GDT: UFC 282: Blachowicz vs. Ankalaev/Bellator 289: Stots vs. Sabatello

[Bunk Moreland]

Just got home and turned it on to daukaus getting wrecked... looks like I missed a solid start to the card.

Daukaus quits his job as a Philly cop and gets KO'd in 3 straight... yikes.

Hate how those instant finishes lead to a half hour of this filler

Better than a boring fight that goes to decision.

Kid looks good!

Not the best of competition but he did what he had to do!

 

[pistolpete11]

Geez.

Now another 15min of bullshit

 

[m9]

Yeah, he looked great. Hopefully the UFC builds him pretty slow and keeps giving him appropriate fights.

Rosas Jr. "Dana, I need that 50G's so I can buy my Mom a mini-van, so she can drive me to the PI."


That's incredible.

He must be a fan of Ric Flair.

 

[Avs_19]

No idea how good he is but anyone doing that at 18 is impressive. They should just let him fight non-UFC level competition while in the UFC for like the next year at least.

 

[Avs_19]

It's kinda wild how so much of MMA media turned on Paddy because he **** on Ariel. He was still a media darling last week and then gone just like that.

I mean, I find him pretty annoying and don't see it going well against top competition but damn.

I get it.

That was a really bad look for Paddy and I think most people respect Ariel whether they are willing to admit it out loud or not.

 

[Avs_19]

What a line.

 

[I am not exposed]

Mitchell getting dominated.

 

[MD thaivuN]

Topuria is a tank

 

[I am not exposed]

Easy win for Topuria

 

[Avs_19]

That was never close. Topuria is legit and looks like a contender.

 

[pistolpete11]

Thought Topuria would KO him, not get a sub, but probably doesn't get the sub without battering him on the feet.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

What a line.

Well... he did lol.

I expected more out of Mitchell but I've thought for a while Topuria could be a legit title contender one day. Idk maybe he's gotta get those insane haymaker throws under control but he looked great.

 

[Avs_19]

Paddy might beat him in a presser but he wants no part of that.

It was the strategy as so many people used against Maia. Stuff the takedowns and you're good.

 

[I am not exposed]

Still all finishes....

Yeah Mitchell looked very amateur with his striking.

It's good to see wrestling not completely dominate UFC

Mitchell strikes me more as a BJJ player than a wrestler. Better takedowns than a Maia, but yeah, he needs better striking to be able to setup his takedowns. I think the days of just being able to blast double legs without any setup are long over.

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Tillaev new fighter

 

[MD thaivuN]

Till with his usual no urgency even when he's getting beat up lol

 

[I am not exposed]

Lol at Till.
What was he learning in Thailand?
