[Jason7227]

Smith literally dying of grief and pain.

Joe Rogan: "okay Im here with Anthony Smith. Anthony tell us how you are feeling right now."

Thrusts the mic to his face.

Yeah the mic thrust was insane.

 

[HHJ]

yall aint seen real sorrow yet

Just hold off til @Ares Black s' boy Ian get himself perished

 

[TITS]

lol I thought the same thing, luckily I didn't get flipped off by @Ares Black

Is that what he did? I clicked 4 times then stopped.

 

[podsox]

On the screen to my right I saw a woman at an NFL game win 100k tuition money for throwing more footballs into a target than her opponent

Which is kinda funny when juxtaposed with fighter pay

Football contest where they both use basketball chest passes. Brilliant stuff

 

[rorschach51]

STFU Reynes with your church bullshit... you can get off too
Thanks the lord for letting me beat the piss out of someone who just lost someone close..

Smith shouldn't have stepped in the cage then, don't take your shit out on Reyes for doing what he's paid to do.

 

[Croaker]

In the CFL, lol.

Strange way to spell AFC Championship game

 

[CasualBot]

Probably thought he was retiring

Crying, cte, joe feels this is the correct moment.

Strange way to spell AFC Championship game

I'm now 100% convinced you're on meth when you're posting in the Sports Bar, LOL.

 

[Ares Black]

yall aint seen real sorrow yet

Just hold off til @Ares Black s' boy Ian get himself perished

I think a humbling loss would be good for Garry

 

[Jason7227]

Sounds like grade A bs. You need your calories your bulking.

If you want actual title pieces in your ice cream you need Ben And Jerry's my friend!

 

[rorschach51]

I’ve been away a cpl months.

Was on holidays in Mexico, and relocated to BC where it’s warmer.

I’m sick of the UFC, and this place. Too many trolls. Tonight I’m watching for the first time in that couple of months.

I wish all my friends the best. You people are clearly not the problem.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to all the good folks. Take care.

I completely understand, I rarely post in the heavies at all anymore but I was so excited for this card I came back for tonight. Take care brother.

 

[Poirierfan]

Not a bad place to be for Hill

Now he can play the heel and people are invested in him

I don't think anyone actually cared about him either way before this.

True, I even I want to see him fight Alex again so he can get knocked out again. If he hadn't talked stupid shit no one would give a shit.

 

[wrb]

Smith just took this fight so he could have more mic time to be a drama queen

I like the guy but he loves that shit, I think its like his therapy. Just keep doing pods and the ESPN gig, hire some some chick to twist your nut sack if you must hurt yourself to feel alive.

 

[MMA4Life]

Levis' career is starting bloom and boom baby.

He also has a mayonnaise commercial

 

[Croaker]

I'm now 100% convinced you're on meth when you're posting in the Sports Bar, LOL.

I'm the only person there who still hasn't seen his or Favre's dicks. So I think I'm doing alright lmao

 

[ookii]

And Concussed men

I wont be surprised if one day he puts a mic in front of a dead corpse. His mind is programmed like an AI Bot

Dominick Reyes appears to have steadied himself in the Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight division.

The Teixeira MMA export stopped former Cage Fury Fighting Championships titleholder Anthony Smith with punches and elbows in the second round of their featured UFC 310 prelim on Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In his first assignment since the death of longtime friend and mentor Scott Morton, Smith (38-21, 13-11 UFC) met his end 4:46 into Round 2.


Reyes (14-4, 8-4 UFC) employed an active kicking game to all levels and called upon potent jab-cross combos. Smith swooped in for a single-leg takedown attempt early in the second round, only to be met with digging elbows. Reyes continued to chip away with shots to the side of the head, maintained a steady pace and left referee Marc Goddard no choice but to intervene.

Meanwhile, Kill Cliff Fight Club’s Vicente Luque put Themba Gorimbo to sleep with an anaconda choke in the first round of their welterweight clash. A short-notice replacement for Nick Diaz, Gorimbo (14-5, 4-2 UFC) drifted into the abyss 52 seconds into Round 1.

Luque (23-10-1, 16-6 UFC) sat down the Xtreme Couture rep with a counter right hook, then capitalized on the situation. He snaked his arms into place as Gorimbo tried to get back to his feet, rolled into his squeeze and waited for his counterpart to lose his grip on reality.

It was the first sub-minute finish of Luque’s outstanding 34-fight career.

Further down the undercard, American Top Team standout Movsar Evloev kept his perfect professional record intact with a unanimous decision over Aljamain Sterling in an engaging three-round featherweight battle. All three cageside judges scored it the same: 29-28 for Evloev (19-0, 9-0 UFC).

Sterling (24-5, 16-5 UFC) went stride for stride with the Russian for much of the match, which was marked by tactical takedowns, wild scrambles and explosive reversals. Evloev used a textbook Granby roll to achieve top position midway through the third round, applied some ground-and-pound and ultimately progressed to the back. Time ran out before Sterling could stage a response.

Evloev, 30, has gone the distance in all nine of his UFC victories.

Elsewhere, onetime Legacy Fighting Alliance champion Eryk Anders turned away Chris Weidman with punches in the second round of their catchweight confrontation at 195 pounds. Anders (17-8, 9-8 UFC) closed it out 4:51 into Round 1, winning for the third time in four appearances.

Weidman (16-8, 12-8 UFC) had his moments—he decked the former University of Alabama linebacker with a counter left hook in the first round—but ran out of gas in the middle stanza. There, Anders freed himself from an ill-advised guillotine attempt, set up in half guard and let fly with a sustained, minutes-long burst of ground-and-pound that resulted in the stoppage.

Having lost three of his last four bouts, the 40-year-old Weidman looks less and less like the man who once ruled the middleweight division.

Deeper into the preliminary draw, “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 15 winner Michael Chiesa celebrated his 37th birthday in style and took care of Max Griffin with a rear-naked choke in the third round of their welterweight encounter. Griffin (20-11, 8-9 UFC), who had never before been submitted, conceded defeat 1:56 into Round 3.

Chiesa (18-7, 13-7 UFC) wore down the ex-Tachi Palace Fights titleholder with awkward but effective standup, repeated takedowns and a relentless clinch. He grounded Griffin a little more than a minute into the third round, progressed to the back, secured position with a body triangle and cinched the choke for the finish.

The 39-year-old Griffin has alternated wins and losses in each of his past five appearances.

Griffin was not the only competitor to flex his submission skills, as Chase Hooper disposed of former Strikeforce champion Clay Guida with an armbar in the first round of their lightweight affair. Guida (38-25, 18-19 UFC) raised the white flag of surrender 3:41 into Round 1, suffering his third consecutive setback.

The 25-year-old Hooper (15-3-1, 7-3 UFC) opened a cut near the Team Alpha Male rep’s eye with slashing left hands and executed multiple takedowns. He eventually scrambled onto Guida’s back, transitioned to the armbar, cut off avenues of escape and activated his hips to prompt the tapout.

Hooper will ride a four-fight winning streak into his next assignment.

Finally, two-time Dana White’s Contender Series alum Kennedy Nzechukwu filled in as a short-notice replacement for Tallison Teixeira and put away Lukasz Brzeski with punches in the first round of their heavyweight pairing. Brzeski (9-5-1, 1-5 UFC) bowed out 4:51 into Round 1, losing for the second time in as many outings.

Nzechukwu (14-5, 8-5 UFC) stepped forward behind range-finding jabs, sharp front kicks to the body and the occasional straight left. Late in the first round, he floored Brzeski with a clean counter right hook, gave chase with cruel intentions and cleaned up the leftovers with hammerfists.

The 32-year-old Nzechukwu has rattled off back-to-back victories.

In other action, an overweight Bryan Battle (12-2, 7-1 UFC) eked out a split decision—28-29, 29-28, 29-28—over onetime Ring of Combat champion Randy Brown (19-6, 13-6 UFC) in a three-round welterweight scrap; and former Fury Fighting Championship titleholder Joshua Van (12-2, 5-1 UFC) rode crisp combination punching to a unanimous decision over American Top Team’s Cody Durden (17-7-1, 6-5-1 UFC) in a three-round flyweight tilt, earning 29-28, 30-26 and 30-27 scores from the cageside judges.
