We have the UFC in Vegas, Bellator in Moscow, plus KSW and Glory with some big shows. Plus, the great Shakur Stevenson going up against Jamel Herring in boxing. The majority of the action, except for boxing, takes place in the afternoon, by the way.
wish there was more of that. Fighters aren't going to truly take it seriously if they know they will get a warning every time. Start taking points from the first offense and those fingers will be up or closed
Trinaldo about to make the walk for the 25th time in the UFC. The man is 43 years old and somehow, father time has yet to tap him on the shoulder. Grant has the power, but he's too hesitant of a striker. Not sure what to make here. Trinaldo?
This is the battle of chins here. Negumereanu checks in at 26% striking defense and absorbs nearly 6 strikes a minute. Villanueva checks in at 36% striking defense, absorbing nearly eight strikes a minute. Negumereanu has never been stopped, whereas Villanueva has been stopped in eleven of his twelve losses.
Excited for this one. I may be off on this one, but I like Onama as a big dog. Jones is super talented and I think has a bright future. Just think Onama, who is a combined 18-0 as an amateur and professional is being slept on here. Then again, he is moving up a weight class. Regardless, fun fight. Much better than Jones against Alan Patrick 2, which just had Beatdown written all over it.
Can't wait for Onama at Featherweight and with a full camp. One of the more UFC ready fighters I've seen leading up this fight. He's not even a bad grappler either, just that weight disadvantage killed him. Excited for the Ugandan!
I dont think Costa can make Middleweight anymore and instead of trying, he dragged a Middleweight in Vettori up to Light Heavyweight. Like some diabolical plan to avoid fighting a Light Heavyweight in his foray up a division. Just my opinion.
Yeh one would know much earlier than week of fight he wasn’t going to make weight your right. Tbh costa ain’t that good haha old Yoel, USAda version of Hendricks and a yet matured Uriah hall and some no name to get to that fight with Izzy…when ya look at that and his fights before ufc. Front runner 😂😂
Maybe Costa? his cut to 185 has never been easy for him.
I think both guys could still have plenty of success in the MW division. Marvin would probably have to have a few spectacular fights with some great opponents before he got another shot. Costa may have an easier path to the belt again seeing as he hasn't lost to the Izzy twice yet.
Vettori can take a punch and kick. My goodness.
Well, I missed Glory. So next up is BKFC. Ariel, you don't watch that much, do you?
Glad Vettori won after all the controversy.
I have it 48-46 Vettori. Great fight.
Costa went for the Izzy spank haha
Saw that 😂
The fact that Costa has even lasted 5 rounds is insane. He looked done after the 1st
i wish i could hear these kicks in person
what a fight. drama aside, these guys are delivering
Costa looks much better tonight, I guess wine story holds up
loved that point deduction. herzog is one of the very best
Yes they always say the first warning is in the back!
wish there was more of that. Fighters aren't going to truly take it seriously if they know they will get a warning every time. Start taking points from the first offense and those fingers will be up or closed
Very interesting point deduction, not something you see often - but should see more of. I like it.
Costa doing a little bit of cardio on the way to the Octagon in preparation for this fight!
Not fond of either guy. No clue who i want to win haha
Main event time! Let’s go.
Majority draw. Fair enough.
Maybe a draw??
Wow, i am an MMA guru
hope Vettori wins, Costa doesnt deserve the win with all of this nonsense
325lbs of Bombardier falls hard to Pudzianowski
Took until the official decision for him to even realize the fight is over
Anyone else's commentary keep cutting out?
Mine was. Im guessing someone was cussing in the background and they had to mute
Yeah I think that’s what it is. It’s annoying. ESPN+ is a paid subscription and not on cable TV so why do they have to censor it?
Nope
Anaheim is back baby
270 looks great as well!
Lesssgooo Jessy Jess! Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Bryce Mitchell v Bruce Leeroy. Book it.
Gotta give credit to Caceres. To bounce back from that illegal knee and submit Choi. Solid win too. 5 straight for Bruce Leeroy!
Jason Herzog is the best ref in the biz
100%.
Couldn't agree more!
Illegal knee 😳
UFC 268 is going to be soooo good.
I can’t wait. 269 is stacked too.
anyone see that rico fight?
What. A. War. That eye was hard to look at, probably harder to look out of though…
holy smokes that was amazing. I'd love to see him fight JDS or Reem next
Fedor! ❤️
FEDOR BY KO OMG
VICIOUS KO BY THE LAST EMPEROR
WOW Fedor! What a knockout!
Oh My
Fedor walking out now!

24th*

And that solves that. Villanueva has now been stopped in twelve of his thirteen losses.
Live by the sword die by the sword haha
Like scenes of Klose v Dariush there
What a back and forth fight between Park & Rodriguez 👏👏👏
What a Fight! Rodrigues and Park delivered!
Usman Nurmagomedov with a dominant 1st round win via rear naked choke. He is my favorite active Nurmagomedov to watch. So good.
Can’t wait to see him against some real competition.
Rodrigues is a big Middleweight and absolutely yoked. Wonder if Park can take him down. I think no, but we shall see.
Onama could be DANGEROUS at 145! so talented
Mason Jones as good as he might be, he takes a ton of damage. At only 26 not what you want to see. 3rd round incoming…
Onama gonna be a helluva one to watch that was Awesome
Onama looks great! He's got some hands!
Maybe a little premature... but this is FOTN!
great fight going on at Bellator right now...Tokov is tough
Excited for this one. I may be off on this one, but I like Onama as a big dog. Jones is super talented and I think has a bright future.

Is there any coach cornering more guys than James Krause?
Henri hooft that’s about it haha
Mason Jones is very bloody good.
Anyone think Paulo and Marvin should stay at 205 seeing as they’re both not getting a shot at 185 belt anytime this century?
I dont think Costa can make Middleweight anymore and instead of trying, he dragged a Middleweight in Vettori up to Light Heavyweight. Like some diabolical plan to avoid fighting a Light Heavyweight in his foray up a division. Just my opinion.

Costa 100 percent. Vettori maybe. The real question is when is Izzy going to move up again and go to light heavyweight?
Maybe Costa? his cut to 185 has never been easy for him.
I think both guys could still have plenty of success in the MW division. Marvin would probably have to have a few spectacular fights with some great opponents before he got another shot. Costa may have an easier path to the belt again seeing as he hasn't lost to the Izzy twice yet.
