GDT: UFC 242: Khabib vs. Poirier

[member 51464]

I think they would too, if there was not such a long delay and/or if it was on at the regular night fight time.

Makhachev could be the next Dagestani lightweight big name after Khabib is done. He deserves a ranked opponent

 

[Sheppy]

Anyone know where I can stream this? I’m trying to find a decent site, but can’t.

 

[Peasy]

Anyone know why Joe isn't there?

Rogan doesn't do international PPVs anymore (except for Canada). He didn't want to travel that much.

 

[member 51464]

Because he is a big and well-established name and doesn't like to take long trips away from the family. He is unlikely to ever travel to Brazil cards or Australia, etc...again. Outside the continental U.S. or Canada, and it is more likely than not he doesn't make it.

Hard to blame him. He's got more than enough money, he's seen so many great fights, and the really, really big fights now almost always happen in either Vegas or New York.

Did I mishear or was one judge 30-27 Felder and one 30-27 Barboza? I don't think I've ever seen a disparity like that.

 

[Neutrinos]

I only caught the last round, but how is it possible that one judge had it 3 - 0 for Felder, and another had it 3 - 0 for Barbosa?

 

[Neutrinos]

Felder thinks he's going to retire and become an actor?

Someone should tell him he's a redhead

 

[Abandoneduser]

Looking at the stats, how Felder won that

 

[Neutrinos]

Poirier has been on such a run lately, it wouldn't shock me if he pulled off the upset

 

[Deen]

If this fight goes to decision... These judges may gift one. 30-27 Felder? What fight did that judge watch? Great fight though.

 

[Abandoneduser]

Trollbot

 

[pistolpete11]

Good fight, but I had Barboza winning, too.

 

[Neutrinos]

Poirier seems like one of the nicer guys in MMA, I'm hoping he can derail the Khabib train

 

[member 51464]

Just don't embarass yourself, Poirier.

mostly he just wants to smoke weed and chill with eddie bravo and do fight companions...which is a treat if you can manage to get it synced up live

 

[Taytro]

I had Barbiza winning but I'm glad Felder did. How 2 of those judges had either guy winning 3 rounds is an absolute joke. 29-28 split could have went either way but neither guy won 2 rounds. Judging is awful.

 

[Abandoneduser]

It's over

 

[Abandoneduser]

I'll admit the diamond is hanging on pretty good, but even diamonds will go to sleep

 

[Taytro]

How Khabib is able to hold on to guys is amazing to me. Its like hes got glue on his hands.

 

[Canes]

Khabib is going to smesh and there's nothing you can do about it

 

[member 51464]

I think Poirier's leg got f***ed up on a kick around a minute into the 2nd round. His movement basically stopped immediately. They say he slipped, but I think something popped or twisted.

 

[Taytro]

Poirer is going to gas if he keeps throwing these slow wide rangey hooks.
