PBP UFC 318 - Holloway vs. Poirier 3 Preliminary Card PBP Discussion: Sat 7/19 at 6pm ET

[Fact Checker]

Kyler ran that whole round. Great performance by Oliveira

 

[Marko Atanasovik]

Sugar Ray Leonard in MMA.
Flurry of punches near the end to steal round.
29-27 Vini.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Oliveira really doesn't throw anything that can't potentially kill you. He loads up almost every strike lol. Will work against him eventually, but I really enjoy it

He's doing it flat footed though. He's going to get slept eventually

 

[Langinbang187]

He looked so sharp in the first round. He's just outgunned physically by a pretty wide margin.

He gassed in 3 minutes....he's 135 lbs lol...that is inexcusable

 

[Bobby Boulders]

Did Oliveira sneak in a down knee? Happened so fast

 

[RampageFaction]

Oliviera’s got some Palhares weirdness vibes to him.

 

[Siver!]

it's actually possible to give phililps 1/3. would be one of the worst robberies ever if he somehow won.

I'd be surprised because the idiocy of the judges usually rewards mindless aggression anyway.

 

[ThaiPlumRillo]

Let's see Phillips get koed for trying to make this fight suck

 

[Bradillac]

@Bradillac

Was I not proven right lol? Dude looks like an amateur.

 

[Jackonfire]

Prelims were fun. Now its time for the main card.

Oliveira is fucking huge for BW. Might be the biggest on the roster.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

I just want everybody to know I voted for Oliviera. I knew he had this the whole time

 

[Ladder Master]

I would like to thank the Lord for making breasts.

 

['Rocky']

These dudes look like welterweights.

 

[BFoe]

Dude needs to learn to get his hands up, but I’ll take it.

Main card time.

 

[meast]

He looked so sharp in the first round. He's just outgunned physically by a pretty wide margin.

I think Oliveira was slipping a lot which helped.

 

[Dorkman]

That has to be so humbling. To be a intriguing prospect dedicating your life to sharpening your skills that had expectations. To just be getting walked down with complete disdain by a guy fighting with absolutely no fundamentals being used. Nothing but aggression, and power coming at you for 15 minutes straight. That's gotta be such mental experience. The look in Phillips eyes as that fight result was being announced was complete blankness. He knows he has some soul searching to do after that.

 

[MMA4Life]

Nothing has changed since the first round. Dude still looks amateur, it’s a good thing he has power.

He has vision and see’s strikes coming couldn’t be held down. Etc. come on guy.

 

[podsox]

it's actually possible to give phililps 1/3. would be one of the worst robberies ever if he somehow won.

I had the 2nd rd a 10-8 but ya if Phillips just stood his ground more and landed a few combinations the fight was for the taking

 

[Langinbang187]

He's doing it flat footed though. He's going to get slept eventually

Hands down, chin in the air will get you killed, flat foot or not...he has an ugly style.

Hid athletic ability is the difference, but he will meet a killer eventually.
