PBP ONE 165: Superlek vs. Takeru, Sun. 1/28, 3 AM ET/12 AM PT PBP Discussion Thread

[Killer Kadoogan]

damn respect to Shinya Aoki man. an outlier of the JMMA scene. always amazing to see his grappling in the sport, at the highest levels, the consistency. one of my favorite fighters.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Good thing Aoki didn't decide to have a Hirota episode here. He'd have manhandled Lineker.

Why's he's sound like a 300 year old Japanese demon who smokes 8 packs of cigarettes a day? Ffs

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Damn lineker got ran thru

 

[Wormwood]

Still curious on why he pulled out

No reason given yet?

Nah, haven't heard anything. Tried to research but maybe something will come out tomorrow

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Sage would have fucked up aoki. Too much wrestling and athleticism to be taken down like that

 

[ryun253]

What was that by Aoki :O "I want One to love me back"

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

OH MAN, Aoki with some sort of call out to ONE. Why dont dey love him?

Probably has to due with his contract, heard One contracts are worse than UFC's

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Still curious on why he pulled out

If it was an issue with his corner, probably couldn't get in.

Some last-minute changes:

 

[Wormwood]

It's particularly fast tonight. Usually they talk between fights, they show interviews of fighters and top 5 KO/SUB etc.

That’s what I thought.. seems faster tonight

Some last-minute changes:

Wow, terrible look by Sage.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

well, i'm tapping out yall. tapping due to strikes. the worst way. we've witnessed eras, histories, many long forgotten battles of yore. all we have are the memories. respect. long live JMMA, an integral part to the scene.

 

[Wormwood]

Some last-minute changes:

Visa?? US Passport holders don’t need a visa for Japan.. maybe because it’s work they need a work visa?

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Sage said on his instagram his coaches were not allowed in his corner because of visa issues and even though One offered replacement coaches he pulled out. Seems like a bit of a coward move by sage when Jon just stepped up to get a whooping.

 

[TJ Dillashank]

Beat me by a minute lol

 

[CatchtheseHands]

Sage fighting a world class Muay Thai fighter wasn't the best for him but he still did it.

Boo.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Tough choice but sage should have been mentally stronger and took the fight imo
