Great scrap.

 

[sdpdude9]

Topuria looked good first round but by the end not impressed. Pretty average performance.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Easy decision for Topuria even though he didn't actually do much.

 

[Captain Tenneal]

I haven't been in these forums for a while because of the ridiculous problem with ads and pop-ups. But tonight I am not really having that issue so thank you to everyone who fixed that shit.

If you switch themes at the bottom it helps too

 

[Siver!]

2-1 Topuria. Impressed by Thicknesse though. Bad idea shooting the takedowns in the third when he was lighting up Topuria.

That's my take too.

Topuria realistically wins, but the UFC were really bullshitting us throughout that fight lmao

 

[HHJ]

Well that got boring

 

[KAZSoliloquy]

thicknesse won this last round. topuria legitimately did nothing. thicknesse landed some good right hands on the feet and threatened with subs. 2-1 topuria but i wouldn't be surprised if the judges gave thicknesse round 2 either.

 

[BabyBlue_Bomber]

30-27 Topuria…

Credit to Thicknesse for trying to fight until the end, but he really had nothing for Topuria…

 

[milliniar]

Top ramen controlled the thicknesse to win.

 

[TheGreatA]

Thicknesse's fight IQ was non-existent.

 

[Poirierfan]

No doubt who the better fighter in that family is.

 

[Substance Abuse]

Nepotism is the cause of the first shit fight of the night.

 

[traditionally_irreverent]

Thickness for the win!

 

[Haloxiv]

Naw you fucked up. Joking dude anything you make yourself is a good thing.

 

[tornado362]

Was that a buggy choke that Thicknesse tried to get? or Just a strange triangle

 

[fortheo]

2-1 Topuria. Impressed by Thicknesse though. Bad idea shooting the takedowns in the third when he was lighting up Topuria.

Seriously. He should have been spamming the takedowns in the early rounds, not the last round when topuria lost some steam on his punches and was getting hit more easily.

 

[CasualBot]

Tops bro has animal potential.

Too bad he couldn't finish.

 

[Sixstring]

Partially right is alright grandma used to say

 

[HuskySamoan]

Both guys show promise.
Won't surprise both being ranked in a few years

Thicknesse showed a lack of talent. Isn't quick, doesn't hit hard enough to get someone's respect, isn't physically strong enough to reliably get takedowns vs better athletes. He's well rounded and well trained but just meh. Alexandre Topuria didn't look great either.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

The Thicknesse not even getting a round is going to trigger some folks methinks.
