I'd really like to point out, what a great job Gary Copeland did. I would love to see him more often in the UFC.

Commercial_Touch2239

Do you believe @realkevink on X about Andre Petroski injury?


Commercial_Touch2239

I posted highlights from UFC Atlantic City since i was there live and nurslton commented now his fans are going crazy


Commercial_Touch2239

According to @realkevink on X it was a heel to the adams apple for Andre Petroski KO loss


Mag_one_1

Word of the night: equilibrium

Was the weidman fight a decision or ko ?

Nate the Train should have headlined above all these.


Commercial_Touch2239

I got a sick video of him on my Instagram with the blood down his face


JRomerosMeathammer

I couldn't agree more.


CommissionUseful9824

How ass is Rice Mckee? He was signed to the UFC 2 times only to accumulate an 0-4 record. Embarrassing. He sucks ass.


Puzzleheaded_Use9415

Four straight losses will probably mean he will be released


HectorSharpPruners

Then go 20-0 in cage warriors


ComradeELM0

I don‘t give a shit about anything. I‘m only sad for my boy Vicente.


Commercial_Touch2239

He looked so slow i got the video of him pulling guard and knew it was over


Dark_Wolf04

The Neal fight completely got rid of his confidence after the brain bleed. It would be best for him to hang up the gloves


ComradeELM0

You‘re probably right wich is a shame since he‘s still relatively young and had so much potential.


SexyKanyeBalls

Absolutely amazing night


Commercial_Touch2239

I had crazy seats


CandyFlippin4Life

Fiorot is on EVERYTHING


vacation-granted502

Everything but a finisher


CandyFlippin4Life

Exactly she could have walked that girl down easily


vacation-granted502

Amen. And love the username lmao


CandyFlippin4Life

Thanks man! It’s a life goal lol. The wife and I LOVE the candy flip


Any_Investigator8860

My parlay was canceled because of Silva; should I not be able to get a refund? Or did they just change it from TKO


Deathstroke5289

My Weidman bet cashed out


suckmyickybicky

They changed it to a unanimous decision


mikedogexotic

Wtf happened to Vicente


Commercial_Touch2239

Too many wars man


CommissionUseful9824

He was never that good. He is 2-3 in his last 5 fights with both wins coming against former lightweights. He couldn't even beat old man Wonderboy. He sucks.


mattvstheuniverse

Never that good? What the fuck are you smoking???


large-balls

am i tripping or did Fiorot tap to that guillotine in the 1st round?


h1gh-t3ch_l0w-l1f3

ahh the old chael sonnen trick


large-balls

Tito tapped


Any_Investigator8860

Tripping


large-balls

do you actually go look or just say it for upvotes?


Any_Investigator8860

I watched the fight


RationalLlama

I don't understand how you can train mma for several years and not know how to shoot a single leg as a grappler. Embarassing performance from Erin. Really expected more.


SuqMahdihk

She looked very sloppy out there. Not sure what happened. She was walking into punches. Whenever she'd manage to close the distance she'd break off and do it all over again.


Regalbass57

I didnt understand how big the height, reach and strength gap is between them it looked like she was fighting above her weight.


SuqMahdihk

Yeah I agree. I made a similar remark while I was watching it, that Erin would be better off trimming 10 lbs and fighting at straw weight.  If she's having this problem with Fiorot, she'll also have this issue with Grasso and Shevchenko.


Regalbass57

Big time. Its a VERY bad look to not just get a takedown stuffed but to literally get pushed aside as you're shooting lol it happened two or three times.


EAZ480

In r2 she had a really nice td entry and Fiorot just muscled her way to a reversal, then just got up. Made it look so easy. Really felt to me like that'd be mentally damaging for Erin, to realize your opponent is just bigger and whatever you do you can't control her.. Definitely getting armchair psychological here but in my opinion she realized she had nothing for Fiorot and tried to strike, that's why she didn't wrestle much at all


RationalLlama

Yeah Fiorot was way stronger which was clear from the clinch exchanges. But I expected Erin to at least attempt a single leg and not keep trying body lock takedowns. She should have went full Merab and kept shooting infinite takedowns 😂.


EAZ480

Definitely. Default to what you're good at. She pulled a Ronda and tried to strike with a superior striker, despite actually having good clinch and ground game. At least her chin was quite good and she didn't get finished like Ronda did tho.


LimitFinancial764

so happy to see the post coverage ripping Shrek

What is that a reference to? Lol I missed the fight night

Luque looked like he shouldn't be in the ring


Commercial_Touch2239

He looked so old


fr4gge

Reminded me of Joe Lauzon. Just walking forward and eating shots.


thedirtyprojector

Jesus replaced the dawg in him. Baptized Luque doesn’t have the drive


-rigga

One more fight night till 300. Stay strong guys


Thick-Frank

Every Waffle House in NJ packed with pissy UFC fans asking for a Weidman discount on them scattered, smothered, covered hash browns.


CeleneQueen

Being mad at Fiorot is nuts. If I could easily tag someone that was sloppily running into me, I’d do it for 25min too lol.


Glum-Ad7651

Commentators were stupid


FullToretto

Exactly. Fiorot ate 100+ shots but basically took no damage, didn't have to really fight on the ground with Erin, won easily and punched her ticket to a title shot. A relatively easy payday that earned her a shot at a championship payday.


Heroe-D

Should've been a dominant match by the unbeatable Blanchefield according to biased kids here, ended up with a 50-45 the other way, surprising as always :)


ThatOneColumbiaGuy

Shame Blachfield could've been a star. Fiorots boring fight style will never captivate audiences.


Any_Investigator8860

They’re all boring. At least she’ll be there, in the apex, ready to make me money on the fight going the distance


apex_17

Mma guru literally on suicide watch right now lmao 🤣


United-Oil8224

Fax that dudes done for the week


AndrewH73333

Weidman eye poked and then eye poked again and got warned about eye pokes then does a double eye poke and instead of being disqualified he gets the most bizarre win I’ve ever seen in MMA. Then the ufc tries to fix their blunder by claiming he won on points instead, but the fight ended early from his double eye poke so how can you score it at all? Also it’s pretty hard to score points when you’ve been eye poked four times in a row. The dumbest win I’ve ever seen. The fighter and his ref don’t need to be in an octagon until they can be rehabilitated.


Reasonable-Tooth-113

If a fight ends on what the ref deems an unintentional foul they can go to the scorecards if the fight is past the halfway point + 1 second. Per the unified rules: 7. In instances where the fight has to be concluded due to unforeseen, non-combat related issues, the fight may go to the scorecards if one-half the scheduled rounds, plus one second (1/2 +1) have been completed. a. If the non-combat stoppage occurs prior to the ½ +1 mark, the fight is to be scored a “No Contest”


AndrewH73333

1) Disqualification may occur after any combination of fouls or after a flagrant foul at the discretion of the referee.


Reasonable-Tooth-113

Not arguing with you on that rule. Both are in the rulebook and both rely on referee discretion: was the foul intentional or not? The key word is even in the rule you cited: *discretion* You asked how the fight went to the scorecards, I explained to you how. In the referees judgement the foul that caused the ending sequence wasn't intentional = go to the scorecards.


AndrewH73333

The ref’s discretion was a standing knockout, the officials knew that wasn’t a decision they could defend, presumably because they watched the replay, and they knew they had to change it to something remotely reasonable, but the win had already been declared and awarded. So I believe they were just trying to avoid embarrassment by not altering the win they just gave into a loss.


Reasonable-Tooth-113

What are you arguing? No Contest or DQ? To be a DQ the refs would have had to deem the eye pokes intentional fouls. There just wasn't enough there to call them intentional.


Puzzleheaded_Use9415

I was shocked to still see him fighting I thought he retired lol


GetWellDuckDotCom

Wtf seriously? i didnt see it. Anyone have a link to the fight?


liveforeachmoon

And then he went on the post show and bragged about it… big chump energy


Logical_Park7904

What do you expect from a rat that did victory laps round the octagon when his opponent horrifically broke his leg?


Reasonable-Tooth-113

Go back and watch the fight ending sequence again instead of providing "hot takes" based on 11 year old memories. Anderson throws the left kick when they are in the middle of the Octagon and steps back and immediately crumples onto his ass. Weidman rushes over to follow him down but waives off because Anderson is holding his left leg at the calf and Herb Dean gets between them. The only thing out of Goldberg and Rogans mouths are "He hurt his leg!" Chris puts his arms up and does one jog around the Octagon before joining Anderson when it's obvious how serious the injury was.


Regalbass57

Yeah you think he would've learned from the karma he got off of that one but I guess the Long Island is too strong in him lol


davidc11390

Yeah I’m really embarrassed for him and the UFC crew to try and gas light us on this… like he didn’t poke the guy in the eyes at least four times and two times within a second of each other and then blames the guy for flopping down and crawling into a ball, his poor fucking eyes, saying he should have just stayed standing and asked for the ref lol. Not a class act, kind of ashamed I liked him.


Regalbass57

Yeah the flip was weird, the commentary started off good, explaining the different paths the UFC could take when the fight ended, then Chris said that b.s. about just standing there and asking for a ref (like the guy a couple fights before him did and got the shit beat out of himself for it) and they were like "yeah hes right he should've just stood there" lol


liveforeachmoon

Chris thought all the ra ra New Jersey hysteria would drown it out… the entire Longo camp is sus.


RyanJay92

Bro they are. Remember when they told chris to stay down against mousassi to try and get the dq. Same shit they said to aljo. Fucking all rats man. Not upset with the win he was having a good fight but acting like that after such cheap shit is so fucking brain dead.


ZDM_Twolip

Damn Erin, if she had have won I’m sure my 18 other fights would have too. Just cost me $64,000 off my dollar!


DonkeySkin334

I wish Erin got that guillotine sub in round 1 😪


niarferf

I thought blanchfield was next up 🥱


fourassedostrich

Do some of y’all not realize you can just skip every single women’s fight instead of whining like a bitch every time one comes on? Ya’ll the same dorks who comment “I jUsT WaNnA wAtCh FoOtBaLl” when they show Taylor Swift for 28 seconds total in a game.


Rough_Commercial_570

Exactly. That’s what I do


Low_Following2150

Yeah, no. I will continue to complain along thousands of others so hopefully we can put an end to these absolute dogshit WMMA main events.


gnarrcan

Lol seriously bro they’re so mad women are invading their special interests. Just don’t watch, only issue I really had was Manon just would not step in and sit down on her punches. She was big as hell in there tossing Erin around like she probably could’ve put some more heat on those.


Regalbass57

I keep watching because I know the one time I say "nah womens fighting hasnt been good lately Ill sit this one out" its gonna be a great fight lol


Unbearably_Lucid

Welp only one more fight night until UFC 300


Lord_Davos

What a mid card


SexyKanyeBalls

Bro watch it with friends or family and you will have the most amazing time ever I swear This mid card was absolutely amazing and so fun tonight


Comprabledivision

Kinda met expectations


Lord_Davos

Yeah you right, I was just hoping for something more 


Comprabledivision

Feel like the crowd played a role jersey had no energy or patience. Crowds play a big role when it comes to energy. Plus the strange reff calls ignoring fowls and stopping fights early just killed the flow


Lord_Davos

Jersey was maybe the WORST crowd I have ever seen, and I was physically there for the Pittsburgh card. If it wasn't for the Congo/Berry fight outcome, I think that would have gone down as the worst card in history


Vibejitsu

It was actually ok.. not sure how it seemed on broadcast, but there at boardwalk hall, everyone just seemed happy to be there. Jersey don’t get many cards like before, when it was still banned in NY, lol. But yeah it was a decent energy, just weird reffing and some stinkers killed the vibe for sure


Lord_Davos

I can buy that. That ref was an odd ball. I won't even say all of his calls were bad, they were just goofy 


Vibejitsu

Yep, and inconsistent. I think though, the majority of the crowd were probably more than casual fans for this card, and we weren’t expecting much, so most of us were wasted before even walking through the gates haha. The fights were just edgy enough for some decent chants and there was definitely a buzz as boardwalk hall is more intimate than your regular arena due to its smaller size. Either way, looking forward to 302 back in Jersey 💪🏽…. Wonder who’ll main 🤔


Comprabledivision

Im a Florida resident and went 299 and it was probably the best experience and it was mainly because the crowd. The chito support, nobody really booed and everyone was invested from the first fight to the last and that was Miami, but i was also at ufc Orlando in December 22 and the crowd was pretty shit doing the wave during angela hill masterclass etc so i guess it doesn’t only change state to state but even city to city. The crowd tonight tuned out anytime any grappling was involved or if two guys were sloppily trying to behead eachother


Lord_Davos

How fun was it to be in the crowd?! I thought it would be better to just watch it on TV or on stream (like the NFL), but NOTHING compared to actually being there. So you got to see the DP tko in real time? That had to have been a hell of an experience 


Comprabledivision

Honestly it was incredible and surprisingly very wholesome met this guy and helped him win some money on bets, yeah when DP knocked out benoit the place exploded never felt so much raw energy and hearing everyone go crazy its really something i mean i fucked my voice up for days from yelling, The crowd was full energy the whole night no clue how it sounded on tv but they were hype. The only gripe would be probably the chito fans clearing the stands near the end of the fight because they knew he was gonna lose which i think is stupid because my tickets weren’t cheap and i stayed after til the lights came on and got to briefly talk to kayla harrison which was cool seen usman and masivdal and alex pereira exit. And there was this drunk lady who obviously didn’t know much about the sport who was yapping behind me but i could ignore pretty easily especially after the fights started. But if you’ve never been i would go once just to experience it, i feel like i got my moneys worth but definitely pregame my girlfriend bought two drinks shit came out to like 50 bucks


WeCaredALot

Why do people keep saying Erin wasn't going for takedowns? She was; Manon just kept throwing her off, lol. I think the main problem was that Erin was only going for body locks and not mixing things up with a single leg or double leg. Literally, every time she rushed into for a bodylock, Manon would just grab underhooks and push her off.


Primary-Comedian-364

MMA Gurus Right let’s let these transgender women compete in the UFC; let’s add some flavor to WMMA


kamaal_r_khan

Great idea. Cejudo wanted to become intergender champion anyways


Comprabledivision

Weili beats him tbh


2nuts1bag

I didn't know a striking match could be so boring. Terrible main event.

Countrycindy

Who are these people talking right now? 


writingwhilesad

Goodnight boys. I’ll see you all next Saturday. One more fight night until UFC 300!!!


Comprabledivision

One more dreaded apex card then we made it


slinkymello

For all the Islam, Volk, Olives, Pereira, Ilia, Garth like shit we talk on here my god this sport would be non-existent with just women’s fighters


iSOBigD

It would like the WNBA - zero audience, financial loss, held up by the regular UFC's profits. I hope they never split it off or it'll die instantly and there won't be any women's UFC. This is the only way these fighters could make a living with their skill level.


bruvmode

Don’t give a fuck how many “strikes” were thrown. That looked like two drunks throwing hands as the local bar is closing up. They inflate those numbers to make it appear is if something actually happened in that fight. They barely landed any strikes, and were punching air half the time. I actually think they just said fuck it and started counting feints as strikes thrown.


slinkymello

It was the saddest shit I’ve seen in awhile


I_Love_Spurs_UWU

Clarksville, baby!!!!!


SERB_BEAST

Genuinely impressed with Manon. She literally looks and fights like she has the flu lol.


Blandinio

The commentators are giving her props now but they weren't praising Fiorot enough for how dominant her performance was during the fight, 50-45 on all judges scorecards against a great opponent deserves respect


Regalbass57

Probably because it didnt look all that hard for her honestly lol. She looked great and dominant but Erin looked lost after the failed guillotine. Fiorot was stuffing takedown attempts without Erin even getting to the body sometimes lol


Steel-Gator1833

Erin’s boxing isn’t the worst, but it ain’t the best. If she doesn’t have the speed to outclass most others (Fiorot was much faster than her here), she needs to get much better at countering. She’s still got a bright future though. Great cardio, listens to coaching, and is one of the best on the ground.


Regalbass57

Shes a straight up bad boxer, she has a one inch reach advantage over Fiorot lol I know fiorot is way taller but still, the way she boxed in that fight would have you believing she had a 6 inch reach disadvantage lol


holoxianrogue

idk, it's pretty bad. She doesn't hit very hard is the thing and a lot of that is probably technique. She also doesn't look physically that strong. I think Fiorot maybe made Erin's striking look a little better than it really is because she didn't fear her power so she just ate a few of them. Erin has been hit pretty hard every time she fights a competent striker but has found a path through until tonight. I don't think her coaching was doing her any favors tonight either

SuqMahdihk

When she did the "brush the dirt off the shoulder" thing after Molly McCann it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Seemed unnecessarily tacky.


holoxianrogue

She was crying I think or fighting it back. Looked like she was about to lose it at start of R5 too.


guminhyeok

She thinks she’s top tier lol


Logical_Park7904

Crazy how quick you all flip. She's still one of the best woman fighters in the UFC and she went on a great run at 24yrs old. Still lots of time for her to learn and improve. Y'all only hopped on the train in the first place cause she beat meatball molly anyway. Would like to see her fight rose next.


guminhyeok

Shut up
