Road to UFC semi finals pbp thread

[Hellowhosthat]

Dunno why there's no thread already but this is about to start on Fight Pass.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

About to get some Mongolian Vs Thai violence going.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Well that was a violent start, batters him, chokes him and drops him on his face.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

The Mongolian dude hits freakishly hard no shame in going down to him. Kind of explains why Topnoi was going for takedowns instead of trading with him on the feet.

Japanese wonderkid Rei Tsuruya has a tough challenge against Mark Climaco next.

Yeah Topnoi is pretty good tbh. Had a close fight with that guy and beat Yuma Horiuchi.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

I could be totally wrong but I don't think Rei Tsuruya has the physicality to compete with Climaco and is probably going to get knocked out.

If Cody Davis could not get anywhere near a takedown id be shocked if Tsuruya can take down and keep down Climaco.

Rei looking like the real deal so far.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Comfortable 10-9 to Rei. His grappling transitions are so good.

 

[gentel]

These Japanese grapplers in the small weight classes are hella good - Tatsuro Taira, Rinya Nakamura, and Tsuruya

 

[Hellowhosthat]

1-1 , solid round from Climaco, Rei tiring a bit.

 

[gentel]

1-1?

 

[gentel]

R1 Tsuruya
R2 Climaco
R3 debatable, guess it goes to Tsuruya though

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Close fight between probably the best two fighters in the bracket. Agree with the decision.

 

[UFCIsNOTRigged]

Was that a slip in the third round or did Rei shoot into a kick and get knocked down and nearly out?

I don't see how Rei can win that round off of damage after doing that if so.

They're not going to give someone a round off one good second

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Good start for the dog in this one against last year's finalist.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Zha taking over the rest of the round and probably edged it after nearly being choked early.

 

[gentel]

Close round, think Zha took it

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Zha has got a gas tank.
