Diego Lopez is the real deal
He’s so exciting and dynamic. I think we’ll see him fighting for a title before long.
He’s my new Erick Silva.
Fuck yeah, I am so glad the BMF didn’t get decided by the judges
Fuck yeah, Jiri had me worried. He is a goddam tank.
Hands down and legs open for kicks. I thought he was on his way to a loss too. Nice turn around and finish by Jiri!
Holy fuck no way. Max with the ko 100% just earned himself 300k
I thought Max was in trouble when he took this fight, but I was wrong. What a savage!
Same before the fight I just said “I’m rooting for max to survive I don’t want to see his career ended”. I was so wrong max stock through the roof
Now I wanna see him do whatever the hell he wants. Aside from the lack of low kick defense, he looks like he could give anyone at lightweight and featherweight a tough fight.
Ilia looked shook after the finish. Probably just in shock like the rest of us.
He looked genuinely nervous to have been called out by Max
Can’t blame him after that performance. Max was fighting a great fight up to and including the finish.
I just realized the title of this thread says UFC 290. Good enough for government work!
yeah I just noticed as well. I guess you now where where I copy pasted the title from
Hey there’s activity here, so it works! Also Aljo vs Kattar sucked.
Justin and Max deserve the 300k for fight of the night, unless there is something crazy left to come
Everyone lower in the card simultaneously shed a tear. Max is a lock for at least $300k.
A bit late but I didnt see one up. Pretty good early prelims so far.
Thanks for putting this up! I was slackin. 300 is off to a strong start.
Damn, gotta put some respect on Alex’s name if you haven’t already
Thanks to everyone who participated tonight. Special thanks to @ya_dong for picking up my slack.
In future I want to get the thread up a day earlier so we can get predictions in and see how everyone’s picks play out.
That’s a good idea. Let’s give it a shot.
I feel like I might need to be on the receiving end of some ground and pound. Everytime I see the ref stop it im like bro he was fine let the fight go on. Based on the moicano and Lopez fights
Kayla arms are like SpongeBob’s when he inflates them.
Harrison vs. Holm went about as expected. Pennington is probably nervous after seeing that performance.
Strong first round for Rakic.
Edit: Didn’t matter
Good decision. I thought Tsarukyan was out for a second with that d’acre attempt, but he gutted it out.
I thought he was out at the end because he sort of flopped at one point but turns out he was chilling waiting for the bell.
Why make a BMF belt when Anik can’t even say “motherfucker” on air?
Round 2 had me thinking it was the blind motherfucker belt.
No doubt. The UFC gloves are a real problem. I can’t think of any reason to not switch to a new design after countless eye pokes over the years.
Funny enough it is the new glove…but the problem persists.
