Ariel, how come your ringer stuff shows up randomly in apple podcast. Is the only way to listen to it consistently on Spotify? Thanks

Freaking gladiators!! This is what I came for! Thank you boys!!! Whew!!!

So glad it's over. I feel like when I watch Max it's like watching your brother fight. The last 30 seconds, I was like "don't get hit!!!"

Same here but I saw that he was focused

Expand full comment

Every time I underestimate Max, despite his body of work. Every time I am proven wrong (except two, but even those...)

Expand full comment

So fucking glad we have 5 round

Expand full comment

Oops F'n glad, sorry Ariel 😉

19-19 after 2 imo

Expand full comment

Yair got thr first?

Expand full comment

how many leg kicks can one man take? 19-19

Expand full comment

BIG lump on the front of Max's lead leg. Nasty leg kicks from Yair and super competitive so far

Yair was fading mid 2nd round of that Stephens fight, let’s see how his cardio holds up this time.

So nervous!! What a fight!!!!!

Expand full comment

For real!!!

live underdog alret!

Expand full comment

For real! Damn

Expand full comment

Yair might have the fastest kicks I have ever seen

Re: "Future Hall of Fame'r"

What determines whether you are admitted into it or not?

Expand full comment

Yeah I wish TUF was not so scripted like now, they tried to make it to professional I think. We really don't see any banter or anything that goes on in the house thats not fighting related.

Expand full comment

It's so hard to watch

Expand full comment

ooo a TUF announcement

Expand full comment

terrible news! ufc just announced the return of the ultimate fighter in 2022

Expand full comment

Josh Emmett finally returning at 269 you love to see it

Great promo for Nunes Peña. Kinda forgot just how bad Nunes slept Cyborg

that was so bad. dean has been shaky for a while now.

Expand full comment

De Lima: “Should I stop?”

Herb Dean: “Sure, why not”

Expand full comment

Seems pubic backlash for previous mess ups may have gotten to his head. Sports psychologist for a ref can't hurt

Expand full comment

Jason Herzog is the best ref in the game now hands down

Expand full comment

1a Herzog

1b Goddard

Expand full comment

I think it was the Amanda Ribas fight earlier this year on fight island where he literally tripped over her trying to stop it

Expand full comment

All refs makes mistakes here and there but Herb Dean mistakes are a catastrophe!

Expand full comment

Now I understand why Dan Hardy yelled at him!

Expand full comment

Herb has really downgraded as a ref in the past year or 2

Expand full comment

Bro thats like the 4th or 5th time herb has done thaat during a stoppage this year... I used to love Herb he was at the top of the game but IMO he has gone down hill the past few years

Expand full comment

Herb Dean is terrible

Expand full comment
founding

What was that herb?

Expand full comment

Love Herb's work generally - that was a super awkward stoppage

Expand full comment

Lol Cejudo saying Baeza fight was stopped early

Expand full comment

Jeez at least Baeza has the excuse of getting knocked moments earlier

Felicia Spencer x Kayla Harrison would be a very appropriate step up for Harrison.

Expand full comment

Ufc dot com doesn't even have rankings listed for women's featherweight. Has Felicia said anything about fighting at bantamweight?

Expand full comment

Hadn't even considered it before today, but I would love that matchup

Expand full comment

Hyped to see Felicia back in there

Expand full comment

This is a great round, wow

Expand full comment

Both fighters tough as nails, damn

Expand full comment

That type of fighting is so exhausting. It's wild they have kept this for essentially 8 mins

Expand full comment

That could be a POTN, no?

Expand full comment

Gotta be between Spencer and Alvarez at this rate

Expand full comment

Although De Lima...

Where you all writing from? I'm in Montréal

hello montreal!

Expand full comment

What do you miss most about Montreal? Besides Parc Jarry of course

Expand full comment

North Dakota, USA. Cheers buddy

Expand full comment

I've had some good memories there. I love ND :)

Expand full comment

What do you guys think the reason Justin doesn't want to see Chiesa's koi pond is?

Expand full comment

New way to counter the low kick, just knock the guy out

Expand full comment

I’ll try to remember to put this on the next Wednesday thread. Thoughts on when a fighter has a eye poke or a low blow having to leave the ring and go on an air bike or something while the other fighter is recovering. Not fair that they can just sit there and get back their cardio after an illegal blow and the other guy is on the mat is terrible pain not being able to recover

Hoping Chaos does his stare where he doesn’t blink as the opponent walks in

Expand full comment

Anyone see Conors tweets about Max?

Expand full comment

Oh no. Just saw them. He actually makes a good point haha

Expand full comment

Day show? He’s the worst haha

Expand full comment

Holy smokes that finish was nice. Alvarez seriously has to start making weight tho cuz its getting ridiculous

John Morgan just reported it was actually the corners advice to Calvillo to stop the fight

good

Ay. Two hard losses in three weeks. Good call

Beautiful performance by Lee and much respect for Calvillo acknowledging she couldn’t continue. That’s not easy for a fighter.

Expand full comment

Lee is the only KGB agent from Louisiana

Expand full comment

That's what they want you to think

Expand full comment

Lee looking so much better every fight. Great performance .

Expand full comment

Lee is player at 125 🥊

As long as Valentina is queen, NO ONE is a player at 125.

Poor Calvillo, but Lee with that crazy reach. Calvillo probably couldn't breathe through her nose or see.

Expand full comment

I was thinking the same about the nose, Lee was landing that jab over & over again.

Calvillo x Lee not waiting to feel each other out. Right into it from the start!
