PBP UFC 301 - Pantoja vs. Erceg Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat. 5 / 4 at 10pm ET

[Jackonfire]

That is certainly a creative interpretation of what happened

He literally did a flip. Thats not a strike. He passed guard.

*Aljo gets kneed to the head*

Shertards: "omg Aljo is acting, not a real champ, bs DQ"

*random prelim fighter gets a little shin to the head"

Shertards: OMG DQ PERREIRA THAT IS ILLEGAAAAL! WHERE IS THE MANAGER?

I mean.. they stopped the Aljo fight and gave him the option to continue. If he did, they probably would have taken a point.

It tracks that they should have AT LEAST stopped this fight, warned for an illegal blow, and reset standing. Possibly take a point.

 

[don't ask]

This is real fighting.

Fuck yes. I can't count the number of times I've laid up fools in the street by flipping onto their face with my crotch.

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

wow coached by cristiano marcello. didn't think i'd ever hear that name again.

 

[Domitian]

Just noticed Erceg is ranked 10? How did he get a title shot

Because Pantoja has wins over like everybody

 

[Neck&Neck]

Only a buster would overturn that result

You guys should check out that tennis sport I was talking about
aLot less ouchies

I was the first poster to spam the jb guy in a pbp

Incidental fouls happen all the time. It’s a fight. Shouldn’t cancel a win over something incidental that didn’t directly cause the win. A clash of heads that results in Ko? Ok, NC. Eye poke that causes a fight to end? Ok, NC. But an accidental, incidental grounded kick/knee that didn’t directly cause the finish? Nah, I don’t see that as grounds for a NC.

Aldo full on grabbed the fence to avoid a TD. Moments later he got a KO win over Chad. It is what it is. lol.


Plus; Michel already dropped him with a legit strike. Then finished him with a legit choke. He dominated that fight. It would be so ass to make it NC because he accidentally landed a minor knee on his way down.

It shouldn't have canceled it, the ref should have caught that though. He could have been dazed and that's what lead to the choke, you never know. Normally they would have looked that over.

 

[dog y]

Pussy DC not even asking him about the illegal knee. DC is such a shill, knows where his bread is buttered. Obviously. Look at him.

Fatso making Shogun look like a MW lol

 

[tornado362]

I'm good bro, how are you?

Although I have been here the whole time, haha, ready as always with the Fights to Make!

Not too bad, enjoying the fights so far.

Craig frustrated me, as per usual.

Managed to miss the whole Pereira fight.

Did you see the prelim picks earlier?

 

[El Fernas]

That flip isn't a strike. WTF is the problem

Ends up kind of hitting the opponent, it wasnt to the face imo tho, last time he didnt to Nico Price iirc, and then it did landed lightly on his face and he looked at the ref like wtf, ref didnt do anything back then, he needs to drop that move, it will get him DQ´d eventually or NC if he is lucky.

 

[dmwalking]

Man, I miss the days when I like A Smith. He’s had some good finishes.


But he’s so annoying now. Also, he attacked my family.

 

[MDoza]

Still not a strike so no problem

lmao if I'm a coach I'm teaching my fighters to jump on guys heads knee first, because its "not a strike", from now on

 

[GreenGorilla]

I can see Petrino not gassing our just losing the fight by having less fight iq.
But I can also see him connecting with a big punch and finishing Smith.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

It shouldn't have canceled it, the ref should have caught that though. He could have been dazed and that's what lead to the choke.

you're aon a roll tonight bro, but i disagree with this take. much love and respect. WAR POIRIER!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Mammothman]

Anyone else feel like Smith might pull off the upset. He's sort of made a career out of destroying these hyped prospects

I would be mad!

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

alright return of the mac time

 

[Ladder Master]

That one staff member is back.

 

[Luthien]

Smith gets knocked out in R1

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Jon Jones will take Tom down in their fight - then back away - do a crazy flip into the air and knee his brains back to England

There are better odds at Mark Hunt returning, getting an instant title shot, and literally ending Jon's life via Atomic Butt Drop in the first televise MMA fatality.
