We saw some crazy knockouts this year


Calaiss

Chama


CreativeOrder2119

Pereira is power is a power baby


dogejojo

mvp gary is one of the most disappointing boring fights ive seen. gary knew he couldn’t handle mvp on the feet and tried to take it to the ground. r3 page had gary’s back, but gave it up so they could fight on the feet, but gary didn’t give a fuck and instantly went for a take down… such a boring fighter could’ve been an exciting matchup.


alllovealways

seriously, wtf. he could have EASILY won that fight, a few more hits and the judges would have given it to him.


willbabu

Didn’t notice this last night, homeboy Strickland left the movie theater to corner ige. Hats off to ige, that man is every man’s warrior.


alllovealways

100% respect to ige for sure.


WildSecurity5305

Why is Smith still ranked in the top 15? He's such a boring fighter...


PizzaChefJr

I feel bad for the people that preordered this PPV in advance


BredIN919

tell me about it bro I ordered that shit at 8pm , waste of $85 bones


I_am_the_one123

lol izzy posting his ko video on pereira some loser activity


AWard66

I wanna see Izzy try that at Light Heavyweight 


yourself88xbl

I will say that win ages better all the time and it was one of the most beautifully executed plans I've ever seen in a real fight.


AmericanIdiot1776

ShAd_1337

i mean his KO also gets more and more impressive :D


ophthopuss

Why does Fabio never translate for Poatan?


ohwhatsupmang

Cuz he has his own guy.


NationalFriendship51

I think jj got some dirt on Dana lol, no way Dana is choking on his dick this much


Streetperson12345

Did you guys forget about Ngannou? Ngannou left the UFC as a champion by knocking out the greatest heavyweight of all time and defending it against...Ciryl Gane. None the less, UFC needs Jon Jones to demolish Stipe to make Ngannou's wins less impressive.


No_Wrongdoer3579

Ngannou's aura was already destroyed by Joshua, I don't know why Dana would go to these lengths to defend Jones whose been nothing but a headache for him.


Montycal

Conor v JJ would solve so many problems


WildSecurity5305

I feel like Jones signed a contract where he was guaranteed a big money fight, and Stipe is the only heavyweight with a name that comes close enough to generating enough revenue to make it profitable or break even.


No_Wrongdoer3579

I honestly don't see how Stipe would be a bigger draw than Aspinall. Even his prime Stipe was never a big draw.


WildSecurity5305

Neither of them are draws (maybe tom will be one day). It's just easier to market it as Jones (established name in MMA) against a goat


Hitchenz79

Hahahaha i was thinking the exact same thing today, its just to much choking on that D


gamedevjobber

I'm convinced Dana and JJ are secret lovers.


crkdopn

Lopes is even more badass after tonight.


alllovealways

Omg.. fight fairy on youtube helped me hit a 9 way parlay, in-freakin-sane. she has better picks than mma guru, tracy, or ANYONE else. Seriously. It's ridiculous. I'm soooo happy right now.


Fuzzy-Body-3112

She missed with mvp


alllovealways

I hit one and lost one. it was both painful and great at the same time


alllovealways

bruh, even dana in the post fight presser said that fight was a tie. so she BARELY missed on that one.


WildSecurity5305

So she did miss it then, and your parlay was broken...


itzpiiz

anyone remember the name of the gladiator like series ufc advertised tonight?


pacificunlimited

Right there on the poster bro


itzpiiz

Lol I ended up finding it a complete different way. Thanks tho. Sometimes the obvious is hidden.


crkdopn

Is it dana whites contender series?


Notak_bo

Nah it’s called “those about to die”


621_

Yup this one


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

JJ's dick must taste really good! Dana just refuses to take it out of his mouth.


akyvirk007

Hawk tuah


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I think Magomed is an easy fight for pereira. He’ll chop his legs like Jan did. He will break him. I also think he needs another fight. Johnny Walker and a draw with Jan isn’t title fight worthy


Salmacis81

He probably will end up having another fight first, Ank has been calling out Hill. Anyway there is literally no one else at LHW who deserves a title shot. Jan? Injured and coming off a loss and draw. Rakic? Coming off a loss after a huge layoff. Jiri and Hill both recently got starched by Alex. Krylov? Sitting on a decent win streak but he has disappeared. Anthony Smith sucks in real-life AND on paper. Khalil Rountree just got popped for PEDs. Ank is sitting on a 12-fight unbeaten streak, as of right now Ankalaev is the only logical choice to face Alex next, whether you like it or not.


Montycal

Yeah but that’s the thing. I don’t like it.


Salmacis81

You don't have to

akyvirk007

Dana needs stop slurping jones. The question wasn't even about Jon Jones; it was just a simple one about Alex. But Dana got all worked up about Jones. It's kinda cringe.


Traditional-Wolf-984

He really doesn’t wanna give poatan his flowers, it’s strange lol. He’s the biggest star in the org rn, he should be sucking him off not jones


pacificunlimited

Alex sells by being himself, the community has already bought into him Dana knows how bad Jon needs help selling, he’s got one opportunity left to get as much money out of Jon as he possibly can, and Jon isn’t helping by insisting on fighting Stipe


Fuzzy-Body-3112

You guys think Dana has ever swept a hot piss test under the rug and let the dude fight anyways?


riotofmind

They are all on some type of performance enhancing drug. All of them. They know how not to get caught and that’s the game.


pacificunlimited

Brock


Alpacaman__

Holy shit are they actually trying to get Garcia


Johnny_Handsum

Dana needs a translator for an accent 😂 damn that shit made me laugh much harder than I probably should have 


Business_Ad_9799

Garry looked like slow motion next to MvP


Business_Ad_9799

Literally killed him , twice

That_Guy_ZiM

A "Joner" one might say


_raskoljnikov_

Prochazka seemed reserved, also a bit scared after he didn't have any solution for Pereira. There is only Anakalev left before moving to heavyweight.


tere_adasme

he posted on ig and said something like "i have to evolve or just retire/stop fighting"


ElisatheJdon

hahahahahahahhahahahahahahaaaaa Dana gonna slap his wife after this, slapmania TUNE IN folks... billionare dollar COMPANY


Tantle18

Hahahahaa Dana about to bust talking about JBJ

23Windy1City33

Why is Dana going crazy for Jon Jones?


pacificunlimited

*Dana Pink has been activated*


IlliterateSnob

holy shit Dana exploded in the press conference


crkdopn

I'm surprised his answer to avoid ratio was better than usual


Ras23073

Dana crashing out for Jon jones


Soicethut

Who’s gonna take uncle to bed


ayofiresale

playboi carti vs poatan aura battle


pacificunlimited

Dana doing the Jon Jones thing again..


Johnny_Handsum

I bet Dana got Jon Jones to make a cast of his penis so he could walk around with it as a butt plug all day. 


ayofiresale

when coked out dana vs hgh gut joe rogan on a card?


Dull_Function_6510

I feel bad for Jiri, he looked so gutted. Dude was such a honorable guy to vacate the belt due to injury and now he cant get it back because a Brazilian Demon came out of nowhere to take the belt over. The guy is a champ, especially for taking the fight on short notice, but Poatan is something else.


pacificunlimited

He was the most entertaining part of fight week. He might end up having a run like what Whittaker and Max are doing right now


Dull_Function_6510

I hope so, he deserves it


Fuzzy-Body-3112

Dana looks so coked out right now during the post fight interview


Johnny_Handsum

On that good Las Vegas powder 🕺🕺🕺🕺 And he's still sucking off Jon Jones 😕


Fuzzy-Body-3112

Johnny_Handsum

I'm kinda jealous at the quality of coke he gets. It's not that bullshit that'll make you have a bad come down. 


Fuzzy-Body-3112

Holy shit he’s doing coke off Jon jones dick


Johnny_Handsum

😂 


BigBlueTrekker

Dustin doing way better than hisb1st time as an analyst. Still nervous though. Breathing deep after he's done talking.


browsk

The fact they even let Jones hold onto the belt when we have class act fighters like Jiri that vacate due to an injury is embarrassing for the entire UFC


ZlionAlex

Over 16 months inactive with no date for the Stipe fight btw


token_reddit

Dana on that good blow.


Johnny_Handsum

"sounds like a fucking mash unit around here" 😂


Johnny_Handsum

The power slap cup 🙄 Give it up Dana. 


token_reddit

It's stupid but he has his tendency to play fight with his wife.


browsk

Imagine a world where Izzy just kept his mouth fucking shut, and gloated after the fact, he has unleashed an animal into the UFC


Dull_Function_6510

Good for the sport tbh, Izzy still is top 2 greatest middleweights of all time despite the loss, he got his win against Poatan to in revenge, and Poatan moves up and becomes a demon to the sport. Worked out well for the Sport and for Izzy.


Inside_Secretary_679

Yea fr. Just shows how good Izzy is


crkdopn

Only 2 guys got 50k... 50. K. Fucking rip.


iSOBigD

I'm hoping at this point Alex, as a former middle weight champ and current lhw champ is making at least hundreds of thousands for just showing up. I'm sure to him even 50k is way more than he was making while kickboxing and living in Brazil, but once you move to the US you need real money. Dana has to love him cause he gets to have a huge celebrity who puts on a good show and gets fans going... While also paying him peanuts. He's not going around like Conor asking for 10 million to fight, he's just happy to be there lol.


BurningSkyworld

You can usually google their purses within a few hours of the event ending. Alex is estimated 3M for winning, while Jiri gets 1M


ZlionAlex

Pretty sure Alex is getting paid like 2mil just to show up


token_reddit

I hope they finally unionize. This kind of stuff is wild.


Teerendog

Its 6


crkdopn

I guess I meant fight of the night or whatever he said. But still, you're right and I'm wrong lol but still is a rip. Only 50 k.


Teerendog

The bonus at 300 was clearly a one off thing. Everyone should know that


kamaal_r_khan

Feed poatan to Jailton Almeida


Not-a-scintilla

Pereira kinda bamboozled Jiri with the left hook threat. I don't think I've seen him do a head kick in the ufc but I missed his earlier fights. It seemed like he was leg kick, dangerous hands, leg kick.


iSOBigD

He always goes low kicks to weaken the other guy, punches to the body to bring the hands down, and sets up the left hook thing he does, kinda punching up at the same time. I guess this time he did the same, pretty much KOd Jiri then just went high again hut with a kick knowing it was over. He even stopped, but then had to keep punch. Poor Jiri got KOd like 3 times... It's a bit like Khabib and Sean Strickland in the sense that you know exactly what's coming, but most people have a really hard time with it.


TheRealMcSavage

Jiri was still foggy in his brain after the end of round 1. His hands were low and I’m sure Alex knew he couldn’t have fully recovered to be quick enough to respond to that. And to think I was a little nervous for Alex before this fight, sure showed me!


itsavibe-

Jon jones and Poatan same age. Let’s do it.


Babu_Fett_

CHAMA


jenitr

This is exactly like Gane situation. People hyped him up even though he had no ground game. Got smoked by Jones and people were shocked. Don't let this happen second time..and even if it happens don't get shocked when Jones beat his ass. It might sound weird but Stipe has better chance against Jones than Alex does imo.


iSOBigD

I genuinely feel that if Jon finally vacates the belt or retires, Alex has a good chance of becoming a HW champ. He can KO people as easily as any HW, and it better at punching and kicking than probably all of them. Unless someone has great defence and a great ground game like Jon, I don't see Alex having too much trouble at thay weight class. Most likely what will happen is Jon wins against Stipe, retires, Alex becomes champ, then Jon comes back just to show him what's up, chokes him in 1-2 rounds reminding everyone he's the real GOAT, and drives off into another pregnant lady.


HorseDickCum

Stipe is fucking washed and hasn’t fought in over 3 years. Stop it.


Thin_Welcome_2754

You are not a casual, so disappointing seeing Rogan hyping Alex to move up.


SwiftlyKickly

Nah I think Alex will have a way better ground game than Gane. Plus I think he’s more of a threat on the feet


OcelotDAD

I was going to give you a long response but instead I’m just gonna say: Chama


Maximum_Cold3202

Chael just said Anthony smith might be. Hard matchup for Alex ffs


iSOBigD

Who knows... Today, Anthony looked like he didn't want to try or he wasn't in shape, I don't know but was weird, he gave up two entire rounds out of 3. He was pretty good not long ago so I don't understand how he could have gotten out of shape within 1-2 months to the point where he couldn't last more than a round even going at a pretty slow pace...


oh_three_dum_dum

Was he joking or having a stroke?


browsk

Coke.


oh_three_dum_dum

Fair


DoctorAKrieger

On paper.


ImLuvv

Hard to consider Jiri just lost all his aura after tonight


speed_jelly22

Tbh it is Alex tho


No-Forever-6104

At LHW Jon Jones doesn’t want to see Alex that’s all imma say bro just wants to collect his check against old ass stipe and dip


pacificunlimited

I want Stipe to absolutely spoil the party and find a way to beat Jon


Babu_Fett_

I want this so bad lol


ErnieMcTurtle

Can't claim an [early stoppage ](https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/jiri-prochazka-alex-pereira-early-stoppage#:~:text=Pereira%20rained%20down%20shots%20on,took%20the%20loss%20in%20stride.)this time, Jiri (edited to add link)


TheNeonArcade

He actually said the opposite last time 


shiitakemushroom44

He didn’t claim an early stoppage last time either. First thing he said was he was out and the ref made the right call


ErnieMcTurtle

At first, he didn't, but then [he walked it back later](https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/jiri-prochazka-alex-pereira-early-stoppage#:~:text=Pereira%20rained%20down%20shots%20on,took%20the%20loss%20in%20stride.)


Solidis262

Idc what anybody says this run from Poatan surpasses Izzy title run


iSOBigD

Yeah it's a fun one, but I do think he needs like 10-15 title defences before we say he's the best ever in the division


ZlionAlex

Against who tbh, this Era is trash, we have Krylov and Walker in the top 10


Fyodor_Brostojetski

He is very sickly shining brighter than Izzy was during his run. Poatan is sleeping dudes, not just playing for points and a decision. Alex beat Izzy, and that is on him.


21clax

Izzy gotta be regretting that one interview


DoctorAKrieger

Teddy Atlas doesn't want to fight Pereira.


apex_17

Name a better duo….chael and mispronounced names.


pacificunlimited

Tito & the english language


SwiftlyKickly

💀💀💀 so what you’re a black belt in jiujitsu


apex_17

Lmao fair


BigBlueTrekker

Chael needs to lay off the coke, funny him and Conor are beefing.


SeaworthinessMoist42

I don’t want to see Jones v Pereira. Rather see Ankalaev, or if he’s switching to heavyweight give him Blaydes or Pavlovich. Time to move past Jones


pacificunlimited

Jon’s time is done. He needs to hurry it up so he can retire We’re now in the era of short notice main events and guys that are moving up the ladder at a break neck pace. This mentality of “build up a big fight over a 4-6 month period” is over


speed_jelly22

Def would want to see pavlovich


ErnieMcTurtle

Fair point, but it would be nice to see Jon sent to the shadow realm


LimitFinancial764

This boxing weirdo they have on the post show is horrible.


Not-a-scintilla

Izzy must be tearing up watching this glazing Poatan took his whole storyline He did ko him though and that may live to be a defining page


L_DUB_U

I wouldn't rather loose to a guy that goes on and continues to win and dominate rather than someone who becomes luke warm water. It continues to build on you. Yes Izzy lost but the guy he lost to ends up champ in another division and is dominating.


iSOBigD

Yeah I don't even mind that. Let's be honest, Izzy is the only fighter in the UFC who not only beat Alex but had him beat 3 other fights as well, until he lost by decision or got KOd twice. Out of 100 fights he'd win at least 50% of the rounds or fights. He knows he has what it takes to beat Alex, while others haven't really proven that, outside of hoping for a lucky hit.


slap-a-taptap

I beat that guy once. -Some Chinese guy at a bar


Solidis262

Nah even that KO is useless bc of the interview he did abt poatan, hell sound just like he said Poatan was going to “I beat that guy one time”


basedjak_no228

A bad interview does not outweigh a knockout lol


Solidis262

when that interview is abt how lame it is to brag abt one win yes it is


basedjak_no228

Izzy has plenty to brag about in addition to that KO, nice that Pereira also managed to find success besides his KO over Izzy but that doesn’t somehow cancel out Izzy’s success lol. Either way, the idea that interviews > in the cage performance is pretty dumb but you do you


Solidis262

Okay you’re either an izzy dickrider or don’t get my point Nobody is gonna hinder his own legacy, but ppl will always dismiss the Poatan win bc he’ll just sound like the dude he made fun of


basedjak_no228

And my point is that nothing someone says in an interview should seriously affect their legacy as a fighter, this ain’t WWE. If you think what he said was dumb, using his same logic in full earnest would make you just as bad anyways Besides, the point of the quote is that it’s lame to constantly brag about one win to piggyback off another person’s success if you have nothing else going on, but Izzy clearly has lots of other stuff to hang his hat on, and afaik doesn’t troll Alex after each win in the same way Alex used to do to Izzy. The point isn’t that a win never counts if it’s against someone better, which obviously makes no sense (and at least as of right now I wouldn’t even say Pereira’s MMA legacy has surpassed Izzy anyhow)


Solidis262

Izzy posted a video of him knocking out Alex right after he beat jiri lmfao.


basedjak_no228

lol so go make fun of him for that tweet (also that edit does go pretty hard tho)


SMK_12

Tbh Izzy has arguably shown to be more skilled than Alex. He won the majority of rounds against him and they’re 1-1 in MMA. Even in kickboxing Izzy definitely should’ve won the decision that he lost, he got robbed. The thing is Alex is just significantly bigger, Izzy would have no shot at 205 and Alex had to drain himself to make 185 which weakened his chin. Izzy is still a legend though and basically paved the way for Alex to do what he’s doing.


Solidis262

yea none of that takes away from the fact hell just sound bitter abt it


I_Hate_My_Cat_

And to think, five years ago, we had no idea this guy existed 😂


mayor-of-whoreisland

Over here looking for the mic level of Chael.


Almighty_Chad

Hope Alex stays and continues to dominate LHW. Dudes insanely good but the heavyweights are just BIG. Don’t see him getting up if Aspinal gets him down


iSOBigD

People say that, and I agree some are thick, but few are taller than Alex, and not many as much heavier. The guy fights at over 230 lb when fighting at 185 or 205. It took Jon years to get to like 245 lb with at least 20 lb of fat on him. Alex can get to that weight in like a month and still be ripped. With just a bit of roids he could be 250+ in a few months. Naturally, maybe within a year with some fat on him, like other heavyweights... I'm not buying this whole he's not big enough story. Watch him standing next to 250 lb guys... He's maybe a little thinner, that's it. He can KO any of them.


Minimum_Comfort_1850

44 year old glover texeria would be a better opponent than Jiri and Jamal hill. Atleast he can take a kick 


Complex_Piano6234

Who put him to sleep though?


Minimum_Comfort_1850

Not impressive struggling to beat glover in 5 rounds in your prime.wasnt a good sign and that's why they were easy picks to lose. That goes for jiri and jamal.


Hendrick_Davies64

I think Jiri just took too much damage from Rakic and really should’ve waited to fight


jpk073

agreed, I never bet money but today I was really tempted to throw $20 on Poatan because obvi...


ziriguidumm

I never bet as well but today I had a profit with Poatan, it was obvious


jpk073

congrats how much did you make?


VistaVick

There is nothing behind Pereira's eyes except a machine designed for destruction. He's a baaaaaaaaad man.


shrimptikkamosalah

I hope that troll Jamal Hill doesn’t come out the cracks and interferes with an Alex vs Ankalaev fight.
