PBP UFC 317: Topuria vs. Oliveira Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat. 6/28 at 10pm ET

[Ian]

He didn't belong, got lucky with Erceg and this is the result.

Is beating Erceg a big deal even if he didn’t get lucky??

 

[dmwalking]

Van has a puncher’s chance IMO. It’s a good chance. But Pantoja chokes him in two rounds. Kai Kara has more experience than Van on the mat and he was helpless. Pantoja’s ground game is too deep for Van.

I would like to see Topuria get a win, but
think Olives gets the job done.

 

[Luthien]

Didn't expect to see you posting this late in a card

hey now!! where is @HI SCOTT NEWMAN @Paynebringer @BroRogan

 

[Mask Of Winters]

I remember the days when they would have a shit ton of celebs at fights, now we get Theo and a basketball player. Lol

UFC dying confirmed.

 

[octagonation]

this has been just a paper thin card

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

power fap

 

[DrRodentia]

They need to get Van or someone who isn't total shit against Pantoja. The fact that this guy is a divisional champion speaks volumes of the state of the division, a boring-ass two round gas tank dude and nobody can beat him? LOL. Even the fact that we had to hope that the king of midness Kara France could beat him is sad AF.

Wildly dumb take. Good job.

UFC should have never got rid of the TRT exemptions. It went noticably down hill after that. TRT Vitor, HENDO H BOMBS, we were robbed many more years, of solid, satisfying, hellacious KOs. all of the greats would have provided MINIMUM 5-6 more KO highlights. damn shame.

 

[wildchild88]

Ok Oliveira, time to bring the title back to chute boxe muthafucka!

 

[DEV.Woulf]

Kai looked so small and weak in there and seemed lost. Definitely the runt of City Kickboxing. Love seeing Van getting fast tracked! Fast title shot for him.

 

[Croaker]

So Jake Paul fighting another washed up can.

Chavez Jr hasn't been the same since he got whooped by Sergio Martinez, he had some glimpses of his old self but then Canelo battered him and he's just coasted and hasnt given a fuck in almost a decade.

 

[MMA4Life]

Wish this was Islam vs Topuria. Olives might get fucked up. But olives has much more than and punchers chance.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

No love from the crowd for the hw champ

Did he get ANY kind of coronation or publication? Dana just kinda went "Yeah, he's the champ now" and that was it?

I missed tonight's event, but if they didn't at least cap off the main PPV card with him on screen getting a small ceremonial handoff of a belt by Dana or something, then what the fuck are they even doing?

I know in my heart and soul the Jurassic park movie will be ass but I still want to see it

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

High level, high pace fights not good for you? Finishes only a measly 7% less than Welterweight, so you’re talking less than 1 in 10 finishes difference. But muh size, thats how I determine if a fight is good.

Its not exactly muh size and it doesn't have everything to do with finish % but I'm too buzzed to properly articulate my feelings beyond the luchadore comparison I already made. Its just a completely different feel. If its your favorite awesome I'm not here to try and change your mind

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

modern movie slop, hard pass

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

I would like to see Topuria get a win, but
think Olives gets the job done.

Really? You want Topuria to win but think Olivera will? Total opposite of me

 

[Schoolboy Q]

Don’t care who wins in the main event, just wanna see someone questioning their life decisions after the fight.

 

[fishbisquit]

Van gonna get ass whooped

I don't think so to be honest. The kid is 23. He still has an invincible chin, and with his speed it is going to be hard to wrap him up. I think Pantoga gasses by round 3.
