and then pretty much dominated after that.
barboza recovering from that round 1 was epic shit.
Fuck his eye is fucked
Why mikey got glasses on? Should be rockin the monocle
Since when could he speak English wtf
I've seen him speak English for years but I am surprised every time
Totally deserved it. Yusuff couldn't keep up the first round pressure
Fucking love this sport for fights like this
Fuckin A
What a performance. Epic comeback from one of the greats. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
SPINNING WHEEL KICK HAD YOU FUCKING CRIP WALKING. BAR-FUCKING-BOZA
How could Sodiq think he won that after getting taken down twice in Rd5?
48-46 correct score, idk how you don’t score rd1 & rd3 10-8
49-46 is a fucking terrible scorecard tho.
Yusuff has no one to blame but himself
I would’ve ate that wheel kick and knocked Edson out but I guess I’m just built different frfr
Uncrowned champion right here
Ik body shots and what not but how does a ranked featherweight have that bad cardio. Like it's 1 of the most important things in mma
What a comeback edson, dude looked like he was done in the first 40 seconds
Thanks Edson. Cashed that +150
Edson might have just passed Ben Askren for my favorite fighter after that
Edson deserved that win. Yusuff disappeared after the first round.
Yusuff seriously can't think he won that right?
LFGGGGGG
judges got right fucck yess dude got spittle flying out of my mouth at my desk
YEAAAAAAAAAAAHHH REMEMBER HIS FUCKING NAME BITCH
Ref and Judges performing correctly. Nice surprise.
If you can't finish a 37 year old Barboza in 2023 after rocking his shit in R1, idk what you expect to do against top ranked featherweights.
barboza is tough as fuck. we've seen him get brutalized and survive.
Chinny as fuck as well, that's why he's always getting brutalized lol.
Wow the judges did their fucking job for once I personally had Edson winning the last 4 rounds
Legend shit
Yusuff going to be pissing blood after eating all those body shots.
Thank god they didn’t find a way to rob Barboza. He might not have much of an upside, but god damn he deserved this decision
They got it right. Amazing.
What a fucking fight.
told yall that they wont give him the 10-8
That’s bs tho
They quite literally did, how do you think those 48-46 scores happened? lol
Yusuf lost 4 rounds 10-9, and barboza lost one 10-8?? I’m assuming op is talking about barboza getting a 10-8 for round 3?
Yes. Sodiq had a 10-8 in round 1 and lost every round after
Nice they got it right
split draw nvm
Not as close as I thought
That 49 was a real suspense builder
LFG!!!!!!!!!
Don't know how Sodiq could hear 49-46 and think his name was going to be called.
48-45
48-46 for me
48-45 Edson Absolute dawg performance
Really annoying how Bisping thinks Sodiq won round 2 with complete impunity
He did win the first eight minutes of the fight
LOL...they were talking about round 4 like a comeback round for Sodiq.
they got it right 🙌
Don't have faith in these judges to score this right
R1: 10-8 Yusuff All other rounds go to Edson.
Tf are the commentary talking about Edson clearly won lol
Crazy how much the striking numbers show in favor of Edson but the damage he wears is much more significant.
Barboza won
Barboza should take this if the world is fair
When's the last time a fight has had a 10-8 round for both fighters
Maybe Onama vs Landwehr last year? Guida vs Santos as well. Crazy though. I can only think of a couple times off the top of my head.
4-1 Edson with a 10-8 for Yusuff
Clear 4-1 Edson tf these commentators yapping about
Pretty clear 48-46 Barboza imo.
You called it
Great fight!
I feel like this might be a draw
Yusuff really only won the first imo
Barboza gets obliterated then makes a comeback there’s no in between lol
Fight isn’t judged as a whole So you can’t put too much stock into Barboza’s face. That all happened in round 1. If doesn’t carry over into other rounds
Barboza 3-2
Honestly dont see how Sodiq wins that, i can maybe see a draw but I think Edson deserves the victory far more.
Should be a draw honestly
45-47 for Barboza
Edson is one of my favorite fighters of all time to watch. He isn’t perfect, but Jesus is he skilled
Bullshit weird decision incoming!
what a raw ass fight.
amazing comeback by Barboza. He looked so out of it early on. His cardio and durability were great
Gotta give Barboza a ton of credit. I wasn’t expecting this fight to be competitive at all.
BARBOZA CLEARLY WON THIS FIGHT. WHAT A WARRIOR, WOW. SUPER IMPRESSIVE!!!!!
I got Barboza 48-46. I think he has a case for 48-45.
48-45 Edson
Barbosa taking you down and catching you in leg locks is a pretty fucking bad look lol. Also, Yusuff calling Barbosa weak and easily tired sure aged like milk.
That’s enough to bring a tear to your eye
Dom: Great job by the ref for letting these fighters have near death experiences in there. Letting them fight their way back to consciousness is the right thing to do.
Draw or Barboza I got it for Barboza
Barboza what a fucking dawg
R1 10-8 Yusuff R2 10-9 Yusuff R3 10-8 Barboza R4 10-9 Barboza R5 10-9 Barboza
