PBP UFC 305 Du Plessis vs. Adesanya Official Preliminary Card PBP Discussion: Sat 8/17 at 6:30pm ET

[Dorkman]

Thats how you should do it. Make it easy for the match makers, and you'll get booked.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

DC with the weight of the world on his shoulders.

 

[Schoolboy Q]

I’m not satisfied with wars anymore, I want career ending KO’s like Angelo Leo Vs Venado López

 

[Spounman]

The biggest travesty was that Herbert Burns was ranked higher than Jack Jenkins going into that fight

 

[Neck&Neck]

Goddard has to verbalize his intent before that call. I don't care if he thinks Herbert was done (he was) or not. He's a shit ref.

Who cares, if you don’t stand up then…

 

[Luthien]

DC the Black Grimace

Dude, why do you want to see him get killed in a foreign country literally across the globe? Burns took a beating and had NOTHING left, he even took time to get back up, this wasnt the first time he got dropped.

He needs to ask. That simple.

 

[StonedLemur]

He won a fight 4 years ago...the man is getting cut.

As he should sir.

 

[Carsormyr]

He looked broken. Ask and explain. That's his job. In a bigger fight, it's an uproar.

Goddard saw that he was done and checked out so he stopped it

Guess he wanted him to be able to save face.

Him and Beltran are the worst refs in the game. Wannabe tough guys with way too big of an ego

Mini Lesnar and Tognoni are worse. It's close though.

 

[wwkirk]

Fashionably late as usual, has anyone been completely KTFO yet? Like not TKO, I mean mean completely stiff, the rigor mortis is setting in.

Fully slept via sub in the first fight of the card.

 

[Neck&Neck]

AFRIKAN KANG

 

[John Scaler]

Leg kicks are so efficient.

Also, this why I don't like Marc Goddard's refereeing style. He should have given Israel Adesanya, Aljamain Sterling, and Jiří Procházka the same benefit of the doubt he gave Herbert Burns. This fight meant nothing, and yet Burns was given the option to go out. While title fights were stopped early. What the hell!

LOL

 

[Sixstring]

@Luthien - I saw you hyping this bet. Good luck. Not sure what will replace your AV if you lose tho.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Cheers, Sherbros.

 

[MMA4Life]

Dricus needs a Nelson Mandela tattoo.

 

[Fact Checker]

He won a fight 4 years ago...the man is getting cut.

Nah, the UFC doesn’t have standards anymore.


They keep bottom of the barrel guys like Burns to feed their Contender Series prospects like Jenkins. I remember they shamelessly signed that Moutinho bot off the street just to feed O’Malley lol

 

[Ares Black]

Very unsatisfying finish. I wanted to see Burns's corpse quivering on the mat. Oh well, the night is still young...

I think it was satisfying in its own way TBH. There is something very poetic about making your opponent unable to stand up and face you.

 

[InvisibleEskimo]

It kind of looked like Herbert may have said or verbalized something to the ref. Looked like he quit there, more so than ref early stop

 

[CleverNameEh]

Fashionably late as usual, has anyone been completely KTFO yet? Like not TKO, I mean mean completely stiff, the rigor mortis is setting in.

Opening fight ended in strangulation with no tap, much nap.

That's the best we've had so far.
