PBP UFC Fight Night 228 - Fiziev vs. Gamrot PBP Discussion: Sat. 9/23 at 4PM ET/1PM PT

[Sgt Smith]

Wow, great fight

 

[sdpdude9]

I always feel the same way. The fouler should draw the ire from fans, not the fouled fighter. The opposite seems to happen far more often though.

 

[Linelo]

Split draw last card in a title fight and DQ loss for the biggest favorite this card.

What were the betting odds for those?

 

[wufabufa]

I'm not saying Brundage should continue after an illegal strike but in the losses I've seen from him he doesn't deal well with adversity and tends to give up easily.

Not surprised by his behavior.

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

LOL. Only had $5 on it.

[Paynebringer]

Brundage didn't want no more smoke, but rules is rules so I gonna hate.

 

[Pakman]

Hilarious.

I love when people lose by fouling someone. Stop cheating.

"cheating"

the guy went to throw an elbow and Brundage rolled, so instead of the side of the head it landed on the back of the head.

Yes, a foul, but you're making it seem as if he purposely aimed at the back of the head and slammed multiple elbows into it.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Well, looks like missing that wedding paid off for Brundage.

Weddings are overrated any way.

 

[Eternalwarriorking]

Is this the beginning of Brundage's run to the belt?

 

[NewLockGuy]

I'm all done. This shit is ridiculous. See ya everyone.

 

[Cherry]

Topuria beats Bryce 10/10 times

 

[usernamee]

Wasn’t brundage cut before this fight, and took this on short notice to “save his ufc career” yikes

well if that's the case he sure as hell shut that door forever

 

[Quietus]

PATHETIC inconsistency on the part of the UFC. The previous fight had a more fight-altering foul, Collier gets fouled in a fight he's winning and could've taken a NC/DQ but opted to stay in then took a loss and lost half his pay. Cody Brundage gets fouled in a fight he's losing badly, and opts out so he wins by DQ, gets win on his record and his full pay.

Absolutely sickening inconsistency and makes the UFC look bush league.This kind of stuff can happen in title fights as we saw with Aljo/Yan 1, and they have NO consistent and correct way of handling the situation, and no legitimate appeal process to right the wrongs. UFC = bush league circus sideshow.

 

[KarateYeah]

Braundage wins by DQ. Clear shot to back of the head. Now hopefully he will remember his wife Amanda Cooper when he gets home.

Malkoun ascting like it's bullshit. Fuck you Malkoun.

Wacha mean about remember his wife? Deets bruh

 

[liner]

Next should be means fialho. Banger fight, best fight on the card

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

That ESPN deal UFC made has caused this shit. They need hacks to fill these weekly Fight Nights. ESPN needs those cards no matter the quality. Thus crapfest fights that often end in snore decisions. Too many fighters too.

Very true, totally agree. Wish we could fast forward to the Fiziev vs Gamrot fight, I really want to see that one.. should be exciting!! . The fights have been very difficult to watch so far, not much skill

 

[milliniar]

Don't know about the DQ, as the part of the arm that hit the illegal area was not a power hit...but it was still illegal so.

 

[Ladder Master]

 

[DiddlyDoodly]

I'm not saying Brundage should continue after an illegal strike but in the losses I've seen from him he doesn't deal well with adversity and tends to give up easily.

Not surprised by his behavior.

Yeah, he didn't want to fight anymore.

 

[sdpdude9]

Let's be honest. This card has been a wet fart

I see people bitching about the apex center. Well I hear you now. It honestly seems like ufc might be saving money with these events instead of hitting the road? I don't want to hear Dana say they need to "get out of their comfort zone." There's a tremendous absence of energy and I feel it effects the fights sometimes

Lower production costs, no need to worry about selling tickets, and fulfill their contractual obligations. That’s why the are still doing and will continue to do the Apex. I personally wish they’d brand these events as a third tier product, it wouldn’t seem as bad then. But they won’t.
