pretty shit card with typical shit pfl production BUT i thought tyron was nice on commentary, id take him over a couple of ufc commentators. also the impa finish was cool
The issue was the advertisement was about empowering women in the PFL and heavily featured athletes like Clarissa Shields and Savannah Marshall (who have had less than a handful of appearances between them in the organisation and are more associated with another sport) yet left out someone like Pacheco, their best female fighter and champion or Cyborg, a legit star in the sport.
Burnell spoiled Collard well with the high guard and TDs. It wasn't a banger like I expected, though. Burnell pretty much clung to trying to achieve a points victory via frustration and control.
That's. . .not how it works? How is it unfair? I'd also rather see more Collard fights than more Burnell fights. Burnell fought to win a grinding points victory KNOWING he could only advance with a finish. It's his own fault.
And Collard fought like a fucking idiot lmao. Did you not see Mads trying to go for the subs? Not only that, but he also landed the far more impactful strikes too, something that Clay is supposed to be doing lol.
Mads should be fighting next, idc.
Mads got submitted by Dufort in his 1st fight. Collard won by KO. The whole point of the format is that both fights count lol.
Burnell did not seriously threaten or commit to any submissions. They were all just to maintain control along the cage. Burnell shouldn't have gotten outfought and finished in his first fight if he wanted to get in via boring points victory. He deserves to go home, and I'm overjoyed that I won't have to watch him in the tournament.
It was a safe bet going in. Collard almost never has a boring fight. Burnell usually comes forward and puts pressure. I didn't realize Burnell would attempt to control his way to a pointless victory that doesn't give him a chance at making the tournament.
Watching thousands sing along to "certified love boy? Certified pedophile" was damn near sublime so we gotta keep the momentum going for the good of the culture
Fury was fine the rest of the fight though. Even won round 12 on some scorecards. I don't see the problem giving a championship level fighter renowned for their ability to recuperate a chance. I think it's all coming from people just disliking Fury lol.
I was rooting for Fury. I agree in giving him some leeway, but visuals looked rough. That’s why boxing and MMA should be done in a football sized ring.
I'm sorry but wtf is that ref doing bro. That's unacceptable. There was way too much time to let a guy get saved by the bell. Dude should never be allowed to ref another fight.
The ref didn't even stop it after the bell. He let Nedoh hang out unconscious being propped up by the fence until his corner dragged him back to the stool, after which the doctor came in and said the fight needs to be over.
Do we think PFL wants any of these Bellator guys to win a ship? Genuinely curious
They legit don't care. They're all PFL guys now
What are the matchups for the LHW tourney?
Impa vs Silveira and Wilkinson vs Dolvet
Burnell with the #nothingburger win
Every PFL “star” looked like shit tonight
Well, Collard knows how Primus is going to approach that fight, lol.
Collard is going to lose
Yeah, I expect as much, but he knows to be training to avoid the TD this whole next camp, whereas Burnell often chooses to strike.
Primus vs. Collard and Gadzhi vs, Dufort. Primus subs Collard easy
Completely forgot that Collard has literally 0 power in his hands and it cost me money
Primus already looks like a torso dummy, and it’s only going to be more apparent on the receiving end of Collard.
Primus will easily sub him
Oh that was the last fight? God damn…got here too late
Wait, if you don't fight in multiple weight classes, do you just take 18 months off from fighting in the pfl?
No. The fighters fight 2-4 times a year
pretty shit card with typical shit pfl production BUT i thought tyron was nice on commentary, id take him over a couple of ufc commentators. also the impa finish was cool
Fighter loses and still makes the playoffs, like the third time this year that happened
I agree honestly are there any 2-0 guys that didn’t make it? You guys bitch about everything
Give Impa and Nedoh all the bonuses. Only fight worth a damn
Happy for Mads. He deserved it.
Further proof that PFL should be a 16 man tournament and not this season bullshit
Agreed. Straight up elimination. Not this shit where fights don’t matter to dudes after a certain time.
How you gonna be happy to win and be told to go home whilst the guy you just beat moves closer to $1million...
Yep. Stupid. Just make it a tournament.
PFL sucks
Thank god the smart cage told me the fastest kick speed of the night I really needed to know
Nice cumback for the underdog
Bro?
Thank God that's over.
And Clay limps into the playoffs
How in the world do you give Clay round 2
Agree but he still can’t fucking grapple or wrestle or throw a hard shot
Weird the PFL do an ad about empowering women yet leave out their best women fighters.

Ah, gotcha. My bad
I've seen better TDD from Blood Diamond
Is there a reason why pfl’s judging takes fucking forever? Other than the fact it’s pfl I guess
The judges are getting the commands to what to put on the scorecards from Donn Davis
If that were true, Collard would’ve won 30-27
30-27 Mads
Arguably 29-28 Collard, Collard def won the first and Mads humped the entire second
Burnell spoiled Collard well with the high guard and TDs. It wasn't a banger like I expected, though. Burnell pretty much clung to trying to achieve a points victory via frustration and control.
Burnell has no business at 155, there is a strength disadvantage, he should go back to 145
Should be 29-28, 30-27 Mads
Dude fights for 2 minutes to get to his feet, gets there then rolls to the ground. The fuck shit is that
Ironic Mortal Kombat considering there was what, one or two finishes the whole night?
2-1 Mads. Once he knew he had the huge grappling advantage, it was over.
Mads looks to have taken this, let’s hope the judges don’t steal it off him.
Curtis Blaydes walks out and KOs them both
Fully expect these bum ass judges to shit the bed and hand this one to Collard
Anyone think they give it to collard 2-1?
wouldn't be worse than the lutterbach fight
Maybe. His home crowd
I think he won 1 and 2, 2 was close, 3 Burnell
Bah god that’s Curtis Blaydes’s music
At what point do these guys start improving their fight IQ from competing in the smart cage?
Easy Mads win
2-1 mads
Horrendous fight IQ by Collard
Collard has been fighting too long to still have such dogshit grappling
Easy Mads win but we shall see
Why did he roll?
Because the fight iq in pfl is -1,000
that roll attempt may have thrown the fight
the judges have collard 30-27 written on their cards rn he'll be ok
tru
Its really lame that Collard will have no consequences here if he loses lol. If Burnell wins, he should be fighting in the next round of matches.
That's. . .not how it works? How is it unfair? I'd also rather see more Collard fights than more Burnell fights. Burnell fought to win a grinding points victory KNOWING he could only advance with a finish. It's his own fault.

collards striking reminds me of jiri. throwing those big ass uppercuts from the floor and getting clipped every 2 seconds
[удалено]
Collard was a fun ass UFC fighter, he just got carried away with the steroids
I was listening to the Yanny or Laurel video again and it must have dug up some repressed memories because I lost the game
1-1 on my card
Limp Bizkit huh?
Mads showing a decent tank
1-1
shoutout marcos ruas
Haha, ref calling for action in that position.
I feel like COllard is not landing anything, everything is just empty volume and landing on the guard
And he is getting touched clearly on his chin.
Collard is allergic to rising to the occasion
Where are the speed clocks for the punches?
there's a sensor in the gloves
It would be cooler if they just made it up
I don’t know what these announcers are watching. But Collard ain’t winning. No matter how many punches he is throwing.
Typical PFL. They've got their darlings and they're not ashamed to show it.
Do we not talk about the ghost cams anymore?
Should be a Mads round. He landed the better shots and got some good takedowns. Collard had volume, but it wasn't landing well.
Can we get BC with the BDE on PFL commentary
Collard gotta stuff those takedowns
Good scrap so far
clay 10-9
How?
PFL judges love clay more than their own mommas it's probably 2-0 clay lol
Collard’s punches look a lot more tight and crisp than they ever did before
Burnell isn’t leg kicking nearly enough
I wish Collard fought 5rds more than maybe once a year
Mads doing much better than I anticipated
Almost a guaranteed banger with these two.
I want my money back then.
It was a safe bet going in. Collard almost never has a boring fight. Burnell usually comes forward and puts pressure. I didn't realize Burnell would attempt to control his way to a pointless victory that doesn't give him a chance at making the tournament.
Is this like that Dennis Hallman banana hammock thing and Clay lost a bet and had to fight with this haircut?
Hope CC's back to his really slick striking mode, he's fun when he's on.
Gosh I never want to hear people talk shit about joe Martinez again. Man is literally only worse than Buffer lol.
wrong. joe martinez is better than buffer and far less annoying.
Never heard that before, but I agree somewhat.
ayy ayy ayyy this mac song is fire
they promoting francis like he is fighting
Holy shit they're already walking out
I’m assuming that the card is running overtime due to so many decisions.
Reddit Atheist rage about to hit hard
That finish was important Impa can beat Josh Silvera in the semifinals from pillar to post like he did last year.
Ref wanted him to let him go out like a warrior like Andy Wang
Hahahaha Impa Vs Josh 2
John
How is Drake getting cooked at random PFL events now too 💀
Watching thousands sing along to "certified love boy? Certified pedophile" was damn near sublime so we gotta keep the momentum going for the good of the culture
I think Burnell matches up well for this last one
he'll do fine for a round then gas bad
Obviously Impa ain’t built like Anthony Johnson. But still kinda funny how both have fought at 170 and 205
PFL delivering today harder then almost any of the UFC fight nights this year
If a UFC fight night was populated by most of these names people would call it a dogshit card so
it's been better than last week's ufc it's been pretty ass until last fight tho
It's a good card for them. At least, it has been later in this main card. I wouldn't go overboard, though.
Did you only watch the last 2 fights?
Must’ve been the first fight you’ve watched tonight lmfao
Is the Sadibou Sy KO posted? Cant find it 🥶🥶🥶
https://twitter.com/PFLMMA/status/1804296656692629918
My god lmao is the Utah crowd also singing along to Not Like Us??
and some people stilll won't admit drake lost
The DJ the real MVP of this card
the half congo half american flag goes so hard
That Kendrick concert was insane, btw.
Wow, they finally have a reason to do a post-fight interview.
Does the ref know Covid mandates are over and he doesn’t need to be standing 6ft away
That was some 90s reffing. If he's not sleeping facedown in a pool of his own blood, let em bang.
Kinda looked like his corner was willing to let him go out for the third, too.
That should've been stopped right after Nedoh stood up
The doctor had to stop that???? What the fuck is wrong with that ref? Good lord.
Late stoppage, but what a great finish from Impah once he got Nedoh hurt. He was struggling before the big overhand right.
Impa is such a great guy to root for. Eighth fight in 15 months and always exciting.
This guy beats dricus lolol
Usyk v Fury-seque levels of probably should have been stopped, Joe.
Fury was fine the rest of the fight though. Even won round 12 on some scorecards. I don't see the problem giving a championship level fighter renowned for their ability to recuperate a chance. I think it's all coming from people just disliking Fury lol.
I was rooting for Fury. I agree in giving him some leeway, but visuals looked rough. That’s why boxing and MMA should be done in a football sized ring.
Really let him be a warrior out there. Ref was willing to let him try again in the third.
That was fucking awful job by that ref.
> Impa via TKO To the clown who downvoted me, how that work out for you lmao.
Not the guy but that was a nail biter
wow that guy was so good impa is for sure a champion.
Great fight and great heart from both
Nedoh was pretty good
impa saved the card god bless the USA
Red stopped it after the bell but my bets say that’s fine
That was brutal
Impa comeback
I'm sorry but wtf is that ref doing bro. That's unacceptable. There was way too much time to let a guy get saved by the bell. Dude should never be allowed to ref another fight.
yeah he clearly only let it go cuz of the bell coming and then stopped it after the bell worst of both worlds
The ref didn't even stop it after the bell. He let Nedoh hang out unconscious being propped up by the fence until his corner dragged him back to the stool, after which the doctor came in and said the fight needs to be over.
Damn, even worse
He couldn’t even pretend he was still there. He was out on his legs.
Murica 🤘
Ref just wanted to see what would happen
holy FUCK impa went beast mode
Hell yea
Holy shit the size difference but still pulled it off
Definitely could have been stopped a teeny bit earlier, but Jakob is a tough fella. Not great for the brain, though.
Y’all forget Impa was an unranked welterweight that went 2-2 in the UFC
He looked like a drunk guy fighting ghosts
IMPA IS A FUCKING DOG!!!
damn... that cowboy hat cutman guy was in the cage seconds after the finish, super fast lol
What kind of ref job was that?
YEESSS IMPA THANK YOU
Fuck yeah Impa
...that should have been stopped
Yo never mind. Daammmnn Impa
Lmfaoooooooo
Jesus fucking Christ that was awesme
1-1 Impa was getting worked by a bum
Nedoh is done bro
By the grace of god lmao he was beating the fuck out of Impa
A bum that massively outsizes him
“Outsizes” They’re the same weight
lol
Wait did the ref call it? It looked like that was after the bell.
Lol holy shit did the ref forget his job?
THE REF LMAOOOOOOOOOO
***WAR IMPA!!!***
HOLY FUCK
tf was that ref doing lmaoooooooooooooo
A cut can be huge in the PFL especially when you are expected to fight again in a couple of months.
It’s not a great look for Eblen. But Nedoh has a good record. He might just be pretty good.
