PBP UFC 297 Strickland vs. Du Plessis: Preliminary Card PBP Discussion - Sat 1/20 at 6:30pm ET / 3:30pm PT

[SuperNerd]

How does the average male fare against an elite MMA fighter the morning of weigh ins?

Barao lost a fight to a faucet.

 

[Substance Abuse]

'Tiger!' Balm commercials, huh?

 

[Poirierfan]

Absolutely beautiful and gorgeous

Appreciate the kind words, they're definitely family.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Allen x Evloev such a fun fight on paper

lol both are completely pillowfisted

<45>

 

[bartalone]

Dom's a much better commentator than dc/joe

He flat out knows more about the sport than most anyone sitting with him. Always liked his calling.

 

[gracie_barra_samurai]

This better be a good fight. I'm sleeping after it. Got to get up early tomorrow in UK.

 

[Oscar Madison]

I love it man.. it makes every fight seem more important. I can't stand the Apex, there are so many problems with it, it was only ok for Covid lockdown.. just to get through. Now its hurting the fights badly, theres just no atmosphere or energy or excitement at all, its so flat, makes every fight seem and look so unimportant.

I love these intense crowds. I wish they do it for every event. Please no more TUF set

True.

Joe Martinez screaming at the Apex "crowd" to "MAKE SOME NOISE!" --

is less than epic.

need more Power Slap promos. imho

 

[STAY GOLD]

More so than the MW title. Who do have winning?

Yeah. I'm looking forward to Strickland vs. DDP, but this one is a tougher fight to predict. I think Evloev pulls it off and cements himself as the next contender after Volk vs. Ilia.

Dana White said at the press conference:

"Let me start this off by thanking you (Toronto)," UFC CEO Dana White said before the start of the UFC 297 pre-fight press conference. "First of all, gate, $7.6 million US. 18,100 (tickets), sold out

Scalpers finna catch an ass whooping then cuz there is a lot of unsold tickets. I've been checking cuz I thought man if one pops up around 250 for a good seat I'm grabbing it even if I can only make the main card. It's too late as of right now I'm done checking. Cheapest decent seat was just under 500. Not worth going to sit in the 3rd level

 

[Pechan]

Was a fight canceled? its been like half an hour since the last one.

Joe was talking to us because we're the only ones who remember WEC and hold it in such high regard.

 

[CleverNameEh]

Poly by whatever she wants

 

[MMA4Life]

lol both are completely pillowfisted

<45>

So you have no interest in that fight decision might be a good bet I’m looking for a headkick KO

 

[Danespina]

I'm always rooting for Gillian.

 

[Pechan]

Waifu!

 

[Blastbeat]

one of the rare WMMA fights where a finish is pretty much guaranteed.

im thinking Gillian will get a sub

i wish they would strip the APEX down, get some old school bleachers up in there, and treat it like WEC. minimal everything, just lights, and raging military service people/fans, and just go from there. don't want to see the pagenatry and stage presentation of UFC, minus the fucking action or atmosphere. fuck the APEX. treat it like the feeder league, strip everything down. ain't no one need to see all those lights and production for nothing.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Let’s go Savage.

One of my all-time favs.

Weebs, stand up
