PBP UFC 322: Della Maddalena vs. Makhachev Official Main Card PBP Discussion: Sat 11/15 at 10pm ET

You don't go 25 with Islam on top of you with atrocious grappling. You just don't.

I meant he obviously didn’t have ANY high level wrestlers training with him, ever, if he is going for that. Athleticism gets you pretty far, especially a weight class above your opponent. But there was atleast 5-6 spots were Islam expected a tap and it simply didn’t happen because of the weight class diff

Tossing someone and landing in a dominant position with a wizzer NEVER works, ever, vs anyone decent. Wtf are you talking about? The entire point of a wizzer is to neutralize their offense, it is never meant to be an offensive move itself. It might work for high school fights or middle school fights, maybe?

Here’s DII National Champion Michael Pixley dislocating a world champion and ADCC medalist’s shoulder with it

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

I keep seeing Usman's name getting brought up... the fuck did he do to deserve a title shot?

He's the stipe to Islam Jon. if they try to put that on the whitehouse card, it's the worst possible decision the UFC could make lol, absolute carny shit

 

[UppercutFromHades]

I obviously picked Islam but even I didn't think he'd absolutely dominate JDM like that. This is scary for the dudes at WW.

 

[IneedSometop]

when was the last time a championship fight was even remotely close? all recent fights for the belt has either been a rd1 ko or 50-45 domination

I wanted to dispute this but I actually couldn't it's been a long while since there was uber competitive championship fight. Maybe JDM vs belal? It was a good fight but I remember JDM being a pretty clear winner think I scored it 49-46

 

[Mammothman]

Amazing card, I'm happy my people won!

 

[DrRodentia]

It’s subjectively boring because Islam could have opened up more. Impressive for both sides but Khabib for instance would’ve flogged the absolute fuck out of JDM there. JDM gets up, ah well we will take him down again. Beat the fuck out of him until he gives a chance to finish the fight.

No denying that Khabib was the more damage focused of the two

 

[wrb]

Nah. These dagis are abusing the rules just getting takedowns and sitting on top of their opponents.

It's near impossible to stand up against that level of grappler not willing to take any risks to finish the fight. If you try to force it without them creating an opening, you just end up giving up your back.

The rules should put the onus on the fighter on top to take risks and try to finish the fight, not just hold position.

I think Islam won on the feet as well, its weird.

 

[MMA4Life]

Whatta you going to do?
Its just shitty broadcasting period.
Bob Costas and Jim Nantz are busy.

Illia talking all of the shit

 

[IneedSometop]

Islam stuffs Ilia in a trashcan at 170

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

Finally conceding, eh, abuelo?

come on brotha, you know it, i know it, believe it

it’s insane how you legit don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about but wrestled in middle school or something and think you do.

Go 2-3 years austin texas and forget brudda

 

[battouter]

i was afraid of this americans come in if he just stayed few more fights he would loose going by logic if he stay in ufc when he retires he could also win all of his fights

at most he fights twice. he fights a kamaru type of matchup then somebody who can't wrestle.

 

[DrRodentia]

Won rd 3 vs Khasmat and has a name

Dominated Buckley, too. Not that I think he deserves the shot.

Bro, on paper you’re right but Islam LITERALLY hit different.

It’s someone doing the move you said “never” works and michael pixley has won a national championship doing it lmao

 

[Automata]

Edwards didnt lose his first defense. he defended against Usman in a rematch then Colby before losing to Bellal.

You're right. For some reason I was thinking there was someone between Leon and Bellal.
