I did not have that on the bingo card.

The sound of Gaethje’s shots landing on the arms and body is crazy.

The bridge of Jan's nose looks awful.

I hope Lewis and Ferguson bring back some of their old magic but I am not too optimistic.

Jan is a scary backpack.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I feel that was the right decision. Alex looked like he could go another round, Jan looked like he might have a heart attack.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Dustin needs to start checking those kicks. They are going to add up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Holy shit

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Got him with the Jorge masvidal opening.

Somebody on the other site posted: The name Miranda Maverick sounds like a patriotic pornstar.

Hello fellow mma aficionado

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You hear the roar in there? It's a lot of people for the prelims but the sound in the Delta Center in SLC is shit. It has no sound treatment so it is loud AF. They used to put the decibel level on the screen during Jazz playoff games so I think they intentionally make it loud as hell in there by not using any sound treatment.

May not matter in this fight, but Bonfim is chinny once they start throwing.

EDIT: it didn’t matter
