GDT: UFC Fight Night: Blaydes vs. Aspinall/Bellator 283: Lima vs. Jackson

[pistolpete11]

Blaydes elbows against Overeem make me wince every time I see them.

 

[Chaels Arms]

Crowd is confused as to whether to support Paul Craig or boo the constant guard pulling.

 

[Taytro]

Hard to score this one. I feel Craig is winning the striking/damage but Volkan is always on top, even though Craig initiates it. How do you score that?

 

[pistolpete11]

I don't know what's funnier. Craig pulling mount or the ref constantly gesturing to Volkan to go into Craig's guard.

That wasn't the right ref for that fight, what was he doing.

Lmao wut is that scoring?

 

[I am not exposed]

had Volkan winning but not unanimous.

 

[m9]

What a weird fight.

Given how the prelims went, "weird" is a solid upgrade at least from those ones.

Both guys just looked like bad versions of themselves.

I started watching with the Wood fight and haven't enjoyed a single one so far. Some of Wood's striking was fun and he mixed things up well but man, it has been rough. Hopefully it picks up here....

On paper this is a really good and fun card.

He's either a Craig fan or completely oblivious to what Craig's gameplan is (and thus Volkan's gameplan).

Meh. I think the scores are justifiable. Volkan was out striking Craig in every round and hits much harder.

Do you think he was telling him to go into the guard? I thought he was saying to either go into the guard or back off, but don't just stand there in-between. Pretty typical reffing in those kind of fights. Maybe I missed it though.

I mean, probably, but the motion he kept making with his hands was like "Well? Aren't you going to go into his guard?"

Damn, another sick KO for Molly

The hand gestures were pointing Volkan into Craig's guard. If the ref knew anything he'd have stepped in quicker knowing that Volkan wasn't going in there.

Molly McCann is just feeeeeding on the hype. Another highlight reel KO.

 

[m9]

Cool finish. I know she's crushed a couple of cans in London but that's two big finishes for her in big moments.

And hey cool, something happened on this card. Finally.

 

[I am not exposed]

No one will know these basketball players in the UK.

 

[Chaels Arms]

UFC hall of famer Alex Gustafsson? I know they put Jones v. Gustafsson 1 in but not Gustafsson as a fighter.

 

[MMC]

 

[I am not exposed]

Gus is done.

Has been for a while.

 

[Taytro]

Gus should have stayed retired. Holy hell he's looked bad since returning.

 

[MMC]

I guess he should just try heavyweight if he wants to keep fighting

 

[pistolpete11]

Yikes.

 

[m9]

Krylov is a bad matchup for Gus but that went even worse than expected.

 

[I am not exposed]

I wish they would stop calling Gus a hall of famer. A hall of fame fight is very different to an actual hall of famer.

 

[MMC]

Would Gus have even beat Rothwell?

 

[Chaels Arms]

The weight loss, weight gain cycle for Pimblett can't be good for long term health.
