Alright, lets move to the Main

That’s crazy. Philips totally outlanded him and won that fight. Oliveira is garbage

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Did Oliveira sneak in a down knee? Happened so fast

Yep, looked to be that way.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

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

For sure, but, you know, if he's willing to take his chances, I'm willing to watch with great interest lol

 

[rorschach51]

Good fight.

 

[Poirierfan]

I think it's obvious that a nice octagon nap is in Oliveira's very near future.

 

[EndlessCritic]

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

Bigger than Montel Jackson?

 

[MMA4Life]

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

Go fight that amateur

Kyler ran that whole round. Great performance by Oliveira

Ran? He landed. Oliveira couldn’t touch him

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Man whats happened to vettori

 

[fortheo]

Bigger than Montel Jackson?

Montel jackson is like an inch or two taller, but oliveira looked much thicker. Most guys that height at BW aren't that thick.

 

[Bradillac]

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

I sure hope he can see, that like the borderline minimum to be able to fight lol.

Or he sharpens and really he has great kicks. He wanted the bonus. Had no fear of Kyler.

 

[jspn]

who was the dude before this fuckin dweeb ron perlman fuck that did the promos back in the day? we need that guy back

 

[SKYNET]

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.

Despite running from the action, he actually won the 1st rd for me. It was a decent gameplan but he gassed.

 

[Dorkman]

I think it's obvious that octagon nap is in Oliveira's very near future.

Likely. But it'll probably lead to some ridiculous fire fights for our entertainment.

 

[fortheo]

For sure, but, you know, if he's willing to take his chances, I'm willing to watch with great interest lol

Who do you book him against next?

Kyler got beat up by an amateur

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

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.

Flat footed really take the pop off his shots. I agree he's sloppy but even when he's throwing bombs it seems like it's just wasted energy
