['Rocky']

Why is everyone still posting in the Preliminary thread? lmao

 

[EndlessCritic]

i have no idea why the ufc signed old man pitbull. completely pointless.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Who won that round?

 

[Alpha_T83]

Aight, this event definitely sucks I'm gonna head to bed. Not worth staying up for 1.5 more hours for the main event.

 

[Ronin13]

Boring

 

[fortheo]

Pitbull simply can't lead the dance in a striking battle

He never really could. He's capable of great moments, but most of his fights are staring contests with lots of feints until a big moment presents itself. Not the most exciting for fans.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

I thought maybe Pitbull was gun shy against Yair since he's so much taller, younger, faster, etc.

But damn he really must not believe in his striking at all

All he really can do is get some nice takedowns, it doesn't seem like he has any offensive tools outside of that

 

[CleverNameEh]

Finally in!

Quick like 5.5-6hr rd trip turned into a 9.5 hr ordeal.

Hwys were partially flooded in a rainstorm, really chapped my biscuits.

 

[Quietus]

Any time commentary starts talking about a "chess match" or "measured approach" they're doing damage control for two guys being tentative and putting on a stinker. Crowd got spoiled by a lot of early finishes and wars so they're already booing these guys.

 

[Bradillac]

I expected to watch, be bored and bitch ITT with my bros. Expectations are being met in full

Wasn’t talking about you. But the people who paid for this should have known what they were getting. We’re lucky that the prelims were pretty good, and I’m sure Poirier vs Holloway will be good, but there isn’t much on the line in that fight.

 

[MMA4Life]

Ok now Ige has to think

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

Aight, this event definitely sucks I'm gonna head to bed. Not worth staying up for 1.5 more hours for the main event.

Not worth it?? But the stakes are off the charts in the main event

 

[Killhippies]

Draw round, really disappointing output from both.

 

[IneedSometop]

Man I wish knees to grounded opponents were legal pitbull not being able to take advantage of cradle position because of that is whack

 

[Tchernobog]

Pitbull fighting way too cautiously, these aren't 5 rounders at Bellator anymore dude

 

[aerius]

Where's that motherfucker in the PBP who cursed the card with decisions a couple hours ago?

 

[DrRodentia]

Pitbull isn't UFC level

Yair would finish guys that aren't UFC level

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

He never really could. He's capable of great moments, but most of his fights are staring contests with lots of feints until a big moment presents itself. Not the most exciting for fans.

Has he always done the thing where he stops and looks as if he's the one being active and his opponent won't engage? Lmao

Just a bunch of drunk Louisiana hillbillies killing time until Doostin comes out
