Can't choke out a zombie

[–] jscummy 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What an emotional retirement announcement

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

I'm not crying, you're crying. ;{

I feel like I got more choked up than TKZ himself did. Gotta respect him calling it at the right time though, and what a career/legacy

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Smith always looks like he’s dying in there.

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

He might actually be, this time. His career anyway.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Wow, this already looks much more interesting than I thought it would be. Max rocked?!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Zombie swinging while he was already asleep

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Max always looks on the verge of exhaustion, then throws a 5 punch combo and dances around you like it's nothing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

great first round!

suprised to see max kinda wobble

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chikadze looks like the first mook the hero beats up in an action movie.

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

"Yeah you got some nice moves kid, but you think you're ready to take ME?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Got that one by the skin of his teeth

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

We've seen a lot of great fighters put the gloves down lately. The passing of the old guard, so to speak.

Zombie is a legend. I'm happy I got up to see his last fight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Glad to see a competitive fight. I thought Max was going to box Zombie up easily.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zombie took off his gloves

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago
[–] jscummy 4 points 1 year ago

Get ready for a fight with 50 big shots a round and 0 knockdowns

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's what I want to see. These guys so worried about losing make the game boring.

Great fight, great card.

See yall next time.

I just bought my tickets for Almeida vs Blaydes, I'm gonna be there.

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

Fuck yeah, hopefully I get to one someday. Enjoy it bro!

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

Thanks man!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zombie looking sharp today

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

Indeed, I'm very impressed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zombie went out on his shield. Decided to go all in and see what happens.

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

It was beautiful.

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

I fuckin love the Zombie

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fights start in 7 hours. Getting this up early because 5am. Let’s go!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Excited to see blanchfield vs tayla santos

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Damn thanks for the thread, I would have missed that one for sure if I didn't see it here.

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

Ugh, so early, I don't think I can stay up.

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

woo 8 am sports!

I'm used to it though since I watch F1

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

I'm up early enough for the main and co main, nice.

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

That's true, Caceres was too unpredictable for him to flow. Great fight.

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

I'm really pulling for Smith to get a win here

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

Nasty.
Eye not looking good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hahaha, wtf was that?! Cutting out the audio for cussing after them smashing their heads in? What a fucking sad state of affairs.

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

Smith needs to pour it on now, he's become way too defensive

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

Yea, don't know how to score it.

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

Korean Zombie fight with Aldo was over 10 years ago. :O

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

That's crazy to think about

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Holy shit, Fernie is my hero. How can I change my nickname here?

Dude has the same name I have, I'll have to cheer for him now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Getting spammed with ads for The Nun this early feels wrong

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Fights & Pancakes this morning!
